You say to yourself "Self !  Energy can't be created or destroyed.
The skier's kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill is exactly the
potential energy s/he had at the top."

Potential energy at the top = (mass) (gravity) (height)

                                       = (65.8 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (521 m)

                                       =  (65.8 x 9.8 x 521)  kg-m²/s²

                                       =    335,961.6 joules .

Part-a:  No energy is lost on the way down.

Kinetic energy at the bottom = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)

          335,961.6 joules  =  (1/2) (65.8 kg) (speed²)

          335,961.6 joules / 32.9 kg  =  speed²

          335,961.6 kg-m²/s² / 32.9 kg  =  speed²

          (335,961.6 / 32.9)  m²/s²  =  speed²

                     speed  =  101 m/s
___________________________________________

Part b:  Energy is lost on the way down.

Just subtract the 1.4 x 10⁵ J of energy away from the 335,961.6 J
before you do the Kinetic Energy calculation at the bottom of the hill.
The skier lost that much energy on the way down, by scraping against
snow and air and stuff, so it isn't available to make speed at the bottom.

lys-0071 [83]

Answer: the maximum heigth of the stadium at ist back wall is 151.32 ft

Explanation:

1. use the position (x) equation in parobolic movement to find the time (t)

565 ft = [frac{176 ft}{1 s\\}[/tex] * cos (35°)  * t

t= 3.92 s

2. use the position (y) equation in parabolic movement to find de maximun heigth  the ball reaches at 565 ft from the home plate.

y= [[frac{176 ft}{1 s\\}[/tex] * sen (35°) * 3.92 s] - \frac{32.2 ft/s^{2} *3.92 s^{2}  }{2}

y= 148.32 ft

3. finally add the 3 ft that exist between the home plate and the ball

148.32 ft + 3 ft = 151.32

An apple from the top branch of the tree and an apple from the bottom branch of a tree fall at the same time. Which apple will h
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
B. The apple from the bottom will hit the ground earlier. This is because an increase in height causes an increase in the time that the object will fall, and therefore will affect the final velocity of the falling object. Moreover, the reduction in velocity due to friction from the air should also be considered.

At what distance between two objects would you have the greatest gravitational force
Alla [95]

The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the
square of the distance between their centers.  So the
force is greatest when the distance is zero.

When are magnets attracted and when are they repelled.
vova2212 [387]
Magnets are attracted when each of the different sides, most commonly known as "North" and "South", are facing each other. They repel when North and North, or South and South are facing each other.

Answer:

A. nuclear fusion reactions

C. it's still hot from the big bang

Explanation:

The inside of the earth is hot due to some reasons. This heat provides the internal energy the drives processes within the earth interior. Here are some of the ways in which the heat has accumulated:

  • Nuclear reactions within the earth interior by fusion and other radioactive processes releases a large amount of heat.
  • Some heat accreted during the early formation of the earth and has not been lost till this day.
  • Heating due to friction

These are some of the sources of the earth's internal heat.
