Answer:

The sprinter need to climb 6.17 m

Explanation:

From the question,

Ep = Ek...................... Equation 1

Where Ep = potential energy, Ek = kinetic energy.

therefore,

mgh = 1/2mv².................... Equation 2

Where m = mass of the human, v = speed, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.

making h the subject of formula in equation 2

h = 1/2v²/g...................... Equation 3

Given: v = 11 m/s

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into equation 3,

h = 1/2(11²)/9.8

h = 6.17 m.

Therefore the sprinter need to climb 6.17 m

A 500kg elevator is raised to a height of 10 m in 10 seconds. Calculate the power of the motor.
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Correct answer: Third statement  P = 4900 W

Explanation:

Given:

m = 500 kg  the mass of the elevator

h = 10 m  reached height after t = 10 seconds

P = ? power of the motor

The formula for the calculating power of the motor is:

P = W / t

since work is a measure of change in this case of potential energy then it is:

W = ΔEp = Ep - 0 = Ep

In this case we must take g = 9.81 m/s²

Ep = m g h = 500 · 9.81 · 10 = 49,050 W ≈ 49,000 W

Ep ≈ 49,000 W

P = Ep / t = 49,000 / 10 = 4,900 W

P =4,900 W

A 25 newton force applied on an object moves it 50 meters. The angle between the force and displacement is 40.0 degrees. What is
zvonat [6]
Work done is when a force is exerted to cause a displacement in a certain object. 
the equation for work done ;
work done = force applied * displacement of the object 
when the force applied is not in the same direction as that of the displacement of the object then the effect of the force is not its whole value. The force is then applied at an angle to that of the displacement of the object, then the resultant force is the force exerted* cos of the angle between force and displacement, in this instance the angle is 40 °.
the new equation is then;
work done = force cos 40° * displacement
after substitution,
work = 25 N * 0.76 * 50 m
         = 957.55 J
round it off
         = 9.6 *10² J
the correct answer is B

When did the ball fly farther—when it hit the moving bat or the bat that did not move?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

when it hit the moving bat

Explanation:

force equals mass times acceleration which means the moving bat will add more force to the ball.
