A well maintained bicycle is key.  Oil the chain so that it's less likely to get hung up.  It will have a smoother flow.  Another could be in their clothing.  Notice they usually wear good fitting clothing?  I believe the more from fitting pants help clothing friction.  Another way could be keeping the tires well inflated so that the tires aren't dragging.  Rolling along smoothly on properly inflated tires seems like a must.  Get a few more answers along with mine, so that you have a variety to choose from.

In a Broadway performance, an 84.5-kg actor swings from a R = 4.30-m-long cable that is horizontal when he starts. At the bottom
Arada [10]

Answer:

1.57772 m

Explanation:

M = Mass of actor = 84.5 kg

m = Mass of costar = 55 kg

v = Velocity of costar

V  = Velocity of actor

h_i = Intial height of actor = 4.3 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

As the energy of the system is conserved

\frac{1}{2}MV^2=Mgh_i\\\Rightarrow V=\sqrt{2gh_i}\\\Rightarrow V=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 4.3}\\\Rightarrow V=9.18509\ m/s

As the linear momentum is conserved

MV=(m+M)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{MV}{m+M}\\\Rightarrow V=\frac{84.5\times 9.18509}{84.5+55}\\\Rightarrow v=5.56372\ m/s

Applying conservation of energy again

\frac{1}{2}(m+M)v^2=(m+M)gh_f\\\Rightarrow h_f=\frac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow h_f=\frac{5.56372^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h_f=1.57772\ m

The maximum height they reach is 1.57772 m

A car's bumper is designed to withstand a 5.04 km/h (1.4-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of t
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

the magnitude of the average force on the bumper is 3189.8 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

In terms of force and displacement, work done is;

W =F^> × x^>

W = Fxcos\theta    ------- let this be equation 1

where F is force applied, x is displacement and θ is angle between force and displacement.

Now, since the displacement of the bumper and force acting on it is in the same direction,

hence, θ = 0°

we substitute into equation 1

W = Fxcos( 0° )

W = Fx ------- let this be equation 2

Now, using work energy theorem,

total work done on the system is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system.

W_{net = ΔKE

= \frac{1}{2}mv² -  \frac{1}{2}mu² --------- let this be equation 3

where m is mass of object, v is final velocity, u is initial velocity.

from equation 2 and 3

Fx = \frac{1}{2}mv² -  \frac{1}{2}mu²

we make F, the subject of formula

F = \frac{m}{2x}( v² - u² )

given that mass of car m = 830 kg, x = 0.255 m, v = 0 m/s, and u = 1.4 m/s

so we substitute

F = \frac{830}{(2)(0.255)}( (0)² - (1.4)² )

F = 1627.45098 ( 0 - 1.96 )

F = 1627.45098 ( - 1.96 )

F = -3189.8 N

The negative sign indicates that the direction of the force was in opposite compare to the direction of the velocity of the car.

Therefore, the magnitude of the average force on the bumper is 3189.8 N

Which of the following accurately shows how to calculate the weight of a 20kg object
forsale [732]
The answer to your question is "20kgx9.8m/s" because weight is the force an object is exerting on another object, and the formula used to calculate force is <em>Force = Mass * Acceleration</em>.
