At the top:

         Potential Energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

                                       = (30 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (3 meters)

                                       =      882 joules

At the bottom:

           Kinetic Energy  =  (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²

                                       = (1/2) x (30 kg) x (3 m/s)²

                                       =        (15 kg)  x  (9 m²/s²)

                                       =              135 joules .

He had  882 joules of potential energy at the top,
but only  135 joules of kinetic energy at the bottom.

Friction stole  (882 - 135) = 747 joules of his energy while he slid down.
The seat of his jeans must be pretty warm.

Which statement best describes the importance of joints in the roadways of Bridges ?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

c. Joints allow the roadway to expand and contract as cars put force on the bridge

Explanation:

The reasons why joints are allowed on roadway is to accommodate the contraction and expansion of the road as cars put force on them.

  • Most materials used in making roadways are susceptible to expansion and contraction.
  • When a measure of force is applied their length either increases or decreases depending on the type of force.
  • To accommodate these changes, joints are placed in roadways

S Five particles with equal negative charges -q are placed symmetrically around a circle of radius R. Calculate the electric pot
Scrat [10]

The four distinct charges' combined potentials make up the potential in the square's center. The amount of the charge and the distance from the charge both affect the potential caused by a point charge.

Therefore, the center's total potential is V=4V1=ks4 q.

<h3>What is a charge?</h3>

Due to the physical characteristic of electric charge, charged material experiences a force when it is exposed to an electromagnetic field. An object that has no net charge is said to be neutral. Classical electrodynamics is the name given to an earlier theory of the interactions of charged particles.

You can have positive or negative electric charges (commonly carried by protons and electrons respectively). opposing charges attract one another whereas similar charges repel one another.

Consider a 4-m-long, 4-m-wide, and 1.5-m-high above-the-ground swimming pool that is filled with water to the rim. (a) Determine
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

44100 N

Explanation:

Each wall will have dimension of 4 m x 1.5 m

Whole force will act on central point of wall situated at a depth of 1.5 /2 = .75m

pressure at CM = h d g , h = .75 , d ( density of water = 10³ )

pressure at CM = .75 x 10³ x 9.8

= 7350 N / m²

Total force on each wall

= pressure x area

= 7350 x 4 x 1.5

= 44100 N Ans

b ) If h = 1.5 x 2 = 3

Pressure = hdg

1.5 x 10³ x 9.8

= 14700 N / m²

Force

= pressure x area

14700 x 3 x 4

= 176400 N

Which is 4 times 44100 N

So force will quadruple.

It is so because both area and height have become twice.
