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

A 0.80 kg object tied to the end of a 2.0 m string swings as a pendulum. At the lowest point of its swing, the object has a kine
devlian [24]

Answer:

3.32 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, the sum of mechanical and kinetic energy should be equal to the 10 J given. Potential energy is given by mgh where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height. For this case, h= l(1-cos\theta) and l is string length, given as 2 m, \theta is given as 50 degrees. Kinetic energy is given by 0.5mv^{2} and it is this velocity that is unknown.

10J=0.5\times 0.8kg\times v^{2}+ 0.8kg\times 9.81\times 2m(1-cos 50^{\circ})\\v\approx 3.32 m/s

Problem 5 You are playing a game where you drop a coin into a water tank and try to land it on a target. You often find this gam
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Option D: 1.5in in front of the target

Explanation:

The object distance is y= 6in.

Because the surface is flat, the radius of curvature is infinity .

The incident index is n_i=\frac{4}{3} and the transmitted index is n_t= 1.

The single interface equation is \frac{n_i}{y}+\frac{n_t}{y^i}=\frac{n_t-n_i}{r}

Substituting the quantities given in the problem,

\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{6in}+\frac{1}{y^i}= 0

The image distance is then y^i=-\frac{18}{4}in =-4.5in

Therefore, the coin falls 1.5in in front of the target

A firework is launched with a force of 700 N and a momentum of 200 kg-m/s. How much time before is explodes?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

t = 0.28 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on a firework, F = 700 N

The momentum of the firework, p =200 kg-m/s

We need to find the time before it explodes. Ket the time be t. We know that, the rate of change of momentum is equal to external frce. So,

F=\dfrac{P}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{P}{F}\\\\t=\dfrac{200}{700}\\t=0.28\ s

So, the required time is equal to 0.28 seconds.
