Answer:

a ) = 381.48 J

b )=  84.25 cm

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the runner

= 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 66 x 3.4²

= 381.48 J

The final kinetic energy of the runner is zero .

Loss of mechanical energy

= 381.48 J

This  loss in  mechanical energy is due to action of frictional force .

b )

Let s be the distance of slide

deceleration due to frictional force

= μmg/m

.7 x 66 x 9.8 / 66

a = - 6.86 m s⁻¹

v² = u² - 2 a s

0 = 3.4² - 2x6.86 s

s = 3.4² / 2x6.86

= .8425 m

84.25 cm

A kettle of water contains 1.2 kg of water. Calculate how much energy is required to hear it from water at 10 degrees to its boi
Darya [45]

Answer:

450 kJ

Explanation:

Q = mCΔT

where Q is heat (energy),

m is mass,

C is specific heat capacity,

and ΔT is the temperature change.

Q = (1.2 kg) (4180 J/kg/°C) (100°C − 10°C)

Q = 451,440 J

Q ≈ 450 kJ

Two positive charges of 6 µC are separated by a distance of 50 cm in air. What is the electric field strength at the midpoint of
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The electric field strength at the midpoint of the line joining the charges is zero (0)

Explanation:

Given that the two charges are both positive (same charge) and are equal in magnitude that is 6uC. The electric field strength at the midpoint of the line joining the two charges will be equal and opposite in magnitude, therefore they will cancel each other out and the electric field strength at this point will be equal to zero.
