Answer:

.7917 m/s

Explanation:

This is a conservation of momentum question. You have an object initially at rest (cart) so that object is initially at 0 momentum. Indiana Jones is 83.5 kg and running 3.75 m/s so he starts with a momentum of 313.125 kg * m/s because momentum is equal to mass * velocity. Once the person jumps in the cart, the cart and the person can be considered one object and by conservation of momentum, the momentum of the Indiana-cart system is equal to 313.125 kg * m/s. By that, we can set that momentum equal to the combined mass * joint velocity. So 313.125 = (83.5kg + 312kg) * joint velocity. Then just solve for the velocity. The answer should be smaller than the intial velocity of the person of 3.75 m/s because the mine cart is HUGE at 312kg.

A team of bicyclists are on bikes that require 512 J of work to ride. It takes 432 J of work for the bike to turn the gears. Wha
Alja [10]

Answer:

84.4 %

Explanation:

Mechanical efficiency = output work/input work × 100 %

output work = 432 J of work for the bike to turn the gears

input work = 512 J of work to ride.

Mechanical efficiency =  432 J/512 J × 100 %

= 0.844 × 100%

= 84.4 %

What objects do balanced forces act on?
leva [86]

Answer: Stationary or constant velocity

Explanation:

Objects with balanced forces acting on them experience no change in motion, or no acceleration. So these objects could either be stationary at rest or have a constant velocity. These include a hanging object, a floating object, an object on a table that doesn't move, and a car moving at a constant 10 mph

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu
ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}

     1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight  and the above equation will be as follows.

   (1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2&#10;}

         v = sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}

           = 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.

A runner of mass 80 kg is moving at 8.0 m/s. Calculate her kinetic energy. ​
lana [24]

Answer:

2560J

Explanation:

By definition the kinetic energy can be calculated in the following way:

K = (mv²)/2 = 80kg·(8.0m/s)²/2 = 2560 J
