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

Fofino [41]

The distance between Mars and the Sun in the scale model would be 1140 m

Explanation:

In this scale model, we have:

x_1 = 50 cm represents an actual distance of

d_1 = 1.0\cdot 10^5 km

The actual distance between Mars and the Sun is 228 million km, therefore

d_2=228\cdot 10^6 km

On the scale model, this would corresponds to a distance of x_2.

Therefore, we can write the following proportion:

\frac{x_1}{d_1}=\frac{x_2}{d_2}

And solving for x_2, we find:

x_2=\frac{x_1 d_2}{d_1}=\frac{(50)(228\cdot 10^6)}{1\cdot 10^5}=1.14\cdot 10^5 cm = 1140 m

The two measurements necessary for calculating average speed are
alisha [4.7K]

The correct answer is Option (C) distance and time

Explanation:

Average speed of any object is defined as the total distance that object travels over the time it takes to travel that distance. In other words, average speed is the total distance divided by the elapsed time.

Average \thinspace Speed = \frac{Total \thinspace Distance}{Elapsed \thinspace Time}

Therefore, as you can see in the above equation, the two measurements that are essential for the calculation of the average speed are the (total) distance and the (elapsed) time.

Hence, the correct option is C.
