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

How much work, in N*m, is done when a 10.0 N force moves an object 2.5 m?

Alik [6]

W = F * d
W = 10N * 2.5 m
W = 25 N m
So the answer you want is the third one down.

A 10 g bullet moving horizontally with a speed of 2000 m/s strikes and passes through a 4.0 kg block moving with a speed of 4.2

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The answer is "512 J".

Explanation:

bullet mass $m_1 = 10 g= 10^{-2} \ kg\\\\$

initial speed $u_1 = 2\ \frac{Km}{s}= 2000\ \frac{m}{s}\\\\$

block mass $m_2 = 4\ Kg$

initial speed $v_2 =-4.2 \frac{m}{s}$

final speed $v_2= 0$

Let $v_1$ will be the bullet speed after collision:

throughout the consevation the linear moemuntum

$\to M_1V_1+m_2v_2=M_1U_1+m_2u_2\\\\\to (10^{-2} kg) V_1 +0 = (10^{-2} kg)(2000 \frac{m}{s}) + (4 \ kg)(-4.2 \frac{m}{s}) \\\\\ \to 10^{-2} v_1 = 20 -16.8\\\\$

$= 320 \frac{m}{s}$

The kinetic energy of the bullet in its emerges from the block

$k=\frac{1}{2} m_1 v_1^2$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times 10^{-2} \times 320\\\\=512 \ J$

Explain what happens to particles in diffusion. What causes diffusion?

vlabodo [156]

<u><em>Diffusion:
</em></u><em> in diffusion particles move from area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration..
</em><u><em>causes:
</em></u><em>the movement of particles allow them ti disperse,,, when molecules are close to each other they collide with each other and push each other apart so they spread in the whole area... :)</em><u><em>

A mountain-climber friend with a mass of 74 kg ponders the idea of attaching a helium-filled balloon to himself to effectively r

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$V=16.65 m^3$

Explanation:

The volume of the balloon can be find compared the force in each cases so:

reduce 25% from 74kg

$R=\frac{25}{100}*74kg=18.5kg$

So the net force uproad on the balloon is

$F_b=18.5kg*g$

Now the density of the both gases air and helium are different however the volume is the same change offcorss the mass so:

$P_h=\frac{m}{V}=0.179 kg/m^3$

$P_A=1.29 kg/m^3$

$F_b=F_A-F_H$

$F_b=m_a*g-m_h*g$

$m=P/V$

$18.5kg*g=(1.29kg/m^3-0.179kg/m^3*)V*g$

$V=\frac{18.5kg}{(1.29-0.179)kg/m^3}$

$V=16.65 m^3$
