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

IrinaK [193]

Answer : F = 3.5\times10^{3}\ N

Explanation :

Given that

Radius of sphere r = 5.90\times 10^{-15}\ m

The distance between the centers of the two spheres is

r = 2\times 5.90\times 10^{-15}\ m

The charge of the sphere q = 46\times1.6\times10^{-19} C

The magnitude of the repulsive force between the charges pushing them a part is

Using coulomb law

F = \dfrac {kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}

F = \dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times (46\times1.6\times10^{-19})^{2}C^{2}}{2\times(5.90\times10^{-15})^{2}\ m^{2}}

F = 3501.3\ N

F = 3.5\times10^{3}\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

Car A hits car B (initially at rest and of equal mass) frombehind while going 35 m/s. Immediately after the collision, car Bmove
kolezko [41]

Answer:

The fraction of kinetic energy lost in the collision in term of the initial energy is 0.49.

Explanation:

As the final and initial velocities are known it is possible then the kinetic energy is possible to calculate for each instant.

By definition, the kinetic energy is:

k = 0.5*mV^2

Expressing the initial and final kinetic energy for cars A and B:

ki=0.5*maVa_{i}^2+0.5*mbVb_{i}^2

kf=0.5*maVa_{f}^2+0.5*mbVb_{f}^2

Since the masses are equals:

m=ma=mb

For the known velocities, the kinetics energies result:

ki=0.5*mVa_{i}^2

ki=0.5*m(35 m/s)^2=612.5m^2/s^2*m

kf=0.5*mbVb_{f}^2

kf=0.5*m(25 m/s)^2=312.5m^2/s^2*m

The lost energy in the collision is the difference between the initial and final kinectic energies:

kl=ki-kf

kl = 612.5m^2/s^2*m-312.5 m^2/s^2*m=300 m^2/s^2*m

Finally the relation between the lost and the initial kinetic energy:

kl/ki = 300 m^2/s^2 * m / 612.5 m^2/s^2 * m

kl/ki = 24/49=0.49

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

a. 4v

Explanation:

Alf moves with speed v

Alf travel during the same amount of time that is Δt = (1/4)s

v = (1/4)s /  Δt = s / 4 Δt

s / Δt  = 4 v

Beth travels a distance s during time Δt,

speed of Beth = s / Δt = 4 v .
