A boy in a wheelchair (total mass 56.5 kg) has speed 1.40 m/s at the crest of a slope 2.05 m high and 12.4 m long. At the bottom

of the slope his speed is 6.30 m/s. Assume air resistance and rolling resistance can be modeled as a constant friction force of 41.0 N. Find the work he did in pushing forward on his wheels during the downhill ride.

Answer: 439.01 J

Explanation:

The Kinetic Energy at the top + Potential Energy at the top + Work Done = Kinetic Energy at the bottom + Friction loss

1/2mv² + mgh + W = 1/2 mv² + Fd

1/2 * 56.5 * (1.4)² + 56.5 * 9.8 * 2.05 + W = 1/2 * 56.5 * (6.3)² + 41 * 12.4

1/2 * 56.5 * 1.96 + 56.5 * 9.8 * 2.05 + W = 1/2 * 56.5 * 39.69 + 41 * 12.4

55.47 + 1135.085 + W = 1121.243 + 508.4

1190.555 + W = 1629.643

W = 1629.643 - 1190.555

W = 439.088

W = 439.09 J

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s^2.

So to calculate the time it will take to make the ball stop(which btw means the ball now reach its greatest height), use the formula V1=V0+at. V1 is the final velocity(which is 0), V0 is the starting velocity(which is 30m/s), and the a(cceleration) is 9.8m/s^2.

(You can ignore the fact "at" is -30 instead 30, it's because the directions two velocity travel are opposite. )

We can now know the time it takes to make the ball stop just by the gravitational force is about 3 sec.

Use another formula S=1/2at^2, to find out the S(height) is 1/2*9.8*3^2=44.1, which is approximately D.45m .

A rabbit is hopping along at an approximately constant speed of 3.9 m/s. The rabbit passes a crouched cat ready to chase the rab
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

t  = 7,8 s

Explanation:

From the instant, the rabbit passes the cat. The cat star running acceleration of 0,5 m/s² .

When the cat arrives at the speed of 3,9 m/s the cat catches the rabbit

Then for the cat arrives at 3,9 m/s nedds

v = vo + a*t     vo  = 0  then   v = a*t

3,9 ( m/s) = 0,5 ( m/s² ) * t

t  = 7,8 s

v  =  3,9 m/s =
