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

State and briefly describe the applications of expansion<br>​
zlopas [31]
When solid material expands in response to an increase in temperature (thermal expansion), it can increase in length in a process known as linear expansion. for an example application of expansion and contraction.

examples =
(1) Changing of shape and dimensions of objects such as doors.
(2) Wall collapsing due to bulging.
(3) Cracking of glass tumbler due to heating.
(4) Bursting of metal pipes carrying hot water or steam are some of the disadvantages of thermal expansion of matter.

Eukaryotic that can reproduce sexually contain two types of cells
Darina [25.2K]
<span>Only eukaryotes form multicellular organisms consisting of many kinds of tissue made up of different cell types. Eukaryotes can reproduce both asexually through mitosis and sexually through meiosis and gamete fusion. In mitosis, one cell divides to produce two genetically identical cells.</span>

A kid pulls on a rope with 20 newtons of force. The block and tackle system pulls up a 160 newton box. What is the mechanical ad
Minchanka [31]
Answer:
The mechanical advantage of the system is 8

Explanation:
the mechanical advantage measures how much the system multiplies the input force to get the output.

In the given:
The input force (effort) is 20 Newton
The output force (load) is 160 Newton

This means that the mechanical advantage is:
mechanical advantage = load / effort = 160 / 20 = 8

Note that the mechanical advantage is unit-less (has no unit) since it is a ratio between two forces.

Hope this helps :)
