Answer:

Student’s(50 kg) gravitational potential energy if the cliff is 80 m high = 39.2 kJ

Explanation:

   Potential energy is given by the expression, PE =mgh, m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity value and h is the height.

 Here mass of student, m = 50 kilogram

           Height of cliff , h = 80 meter

           Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

 Potential energy, PE = 50 * 9.8 * 80 = 39200 J

                                    = 39.2 kJ

Student’s(50 kg) gravitational potential energy if the cliff is 80 m high = 39.2 kJ

The density of ice is 0.93 g/cm3. what is the volume, in cm3, of a block of ice whose mass is 5.00 kg? remember to select an ans
serious [3.7K]

The Volume of the ice block is 5376.344 cm^3.

The density of a material is define as the mass per unit volume.

Here, the density of ice given is 0.93 g/cm^3

Mass of the ice block  given is 5 kg or 5000 g

Now calculate the volume of the ice block

density=mass/volume

0.93=5000/Volume

Volume =5376.344 cm^3

Therefore the volume of  ice block is 5376.344 cm^3

A circular curve of radius 150 m is banked at an angle of 15 degrees. A 750-kg car negotiates the curve at 85.0 km/h without ski
Crazy boy [7]

Answer: a) 7.1 * 10^3 N; b) -880 N directed out of the curve.

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the Newton laws, then we have the following:

Pcos 15°-N=0

Psin15°-f= m*ac

from the first we obtain N, the normal force

N=750Kg*9.8* cos (15°)= 7.1 *10^3 N

Then to calculate the frictional force (f) we can use the second equation

f=P sin (15°) -m*ac where ac is the centripetal acceletarion which is equal to v^2/r

f= 750 *9.8 sin(15°)-750*(85*1000/3600)^2/150= -880 N
