Answer:
Explanation:
When a force hits something, an equal amount of force is exerted back on it.
If the temperature is increased the particles gain more kinetic energy or vibrate faster. This means that they move faster and take more space.
Answer:
The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.
Explanation:
In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)
(1)
Where:
,
- Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.
,
- Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.
- Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.
If we know that
,
,
and
, then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:





The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.
Answer:
Explanation:
a )
change in the gravitational potential energy of the bear-Earth system during the slide = mgh
= 45 x 9.8 x 11
= 4851 J
b )
kinetic energy of bear just before hitting the ground
= 1/2 m v²
= .5 x 45 x 5.8²
= 756.9 J
c ) If the average frictional force that acts on the sliding bear be F
negative work done by friction
= F x 11 J
then ,
4851 J - F x 11 = 756.9 J
F x 11 = 4851 J - 756.9 J
= 4094.1 J
F = 4094.1 / 11
= 372.2 N
