A 66-kg base runner begins his slide into second base when he is moving at a speed of 4.5 m/s. The coefficient of friction betwe

en his clothes and Earth is 0.70. He slides so that his speed is zero just as he reaches the base. (a) How much mechanical energy is lost due to friction acting on the runner?

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.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

The apple also exerts an equal and opposite force on the earth but earth does not move because the mass of apple is very small,due to which the gravitational force produces a large acceleration in it (a=F/m) and we can see the apple falling towards the earth but the mass of earth is very large,the same gravitational .

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Assuming that the length of the magnet is much smaller than the separation between it and the charge. As a result of magnetic interaction (i.e., ignore pure Coulomb forces) between the charge and the bar magnet, the magnet will not experience any torque at all - option A

Explanation:

Assuming that the length of the magnet is much smaller than the separation between it and the charge. As a result of magnetic interaction (i.e., ignore pure Coulomb forces) between the charge and the bar magnet, the magnet will not experience any torque at all; the reason being that: no magnetic field is being produced by a charge that is static. Only a moving charge can produce a magnetic effect. And the magnet can not have any torque due to its own magnetic lines of force.

A father racing his son has 1/2 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/3 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.4 m
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: a) 0.78 m/s b) 1.57 m/s

Explanation:

M = father's mass


m = son's mass = M/3


V = father's initial speed


v = son's initial speed

(1/2)MV^2 = (1/2)*(1/2)*m v^2


M*V^2 = (1/2)(M/3)v^2


V^2/v^2 = 1/4


V = v/2

Second equation:


(1/2)M*(V + 1.4)^2 = (1/2)m*v^2


= (1/2)*(M/3)*(3V)^2


cancel out the M's and (1/2)'s


(V + 1.4)^2 = 3V^2


V^2 + 2.8V + 1.96 = 3V^2


V^2 -1.4V -0.98 = 0

V^2 = 0.98/0.4 = 2.45

V = 1.57
