If a track star runs down the runway in the high jump event faster, he will be able to jump to a greater height. This is explain

ed by the conservation of energy. Which statement best explains this idea? A) A faster runner creates more energy during their jump. B) A faster runner can apply a greater force than a slower runner. C) The upward push on the jumper is equal to his downward push on the ground. D) The kinetic energy before the jump is converted to potential during the jump.

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a track star is given by the expression \frac{1}{2} mv^2, where m is the mass of track star and v is the velocity of track star.

The potential energy is given by the expression mgh , where h is the height of track star and g is acceleration due to gravity value.

By energy conservation theory, energy can neither be created or destroyed.

So a running track stars kinetic energy is converted to potential energy when he jumps.

        \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh

                 h=\frac{v^2}{g}

                        h ∝ v^2

 So height reached increases when velocity of speed star increases.

 So the answer is the kinetic energy before the jump is converted to potential during the jump.

Does light travel faster through water or glass?
Len [333]

Answer: The refractive index or n shows the relationship between c and the speed v when light travels through a material. The equation is n=c/v. In water, the refractive index is 1.3 and in glass, it is 1.5. Therefore, light travels faster through water, than it travels through glass.

What is the centripetal force that holds planets in orbit?
Fudgin [204]
<h2>Answer: Gravity force</h2>

If we approximate the orbit of the planets around the Sun to circular orbits with a uniform circular motion, where the velocity \vec{V} is a vector, whose direction is perpendicular to the radius r of the trajectory; the acceleration \vec{a} is directed towards the center of the circumference (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).  

Now, according to Newton's 2nd law, the force \vec{F} is directly proportional and in the same direction as the acceleration:  

\vec{F}=m.\vec{a}  

Therefore the net force resulting from the movement of a planet orbiting the Sun points towards the center of the circle, this is called Centripetal Force which is a central force that in this case is equal to the gravity force.

A 2,000-kilogram car uses a braking force of 12,000 Newton to stop in 5 seconds. What is its initial speed of the car?
AnnZ [28]
First, solve for the acceleration of the car. You know the mass of the car and the braking force, so you can use the equation Force = Mass x Acceleration. This gives you 12,000 = 2,000 x A. Divide 12,000 by 2,000 to find the acceleration equal to 6 m/s^2. This is the rate that the car is slowing down at. Velocity is equal to accleration x time (rate x time), so you multiply 6 by the time of 5 seconds. This leaves you with a velocity of 30 m/s or about 67.1 mph.

Can a body having zero velocity move with uniform speed? Give an example.
GaryK [48]
Sure. Body can move with uniform speed, and having zero velocity, when velocity becomes zero due to change in direction over time t.

For Example. - An Object is moving with uniform speed in a circular path, then after one complete revolution, it's velocity is zero, but speed still remains uniform 

Hope this helps!

Between 1911 and 1990, the top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of 1.2 mm/y.T
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Angular speed, \omega=6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s

Explanation:

It is given that,    

The top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of, v = 1.2 mm/yr

1\ mm/yr=3.171\times 10^{-11}\ m/s

Velocity, v=3.80\times 10^{-11}\ m/s

Height of the tower, h = 55 m

The height of the tower is equivalent to the radius. Let \omega is the angular speed of the tower’s top about its base. The relation between the angular speed and the angular speed is given by :

v=r\omega

\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}

\omega=\dfrac{3.80\times 10^{-11}\ m/s}{55\ m}

\omega=6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s

So, the average angular speed of the tower’s top about its base is 6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
