Answer:

The loss in mechanical energy is 668.25 J

Explanation:

As per the question:

Mass of the base runner, m = 66 kg

Velocity of the runner, v = 4.5 m/s

Coefficient of friction, \mu = 0.70

Now,

The mechanical energy lost due to friction is provided by the work done in the form of the Kinetic energy of the runner:

Work done, W = Kinetic enrgy of the runner

W = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

W = \frac{1}{2}\tiems 66\times (4.5)^{2} = 668.25 J

Work done must be - 668.25 J as the runner slows down.

A student watches as a trash can lid moves across a yard. Which of these could have caused the trash can lid to move?
omeli [17]

Answer:

wind energy

Explanation:

Wind energy can be defined as a form of a solar energy. It is generated by the immense force of the wind that blows in an area. Wind energy is a useful energy and is mostly used to generate electricity. It is clean source of energy.

In the context, trash can lid is being blown away by the wind energy and it is seen moving across the yard. The energy of the wind forces the lid of the trash can to move from one place to another against friction. Thus, wind energy caused the trash can lid to move across the yard as seen by a student.

Design a roller coaster.
Zarrin [17]
1. Because the cart on the coaster must get all of its power from this first hill. 
2. It must be smaller because if it was bigger the cart would roll backwards without enough power.
3. an upward climb that is too steep.

I answered the first 3 but try to do the last two by yourself. They are very easy once you figure it out. Try searching the definition of the main points. :)

Flura [38]
<span>The answer is "0.5N".


According to the question;
P1=P2
so,
F1/A1= F2/A2

P=(F/A)

A1=100mm</span>²
<span>
F1= 10N

A2= 5mm</span>²
<span>
F2= ? 

F2= ((F1 x A2)/A1)
= ((10 x 5) /100)

=50/100

=0.5N</span>
