Answer:

As it goes down, <u>weight</u> does work on the toboggan and it ends up converting <u>gravitational potential</u> energy to <u>kinetic</u> energy.

1. weight

2. <u>gravitational potential</u> energy to <u>kinetic</u> energy.

Explanation:

As it goes down, <u>weight</u> does work on the toboggan and it ends up converting <u>gravitational potential</u> energy to <u>kinetic</u> energy.

work done by toboggan = weight × distance

W = mg and the distance is down the icy slope

By using law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be conserve from one form to another in a closed system.

Toboggan converts gravitational potential energy (mgh) to kinetic energy(¹/₂mv²)

Our Sun shines bright with a luminosity of 3.828 x 1025 Watt. Her energies
kifflom [539]

Answer:

a)   E = 1.58 10²¹ J , b) Oil = 4,236 107 liter ,  e)   T = 54.3 C

Explanation:

a) To calculate the energy that reaches Earth, let us combine that the power emitted by the Sun is distributed uniformly on a spherical surface

     I = P / A

     A = 4π r²

in this case the radius of the sphere is the distance from the Sun to Earth r = 1.5 10¹¹ m

     I = P / A

     I = P / 4π r²

let's calculate

     I = 3,828 10²⁵/4 pi (1.5 10¹¹)²

     I = 1.3539 10²W / m² = 135.4 W / m2

the energy that reaches the disk of the Earth is

    E = I A

the area of ​​a disc

    A = π r²

    E = I π r²

where r is the radius of the Earth 6.37 10⁶ m

     E = 135.4 π(6.37 10⁶)

     E = 1,726 10¹⁶ W

This is the energy per unit of time that reaches Earth

    t = 1 dai (24h / 1day) (3600s / 1h) = 86400 s

     

    E = 1,826 10¹⁶ 86400

     E = 1.58 10²¹ J

b) for this part we can use a direct proportions rule

      Oil = 1.58 10²¹ (1 / 37.3 10⁶)

      Oil = 4,236 10⁷ liter

c) to silence the surface temperature of the Earth we use the Stefan-Bolztman Law

       P = σ A e T⁴

       T = \sqrt[4]{P/Ae}

nos indicate the refect, therefore the amount of absorbencies

       P_absorbed = 0.7 P

let's calculate

       T = REA (0.7 1.58 1021 / [pi (6.37 106) 2 1)

       T = RER (8,676 106)

       T = 54.3 C

b) Among the other factors that must be taken into account is the greenhouse effect, due to the absorption of gases from the atmosphere

Which statement best summarizes the central idea of “Applications of Newton’s Laws”?
Shkiper50 [21]

 

Newton's three forces, normal, tension and friction, are present in a surprising number of physical situations

Newton's Laws, that describe the relationship between an obejct and the forces acting upon it, apply in almost every physical situation, from quantum mechanics to electricity.

The correct answer is:

Newton’s laws can explain the forces that occur between objects every day

A particle with a mass of 0.500 kg is attached to a horizontal spring with a force constant of 50.0 N/m. At the moment t = 0, th
svp [43]

a) x(t)=2.0 sin (10 t) [m]

The equation which gives the position of a simple harmonic oscillator is:

x(t)= A sin (\omega t)

where

A is the amplitude

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} is the angular frequency, with k being the spring constant and m the mass

t is the time

Let's start by calculating the angular frequency:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{50.0 N/m}{0.500 kg}}=10 rad/s

The amplitude, A, can be found from the maximum velocity of the spring:

v_{max}=\omega A\\A=\frac{v_{max}}{\omega}=\frac{20.0 m/s}{10 rad/s}=2 m

So, the equation of motion is

x(t)= 2.0 sin (10 t) [m]

b)  t=0.10 s, t=0.52 s

The potential energy is given by:

U(x)=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

While the kinetic energy is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

The velocity as a function of time t is:

v(t)=v_{max} cos(\omega t)

The problem asks as the time t at which U=3K, so we have:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{3}{2}mv^2\\kx^2 = 3mv^2\\k (A sin (\omega t))^2 = 3m (\omega A cos(\omega t))^2\\(tan(\omega t))^2=\frac{3m\omega^2}{k}

However, \frac{m}{k}=\frac{1}{\omega^2}, so we have

(tan(\omega t))^2=\frac{3\omega^2}{\omega^2}=3\\tan(\omega t)=\pm \sqrt{3}\\

with two solutions:

\omega t= \frac{\pi}{3}\\t=\frac{\pi}{3\omega}=\frac{\pi}{3(10 rad/s)}=0.10 s

\omega t= \frac{5\pi}{3}\\t=\frac{5\pi}{3\omega}=\frac{5\pi}{3(10 rad/s)}=0.52 s

c) 3 seconds.

When x=0, the equation of motion is:

0=A sin (\omega t)

so, t=0.

When x=1.00 m, the equation of motion is:

1=A sin(\omega t)\\sin(\omega t)=\frac{1}{A}=\frac{1}{2}\\\omega t= 30\\t=\frac{30}{\omega}=\frac{30}{10 rad/s}=3 s

So, the time needed is 3 seconds.

d) 0.097 m

The period of the oscillator in this problem is:

T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\pi}{10 rad/s}=0.628 s

The period of a pendulum is:

T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where L is the length of the pendulum. By using T=0.628 s, we find

L=\frac{T^2g}{(2\pi)^2}=\frac{(0.628 s)^2(9.8 m/s^2)}{(2\pi)^2}=0.097 m

A 72.9-kg base runner begins his slide into second base when moving at a speed of 4.02 m/s. The coefficient of friction between
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

-589.05 J

Explanation:

Using work-kinetic energy theorem, the work done by friction = kinetic energy change of the base runner

So, W = ΔK

W = 1/2m(v₁² - v₀²) where m = mass of base runner = 72.9 kg, v₀ = initial speed of base runner = 4.02 m/s and v₁ = final speed of base runner = 0 m/s(since he stops as he reaches home base)

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

W = 1/2m(v₁² - v₀²)

W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg((0 m/s)² - (4.02 m/s)²)

W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg(0 m²/s² - 16.1604 m²/s²)

W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg(-16.1604 m²/s²)

W = 1/2 × (-1178.09316 kgm²/s²)

W = -589.04658 kgm²/s²

W = -589.047 J

W ≅ -589.05 J

a wave travels at a speed of 793 m/s and has a wavelength of 2.3 meters. calculate the frequency of the wave​
Savatey [412]

Answer:

344.8 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where

v is the speed of the wave

\lambda is its wavelength

Here we have

v = 793 m/s

\lambda=2.3 m

Substituting into the equation, we find

f=\frac{793 m/s}{2.3 m}=344.8 Hz
