Answer:

Power, P = 924.15 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the ramp, l = 12 m

Mass of the person, m = 55.8 kg

Angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal, $\theta=25^{\circ}$

Time, t = 3 s

Let h is the height of the hill from the horizontal,

$h=l\ sin\theta$

$h=12\times \ sin(25)$

h = 5.07 m

Let P is the power output necessary for a person to run up long hill side as :

$P=\dfrac{E}{t}$

$P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}$

$P=\dfrac{55.8\times 9.8\times 5.07}{3}$

P = 924.15 watts

So, the minimum average power output necessary for a person to run up is 924.15 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

Express force in terms of base units

MariettaO [177]

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

<u></u>

<u>Force = kgm/s² ⟶ Newton</u>

<h2><u>Explanation:</u></h2>

<u></u>

According to the formula we've learnt,

Force = mass × acceleration.

To find force in terms of base units, we must first identify the base SI units of mass & acceleration.

Base SI unit of mass = kg (kilogram)

Base SI unit of acceleration = m/s² (meter per second squared)

So, the base unit of force is,

Force = mass × acceleration.

Force = kg × m/s²

<u>Force = kgm/s² ⟶ Newton</u>

A 95kg fullback (football player for those not into sports) moving south with a speed of 5.0 m/s has a perfectly inelastic colli

Lunna [17]

Answer:

a. $v=3.11mls$ , $29.4^{0}$

b. $K.E =-697.8J$

Explanation:

To calculate the values in the question, a deep understanding of perfect inelastic collision is important.

When two bodies undergo inelastic collision, two important parameters must be well understood i.e

Momentum: the momentum is always conserved in perfectly inelastic collision. i.e the total momentum after collision is the sum of the individual momentum before collision

Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy is not conserved due to dissipative force.

a.To calculate the velocity, we first find the total momentum before collision

Momentum of player 1 $p_{1} =mv=95kg*5m/s\\p_{1} =475kgm/s\\$

Momentum of player 2 $p_{2} =mv=90kg*3m/s\\p_{1} =270kgm/s\\$

Hence the total momentum $p_{12}=p_{1}+p_{2}\\$

Note, since the direction of movement before collision is due south and due north respectively we have to represent the velocity using the rectangular coordinate

Hence $p_{12}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v=p_{1}i+p_{2}j\\$

$(95+90)v=475i+270j\\$

$v=2.57i+1.45j\\$

solving for the resultant velocity, we have

$v=\sqrt{2.75^{2} +1.45^{2}}\\ v=3.11mls$

To calculate the direction of movement, we have

$\alpha =tan^{-1}=\frac{v_{j} }{v_{i}}\\ \alpha =tan^{-1}=\frac{1.45}{2.57}\\\alpha =29.4^{0}$

b. to calculate the decrease in total kinetic energy, before collision, the total kinetic was

$K.E_{initial} =\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}.\\K.E_{initial} =((1/2)*95*5^{2})+((1/2)*90*3^{2})\\K.E_{initial} =1187.5+405\\K.E_{initial} =1592.5J\\$

And the final kinetic energy after collision is

$K.E_{final} =\frac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2} )v^{2}\\ K.E_{final} =\frac{1}{2}(95+90)* 3.11^{2}\\ K.E_{final} =894.7J$

The decrease in Kinetic energy is

$K.E =K.E_{final}- K.E_{initial}=894.7-1592.5$

$K.E =-697.8J$

The negative sign indicate a decrease in Kinetic energy

Explain why the atomic mass of an element is weighted average mass

madreJ [45]

Explanation:

The mass written on the periodic table is an average atomic mass taken from all known isotopes of an element. This average is a weighted average, meaning the isotope's relative abundance changes its impact on the final average. The reason this is done is because there is no set mass for an element.
