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

Make a list of nutrients found in packed items and amount of nutrient present in them
mezya [45]

Nutrients found in packed items include carbohydrates, fats and proteins and the amount of nutrients present in them is found in calories/grams.

<h3>What are macronutrients?</h3>

Macronutrients are nutrients that contain calories that must be consumed in the diet to perform metabolic functions.

These macronutrients are specified in packed foods, and include proteins, carbohydrates and lipids.

Macronutrients provide 4 calories (proteins and carbohydrates) or 9 calories per gram (fats).

In conclusion, nutrients include carbohydrates, fats (lipids) and proteins and their proportions are expressed in grams.

A chair of mass 15.0 kg is sitting on the horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of
Neko [114]

Answer: 185.5672566

Explanation:  The friction is not relevant

Normal reaction is the force perpendicular to the surface.

this force resists the downwards forces applied which are gravity and a component of the applied force.

What is the smallest value of n for which the wavelength of a Balmer series line is less than 400 nm
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The smallest value is n= 2

Explanation:

The balmer equation is given below

1/λ = R(1/4 - 1/n₂²).

R= 1.0973731568508 × 10^7 m^-1

λ= 400*10^-9 m

(400*10^-9)= 1.0973731568508 × 10^7 (1/4-1/n²)

(400*10^-9)/1.0973731568508 × 10^7

= 1/4 - 1/n²

364.51 *10^-16= 1/4 - 1/n²

1/n²= 1/4 -364.51 *10^-16

1/n² = 0.25-3.6451*10^-14

1/0.25= n²

4= n²

√4= n

2= n

The smallest value is N= 2
