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

Manuel is holding a 5 kg box. How much force us the box exerting on him? in what direction
Free_Kalibri [48]
It will be 49 Newtons of force in the down direction. To find the force in newtons, you multiply the mass (5 kg) by the gravity (which if 9.8).

A ball bounced by a basketball player on the floor bounces back up at her. Newton's First Law Newton's Second Law Newton's Third
taurus [48]

Answer:

Newton's Third Law of Motion

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law of Motion which states that, for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

This ultimately implies that, in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.

In this scenario, a ball bounced by a basketball player on the floor bounces back up at her.

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, the statement above simply means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects i.e the ball and floor. The size of the force on the ball equals the size of the force on the floor. These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion.

Hence, the ball bounced by the basketball player on the floor would bounce back in equal magnitude.

How many atoms are represented by one formula unit of aluminum sulfite, al2(so3)3?
ratelena [41]
Formula unit is the empirical formula of an ionic or a covalent compound. It is the chemical formula that gives the proportions of the elements present in a certain compound however it does not give the actual numbers or the arrangement of the atoms. For this case, there are 14 atoms of different elements that is involved in the compound.
