The ice skaters partner liftes her up a distance of 1 m work done or not work done

Physics

1 answer:

SOVA2 [1]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

Work done.

Explanation:

The skater who lifts has to overcome the partner's weight. When lifted up by 1 meter, her potential energy increases by (mass)x(gravitational acceleration)x(1meter), which is the amount of work done.

(This all assumes lifting vertically and no other forces being part of the picture)

fredd [130]

Answer:

0.25m²

Explanation:

We know that the summation of forces in the vertical direction is zero

PA-mg=0

A=mg/p

Substituting

A= 75* 9.8/3*10^-3

=0.25m² which is the total shoe area

Answer:

A. The brakes used a coil system to convert the kinetic energy into potential energy stored in the brakes

Explanation:

Based on the law of conservation of energy, the brakes used a coil system to convert the kinetic energy into potential energy stored in the brakes.

The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed in a system but it is transformed from one form to another.

As the airplane slows down, the kinetic energy which is presented in the motion of the plane is gradually converted to potential energy.

The potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

A roller coaster car may be approximated by a block of mass m. Thecar, which starts from rest, is released at a height h above t

elena55 [62]

Answer:

The first part can be solved via conservation of energy.

$mgh = mg2R + K\\K = mg(h-2R)$

For the second part,

the free body diagram of the car should be as follows:

- weight in the downwards direction

- normal force of the track to the car in the downwards direction

The total force should be equal to the centripetal force by Newton's Second Law.

$F = ma = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\mg + N = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

where $N = 0$ because we are looking for the case where the car loses contact.

$mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\v^2 = gR\\v = \sqrt{gR}$

Now we know the minimum velocity that the car should have. Using the energy conservation found in the first part, we can calculate the minimum height.

$mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}m(gR)\\gh = g2R + \frac{1}{2}gR\\h = 2R + \frac{R}{2}\\h = \frac{5R}{2}$

Explanation:

The point that might confuse you in this question is the direction of the normal force at the top of the loop.

We usually use the normal force opposite to the weight. However, normal force is the force that the road exerts on us. Imagine that the car goes through the loop very very fast. Its tires will feel a great amount of normal force, if its velocity is quite high. By the same logic, if its velocity is too low, it might not feel a normal force at all, which means losing contact with the track.
