A skateboarder wants to cross a large playground and notices that there are large shapes painted on its asphalt surface. One sha

pe is a large circle that covers the entire playground. Inscribed in that circle is a square, with one point at the skateboarder’s feet and the other at his destination. The surface is rough and, therefore, friction is present. What path does he follow in order to minimize the work done by nonconservative forces?

<h2>Diagonal of circle </h2>

Explanation:

As the skateboarder wants to cross the play ground . The surface is rough .

As we know , the force of friction is non-conservative force . Thus work is required against this force .

We have formula:

work done = Force x distance (in one direction )

Te force applied cannot be changed , so he is to decrease the distance .

In case of circle , diameter is the minimum distance . Thus he is supposed to move along it .

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The change  in momentum is  \Delta p =   kg \cdot m/s      

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

       The mass of the probe is  m = 170 kg

       The location of the prob at time t = 22.9 s is  A  =

       The  momentum at time  t = 22.9 s is  p = < 51000, -7000, 0> kg m/s

        The net force on the probe is  F =  N

Generally the change in momentum is mathematically represented as

              \Delta p = F * \Delta t

The initial time is   22.6 s

 The final time  is  22.9 s

             Substituting values  

           \Delta p =  * (22.9 - 22.6)

            \Delta p =  * (0.3)  

              \Delta p =   kg \cdot m/s

From largest to smallest they are: Universe, galaxy, solar system, star, planet, moon and asteroid.

Explanation:Let's describe them from smallest to largest. In fact the size order is not exact as there are exceptions.An asteroid is a rocky body which lies in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They are typically quite small object. The largest asteroid Ceres has been reclassified as a dwarf planet.A moon is typically a rocky body which is in orbit around a planet. Some moons such as our Moon are quite large and are typically bigger than asteroid. Some moons can actually be smaller than some asteroids.A planet is a nearly spherical body which is in orbit around the Sun. Planets are larger than moons.A star is what planets orbit around. It is the source of light and heat. Our Sun is a star which is many times bigger than all of the planets.A solar system is a star and all of its planets, asteroids, comets and other bodies. It is significantly bigger than a star.A galaxy, such as our Milky Way Galaxy, is a collection of solar systems orbiting around a central core. Most galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their centres.Galaxies also form clusters which are large scale structures.The universe is everything. It contains billions of galaxies. Lots of information RIGHT!!!!

Each second, 1250 m3 of water passes over a waterfall 150 m high. Three-fourths of the kinetic energy gained by the water in fal
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The generator produces electrical energy at a rate of 1378125000 J per second.

Explanation:

volume of water falling each second is 1250 m^{3}

height through which it falls, h is 150 m

mass of 1 m^{3} of water is 1000 kg

⇒mass of 1250 m^{3} of water, m = 1250×1000 = 1250000 kg

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 \frac{m}{sec^{2} }

in falling through 150 m in each second, by Work-Energy Theorem:

Kinetic Energy(KE) gained by it = Potential Energy(PE) lost by it

⇒KE = mgh

        = 1250000×9.8×150 J

        = 1837500000 J

Electrical Energy = \frac{3}{4}(KE)

                            = \frac{3}{4}×1837500000

                            = <u>1378125000 J per second</u>
