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

Listed following is a set of statements describing individual stars or characteristics of stars. Match these to the appropriate
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Red giant or super giant → very cool but very luminous

                                      → found in the upper right of the H-R diagram.

Main sequence →The majority of stars in our galaxy

                        → Sun, for example

                        → a very hot and very luminous star

White dwarfs → very hot but very dim

                     → not much larger in radius than earth  

Explanation:

Giant:

When the stars run out of their fuel that is hydrogen for the nuclear fusion reactions then they convert into Giant stars.That's why they are very cool. Giant stars have the larger radius and luminosity then the main sequence stars.

Main Sequence:

Stars are called main sequence stars when their core temperature reaches up to 10 million kelvin and their start the nuclear fusion reactions of hydrogen into helium in the core of the star. That is why they are very hot and luminous. For example sun is known as to be in the stage of main sequence as the nuclear fusion reactions are happening in its core.

White dwarfs:

When the stars run out of their fuel then they shed the outer layer planetary nebula, the remaining core part that left behind is called as white dwarf. It's the most dense part as the most of the mass is concentrated in this part.

A11) A solenoid of length 18 cm consists of closely spaced coils of wire wrapped tightly around a wooden core. The magnetic fiel
vitfil [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

From a Solenoid we know that a magnetic fiel is always inversely proportional to lenght L or BL = constant

B= frac{\mu_0}{2R}

As I is constant

\frac{B2}{B1} = \frac{R1}{R2}

B2 = 2mT*\frac{18}{21}

B2 = 1.714mT

45.678 g to 4 digits
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

<h2>45.68 g</h2>

Explanation:

Given 45.678 g, converting the value to 4 digits is similar to converting the decimal number to 4 significant figure. We can see that the decimal number initially contains 5 numbers. To covert to a 4 digits number we will convert the last digit which is 8 to 0 because 0 is insignificant.

If the number we are converting to zero is more than 4 then the preceding number (7) will be rounded up by adding 1 to it

The decimal number will become 45.68.

Note that the value of 7 was rounded up to 8 since the value we are converting to zero is more than 4.

<em>Hence the decimal value in 4 digits is 45.68 g</em>

How strong is the electric field between the plates of a 0.86 µf air-gap capacitor if they are 2.0 mm apart and each has a char
Gala2k [10]
The electric field between the plates is equal to the potential difference across the plates divided by the separation of the plates.
The potential difference across the plates is equal to the charge stored divided by the capacitance.
