Use this scenario to answer the four following questions. A person is on a sled on top of a snow covered hill. The vertical dist

ance from the top of the hill to the bottom is 12 meters. The sled and the person riding it have a combined mass of 60 kg. To start, person is pushed. The initial velocity is 1 m/s. At the bottom of the hill, the sled and the person have a velocity of 10 m/s. Use g=9.8 m/s2 or g=10 m/s2 for the gravitational acceleration. What is the initial total mechanical energy of the person and their sled?

Answer:7086 J

Explanation:

Given

height of hill from ground(h)=12 m

combined mass of sled and man(m)=60 kg

initial velocity(u)=1 m/s

at bottom velocity(v)=10 m/s

Total mechanical energy of the person

E=Potential Energy+Kinetic Energy

E=mgh+\frac{mv^2}{2}

E=60\times 9.8\times 12+\frac{60\times 1^2}{2}

E=7056+30=7086 J

What type of change accurs when a substance stays the same
Thepotemich [5.8K]
This would be a physical change because it can change back to its original form. This is like ripping paper. You can piece it back together and it still is paper.

The opposite of this is chemical change. Chemical change means the product has been changed completely like burning paper. The paper has now been turned to ash and it's impossible to change this back to its original form.

A forklift pushes a box with a force of 500 N across the floor for a distance of 5.0 m, then turns around and pushes with the sa
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

5,000J

Explanation:

Work = Force x Distance

Distance back and forth is canceled out, so either the answer is + or -

5.0m + 5.0m = 10.0m

500N x 10.0m = 5,000J

Sam receives the kicked football on the 3 yd line and runs straight ahead toward the goal line before cutting to the right at th
Pie

Answer:

Distance: 21 yd, displacement: 15 yd, gain in the play: 12 yd

Explanation:

The distance travelled by Sam is just the sum of the length of each part of Sam's motion, regardless of the direction. Initially, Sam run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line, so (15-3)=12 yd. Then, he run also 9 yd to the right. Therefore, the total distance is

d = 12 + 9 = 21 yd

The displacement instead is a vector connecting the starting point with the final point of the motion. Sam run first 12 yd straight ahead and then 9 yd to the right; these two motions are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the displacement simply by using Pythagorean's theorem:

d=\sqrt{12^2+9^2}=15 yd

Finally, the yards gained by Sam in the play are simply given by the distance covered along the forward-backward direction only. Since Sam only run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line along this direction, then the gain in this play was

d = 15 - 3 = 12 yd
