44. Belly-flop Bernie dives from atop a tall flagpole into a swimming pool below. His potential energy at the top is 10,000 J (r

elative to the surface of the pool). What is his kinetic energy when his potential energy is reduced to 1000 J

Answer:

9000 J

Explanation:

Potential energy at the top = 10,000 J

Final potential energy = 1000 J

use the conservation of mechanical energy

Potential energy at top + kinetic energy at top = potential energy at a point + kinetic energy at that point.

10000 + 0 = 1000 + kinetic energy

kinetic energy = 10000 - 1000

kinetic energy = 9000 J

Thus, the kinetic energy is 9000 J.

How do you calculate mass using Newton’s 2nd Law?
deff fn [24]
The 2nd Law says F=ma, where F is the force in Newtons, m is mass and a is acceleration.  Earth's gravity is an acceleration, 9.8m/s^2.  So you can solve the equation for mass, m=F/a, or m=F/9.8 where you've measured the force (weight) in Newtons.

Calculate the distance traveled by a projectile as a function of launch angle. Compare the distances for two projectiles launche
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

R = x_{max} = \frac{v^2\sin(2\theta)}{g}\\\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{\sin(2\theta_1}{\sin(2\theta_2}

Explanation:

Using kinematics equations:

\Delta x = v_{0x}t\\\Delta y = -\frac{1}{2}gt^2+v_{0y}t

Use \Delta y = 0 due to condition of distance traveled.

Solving second equation for time, there are two solutions. t=0 and

t=\frac{2v_{0y}}{g}

Use the expression in the first equation to have

R = \frac{2v^2 \cos\theta\sin\theta}{g}

Using trigonometric identities, you have the answer of the distance.

By doing the ratio for two different angles, you have the second answer. Due to sine function properties, the distances can be the same to complementary angles. Example, for 20° and 70°, the distance is the same.

As an interstellar cloud of hydrogen gas shrinks in size, its rate of rotation
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

INCREASES, BECAUSE ITS ANGULAR MOMENTUM IS CONSERVED.

Explanation: Interstellar cloud of Hydrogen is an accumulation of Hydrogen gas in the cloud.

As the Interstellar cloud of Hydrogen shrinks (reduces) in size,the rate of rotation of the shrinked Interstellar cloud Increases because its angular momentum is conserved. GASEOUS MOLECULES MAKE UP ABOUT 99% OF THE INTERSTELLAR CLOUD WITH HYDROGEN HAVING ABOUT 90% OF THE VOLUME OF GASES IN THE INTERSTELLAR CLOUD.

Why is it important for you to understand the basics of organ systems?
marissa [1.9K]
This question can have ALOT of answers but ill leave you with these summed up points and you can take what you need from it they are get right to the point! Sorry if they long paragraphs scare you lol




*You want to provide patients the best care possible. Most often your patients will have a disease. Diseases result when there is something abnormal in the anatomy and physiology of a structure. With a car, you can’t understand how to fix an engine if you don’t know how it works. The same is true with your patients. You can’t really understand how to treat them or why the treatment works, if you don’t understand how the effected body system normally functions.

*Patients will want to understand their diseases. In order to help them understand what is going wrong, you have to first understand how a particular organ is supposed to work. In addition, you will need to be able to explain these things to patients in a way that they can understand. If you don’t understand it well, you won’t be able to explain it. Your patient’s confidence in your ability will be at least partially determined by your ability to discuss what you are doing and why you are doing it. You will need to look up information if you are not sure.

*Organ systems are so interconnected that a disease in one system may result in a symptom in another system. Without seeing the normal interconnectedness, you cannot fully understand the disease.


*Success in an allied health field requires at least three things. First, you must have the personality to be able to support and help patients. Secondly, you must have the scientific and technical knowledge necessary to make the correct decisions regarding patient care. Thirdly, you must have the clinical skills necessary to implement this kno
