The mechanical energy isn't conserved. Some energy is lost to friction.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The mechanical energy is defined as the energy of a body which it achieves by virtue of its position and velocity. The mechanical energy are of two types - potential energy and kinetic energy. The potential energy is the energy of the body which it achieves by means of its relative position and is directly proportional to the height of the body from its relative plane. Whereas the kinetic energy of the body is achieved by virtue of its velocity and is directly proportional to the square of velocity of the body.

As the mountaineer is skiing down the slope of a mountain, the potential energy of the person is gradually changing into his kinetic energy. Had it been in an ideal situation, the potential energy lost would have been just equal to the kinetic energy gained by the person. But there's friction which opposes the speed of the body and reduces the velocity. Thus the kinetic energy will be lost to some extent and the energy won't be conserved.

Constant Acceleration Kinematics: Car A is traveling at 22.0 m/s and car B at 29.0 m/s. Car A is 300 m behind car B when the dri

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The taken is $t_A = 19.0 \ s$

Explanation:

Frm the question we are told that

The speed of car A is $v_A = 22 \ m/s$

The speed of car B is $v_B = 29.0 \ m/s$

The distance of car B from A is $d = 300 \ m$

The acceleration of car A is $a_A = 2.40 \ m/s^2$

For A to overtake B

The distance traveled by car B = The distance traveled by car A - 300m

Now the this distance traveled by car B before it is overtaken by A is

$d = v_B * t_A$

Where $t_B$ is the time taken by car B

Now this can also be represented as using equation of motion as

$d = v_A t_A + \frac{1}{2}a_A t_A^2 - 300$

Now substituting values

$d = 22t_A + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

Equating the both d

$v_B * t_A = 22t_A + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

substituting values

$29 * t_A = 22t_A + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

$7 t_A = \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300$

$7 t_A =1.2 t_A^2 - 300$

$1.2 t_A^2 - 7 t_A - 300 = 0$

Solving this using quadratic formula we have that

$t_A = 19.0 \ s$

Precautions to be taken for the displacement method

finlep [7]

Volume by Displacement. The displacement method (submersion, or dunking method) can be used to accurately measure the volume of the human body and other oddly shaped objects by measuring the volume of fluid displaced when the object is submerged.

The following precautions should be taken very observantly:-

The line of sight must be perpendicular to measuring scale to avoid parallax error. Formation of bubbles inside the cylinder should be completely avoided. Any bubbles within leads to wrong measurements.
