A 66-kg base runner begins his slide into second base when he is moving at a speed of 3.4 m/s. The coefficient of friction betwe

en his clothes and Earth is 0.70. He slides so that his speed is zero just as he reaches the base(a) How much mechanical energy is lost due to friction acting on the runner. (b) How far does he slide?

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

When energy is transferred to air, what happens to the particles of air? (1 point) They move slower. They move faster. They cool
zubka84 [21]
This question is a critical question. as we all know, when energy is added to any state of water, the particles move faster. and when energy is taken away from any state of water, the particles reduce speed. same with the particles of air. when energy is added; they move faster. when energy is removed; they move slower. so the answer is they move faster

artcher [175]

Answer:

F=m*g is the formula and the answer is 19,620 kg

Explanation:

Since the formula is F=m*g and Earth's gravity is 9.81 m/s^2 all you need to do is multiply 2,000 by 9.81

Based on relative bond strengths, classify these reactions as endothermic (energy absorbed) or exothermic (energy released)
cluponka [151]
<span>Exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy. This reaction releases heat energy or light . In an endotermic reaction energy is used. Enthaply is the heat energy change , delta H. If the sum of the enthalpies of the reactans is greater than the products the reaction is exothermic. If the products side has a larger enthaply than the process is endothermic. So, if delta H is negative then the process is exothermic. If delta H is positive, than the process is endothermic. Exothermic are: A+BC -> AB+C A2+B2 -> 2AB Endothermic are:AB+C -> AC+B A2 + C2 -> 2AC B2+C2 -> 2BC</span>
