Answer:

P = 14700 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a piano, m = 75 kg

It is delivered throughout the window of a 6th story apartment which is 20 m above the ground.

We need to find the potential energy of the piano. It is given by :

P = mgh

Putting all the values,

P = 75 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 20 m

P = 14700 J

So, the potential energy of the piano is 14700 J.

A body is traveling at 5.0 m/s along the positive direction of an x axis; no net force acts on the body. An internal explosion s

loris [4]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy.

By definition kinetic energy is defined as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Where,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

On the other hand we have the conservation of the moment, which for this case would be defined as

$m*V_i = m_1V_1+m_2V_2$

Here,

m = Total mass (8Kg at this case)

$m_1=m_2 =$ Mass each part

$V_i =$ Initial velocity

$V_2 =$ Final velocity particle 2

$V_1 =$ Final velocity particle 1

The initial kinetic energy would be given by,

$KE_i=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2}8*5^2$

$KE_i = 100J$

In the end the energy increased 100J, that is,

$KE_f = KE_i KE_{increased}$

$KE_f = 100+100 = 200J$

By conservation of the moment then,

$m*V_i = m_1V_1+m_2V_2$

Replacing we have,

$(8)*5 = 4*V_1+4*V_2$

$40 = 4(V_1+V_2)$

$V_1+V_2 = 10$

$V_2 = 10-V_1$ (1)

In the final point the cinematic energy of EACH particle would be given by

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2}4*(V_1^2+V_2^2)$

$200J=\frac{1}{2}4*(V_1^2+V_2^2)$ (2)

So we have a system of 2x2 equations

$V_2 = 10-V_1$

$200J=\frac{1}{2}4*(V_1^2+V_2^2)$

Replacing (1) in (2) and solving we have to,

200J=\frac{1}{2}4*(V_1^2+(10-V_1)^2)

PART A: $V_1 = 10m/s$

Then replacing in (1) we have that

PART B: $V_2 = 0m/s$

How does the athlete, in your sport, control their speed?

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

What separates athletes from their competitors is the word itself, separation — gaining it on the offensive side, or taking it away on the defensive side (There are exceptions of course, one being the contest of offensive linemen and defensive linemen in football where the inverse is true). Speed, strength, and power are great ways to create separation in sports. However, speed, strength, and power all have genetic ceilings
