No matter what energy transformation we discuss, we know that no energy transfer is 100% efficient. You are about to enter a bic

ycle rave. You have trained extensively and eaten well to maximize your energy input throughout the bicycle race. You know that some of your kinetic energy will become wasted energy in the form of heat. What is the source of the heat energy and how can you minimize it to maximize the efficiency of your performance in the race? A) You are the source of the heat energy. You can minimize the heat energy but selecting the appropriate clothes to wear.
B) Air resistance is the source of he heat energy. You can minimize the air resistance by your position while riding the bicycle.
C) Friction is the source of the heat energy. You can minimize the friction by lubricating all appropriate parts and keeping the tires well inflated.
D) Kinetic energy is the source of the heat energy. You can reduce the production of heat energy but minimizing the energy you expend to race on the bicycle.

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Time of flight  A is greatest

Explanation:

Let u₁ , u₂, u₃ be their initial velocity and θ₁ , θ₂ and θ₃ be their angle of projection. They all achieve a common highest height of H.

So

H = u₁² sin²θ₁ /2g

H = u₂² sin²θ₂ /2g

H = u₃² sin²θ₃ /2g

On the basis of these equation we can write

u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂=u₃ sinθ₃

For maximum range we can write

D = u₁² sin2θ₁ /g

1.5 D = u₂² sin2θ₂ / g

2 D =u₃² sin2θ₃ / g

1.5 D / D = u₂² sin2θ₂ /u₁² sin2θ₁

1.5 = u₂ cosθ₂ /u₁ cosθ₁      ( since , u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂ )

u₂ cosθ₂ >u₁ cosθ₁

u₂ sinθ₂ < u₁ sinθ₁

2u₂ sinθ₂ / g < 2u₁ sinθ₁ /g

Time of flight B < Time of flight  A

Similarly we can prove

Time of flight C < Time of flight B

Hence Time of flight  A is greatest .

Why might a balloon, that is inflated almost to its capacity, pop or explode on an extremely warm day?
REY [17]
On an extremely warm day, the balloon might pop because gases expand the hotter they get, and due to its temperature it is likely to pop if it is, indeed, nearly, if not completely, filled to its capacity.  I hope this helps, have a nice day!

A 65 kg person jumps from a window to a fire net 18 m below, which stretches the net 1.1 m. Assume the net behaves as a simple s
posledela

Answer:

0.03167 m

1.52 m

Explanation:

x = Compression of net

h = Height of jump

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

The potential energy and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved

P_i=P_f+K_s\\\Rightarrow mgh_i=-mgx+\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow k=2mg\frac{h_i+x}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow k=2\times 65\times 9.81\frac{18+1.1}{1.1^2}\\\Rightarrow k=20130.76\ N/m

The spring constant of the net is 20130.76 N

From Hooke's Law

F=kx\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{F}{k}\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{65\times 9.81}{20130.76}\\\Rightarrow x=0.03167\ m

The net would strech 0.03167 m

If h = 35 m

From energy conservation

65\times 9.81\times (35+x)=\frac{1}{2}20130.76x^2\\\Rightarrow 10065.38x^2=637.65(35+x)\\\Rightarrow 35+x=15.785x^2\\\Rightarrow 15.785x^2-x-35=0\\\Rightarrow x^2-\frac{200x}{3157}-\frac{1000}{451}=0

Solving the above equation we get

x=\frac{-\left(-\frac{200}{3157}\right)+\sqrt{\left(-\frac{200}{3157}\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-\frac{1000}{451}\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}, \frac{-\left(-\frac{200}{3157}\right)-\sqrt{\left(-\frac{200}{3157}\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-\frac{1000}{451}\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}\\\Rightarrow x=1.52, -1.45

The compression of the net is 1.52 m

1. What layer of the Earth is<br> flowing, solid and plastic?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The mantle

Explanation:

The mantle is a plastic solid of varying densities which allow convection currents to flow molten rock towards the earth's surface resulting in volcanic activity, tectonic plate movement, earthquakes, and movement of continents.
