A 45 kg bear slides, from rest, 11 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 5.8 m/s just before hitting the ground.

(a) What change occurs in the gravitational potential energy of the bear-Earth system during the slide? (b) What is the kinetic energy of the bear just before hitting the ground? (c) What is the average frictional force that acts on the sliding bear?

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

change  in the gravitational potential energy of the bear-Earth system during the slide  = mgh

= 45 x 9.8 x 11

= 4851 J

b )

kinetic energy of bear just before hitting the ground

= 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 45 x 5.8²

= 756.9 J

c ) If  the average frictional force that acts on the sliding bear be F

negative work done by friction

= F x 11 J

then ,

4851 J -  F x 11 =  756.9 J

F x 11 = 4851 J -   756.9 J

= 4094.1 J

F = 4094.1 / 11

= 372.2 N

Gaseous helium is in thermal equilibrium with liquid helium at 6.4 K. The mass of a helium atom is 6.65 × 10−27 kg and Boltzmann
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.

Explanation:

The most probable speed:

v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2K_bT}{m}}

K_b= Boltzmann’s constant =1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K

T = temperature of the gas

m = mass of the gas particle.

Given, m = 6.65\times 10^{-27} kg

T = 6.4 K

Substituting all the given values :

v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K\times 6.4 K}{6.65\times 10^{-27} kg}}

v_{mp}=162.78 m/s

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.

A hydrogen fuel cell supplies power for a small motor. the fuel cell delivers a current of 0.5 a and a voltage of 0.43 v. what i
gogolik [260]
We want to know what is the power supplied by the power cell if the current I=0.5 A and the voltage V=0.43 V. The equation for power P is P= I*V, so:

P=I*V=0.5*0.43=0.215 W

So the correct answer is that the power cell is supplying the motor with P=0.215 W of power.

If the current in each wire is the same, which wire produces the strongest magnetic field?
lions [1.4K]

Answer: option 4: A wire that is 2-mm thick and coiled.

Explanation:

The current in each wire is same. The magnetic field due to a current carrying wire increases if the wire is coiled with the more number of turns. A thick wire would cause low resistance to the current. Hence, a 2-mm thick wire which is coiled would produce the strongest magnetic field.
