Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy is energy that something has when its not moving. Kinetic energy is energy in motion. A ball held over a persons head isn't moving, meanwhile a ball in motion is using kinetic energy.

A block of ice with mass 2.00 kg slides 0.750 m down an inclined plane that slopes downward at an angle of 36.9 degrees below th

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: $V_{f}=2.96m/s$

Firstly we have to draw the Free Body Diagram (FBD) as shown in the figure attached.

Where the weight $w$ of the block has an x-component and y-component:

$w_{x}=wsin(\theta)$ (1)

$w_{y}=wcos(\theta)$ (2)

As well as the Normal Force $N$ :

$N_{x}=Nsin(\theta)$ (3)

$N_{y}=Ncos(\theta)$ (4)

In addition, we know $N=w$ , then $\sum F_{y}=0$

In the X-component:

$\sum F_{x}=m.a$

$m.a=w_{x}$ (5)

Substituting (1) in (5):

$wsin(\theta)=m.a$ (6)

In addition, we know $w=m.g$ , where $m$ is the mass of the block and $g$ the gravity acceleration, which is equal to $9.8m/{s}^{2}$

So:

$m.g.sin(\theta)=m.a$ (7)

$a=g.sin(\theta)$ (8)

$a=5.88m/{s}^{2}$ (9) >>>>This is the acceleration of the block

On the other hand, we have the following equation that expresses a <u>relation between</u> the distance $d$ with the acceleration $a$ and time $t$ :

$d=\frac{1}{2}a{t}^{2}$ (10)

We already know the value of $d$ and calculated $a$ , we have to find $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}$ (11)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.75m)}{5.88m/{s}^{2}}}$ (12)

$t=0.50s$ (13) >>>This is the time it takes to the block to go from the initial velocity $V_{o}$ to its final velocity $V_{f}$

If the acceleration is the variation of the velocity in time, we can use the following equation to find $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}-V_{o}=a.t$ (13)

If $V_{o}=0$

$V_{f}=a.t$ (14)

$V_{f}=(5.88m/{s}^{2})(0.50s)$ (15)

Finally we get the value of the Final Velocity of the block:

$V_{f}=2.96m/s$

The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world at 828 m. How much work would a man with a weight of 700 N do if he climbe

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

579600J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of the building = 828m

Weight of the man = 700N

Unknown:

Work done by the man = ?

Solution:

The work done by the man is the same as the potential energy expended.

Work done:

Work done = Weight x height = 700 x 828

Work done = 579600J

How must a fuse be connected in a circuit to prevent current from flowing when the circuit becomes ""overloaded""?

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The fuse must be connected between the device and the power intake source.

Explanation:

A fuse is a protective component of electrical appliances that is designed to be sensitive to a particular range of electric current

The fuse is made of a thing metal strip with a known melting point. Once current abive its carrying capacity flows through it, large heat is generated in the metal strip which melts it and causes the metal strip to cut int two protecting the device from the power spike.
