erastova [34]3 years ago

Answer:

About 6.26m/s

Explanation:

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Divide both sides by mass:

gh=\dfrac{1}{2}v^2

Since the point of equality of kinetic and potential energy will be halfway down the cliff, height will be 4/2=2 meters.

(9.8)(2)=\dfrac{1}{2}v^2 \\\\v^2=39.4 \\\\v\approx 6.26m/s

Hope this helps!

2. A person applies a force of 66 N to a fridge as they push it across the length of a standard tennis court. So far today, the
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

P=39.2205\, watt

E=374.948 \,cal

Explanation:

Given that:

  • force applied, F=66\,N
  • displacement, s=23.77\,m (length of a tennis court)
  • time taken for pushing, t = 40 s

Since, work is given by:

W=F.s

W=66\times 23.77

W=1568.82\,J

Now, power is given as:

P=\frac{W}{t}

P=\frac{1568.82}{40}

P=39.2205 \,watt

Calories consumed is:

E= 1568.82\times 0.239

E=374.948\, cal

A car enters a horizontal, curved roadbed of radius 50 m. the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the roadbed i
UkoKoshka [18]
Previous results tell us the speed (v) is given in terms of the coefficient of friction (k) and the radius of the curve (r) as
  v = √(kgr)
  v = √(0.20·9.8 m/s²·50 m)
  = 7√2 m/s ≈ 9.90 m/s

n electromagnetic wave in vacuum has an electric field amplitude of 611 V/m. Calculate the amplitude of the corresponding magnet
enot [183]

Answer:

The  corresponding  magnetic field is  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The electric field amplitude is  E_o   =  611\  V/m

   

Generally the  magnetic  field amplitude is  mathematically represented as

              B_o  =  \frac{E_o }{c }

Where c is the speed of light with a constant value

         c = 3.0 *0^{8} \ m/s

So  

        B_o   =  \frac{611 }{3.0*10^{8}}

         B_o   =  2.0 4 *10^{-6} \  Vm^{-2} s

Since 1  T  is  equivalent to  V  m^{-2} \cdot  s

         B_o  =  2.0 4 *10^{-6} \ T
