Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of a skater is, u = 5 m/s

She slows to a velocity of 2 m/s over a distance of 20 m.

We can find the acceleration of skater. It is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So, it can be calculated using third equation of motion as follows :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

a = acceleration

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\\a=\dfrac{(2)^2-(5)^2}{2\times 20}\\\\a=-0.525\ m/s^2$

So, her acceleration is $0.525\ m/s^2$ and she is deaccelerating. Also, her initial velocity is given i.e. 5 m/s.

hi <3

the correct option would be A. displacement. displacement is distance in a direction

hope this helps :)

A 50-g chunk of 80 degrees C iron is dropped into a cavity in a very large block of ice at 0 degrees C. Show that 5.5 g of ice w

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

5.5g of ice melts when a 50g chunk of iron at 80°C is dropped into a cavity

Explanation:

The concept to solve this problem is given by Energy Transferred, the equation is given by,

$Q = mc\Delta T$

Where,

Q= Energy transferred

m = mass of water

c = specific heat capacity

$\Delta T =$ Temperature change (K or °C)

Replacing the values where mass is 50g and temperature is 80°C to 0°C we have,

$Q = mc\Delta T$

$Q = 50*0.11*(80-0)$

$Q = 440cal$

Then we can calculate the heat absorbed by m grams of ice at 0°C, then

$Q_2 = mL = 80*m$

How Q_1=Q_2, so

$80m=440$

$m=\frac{440}{80}$

$m = 5.5g$

Then 5.5g of ice melts when a 50g chunk of iron at 80°C is dropped into a cavity

How many normal modes of oscillation or natural frequencies does each if the following have: (

Vadim26 [7]

<span>Each of these systems has exactly one degree of freedom and hence only one natural frequency obtained by solving the differential equation describing the respective motions. For the case of the simple pendulum of length L the governing differential equation is d^2x/dt^2 = - gx/L with the natural frequency f = 1/(2π) √(g/L). For the mass-spring system the governing differential equation is m d^2x/dt^2 = - kx (k is the spring constant) with the natural frequency ω = √(k/m). Note that the normal modes are also called resonant modes; the Wikipedia article below solves the problem for a system of two masses and two springs to obtain two normal modes of oscillation.</span>

An apple hanging from a limb has potential energy because of its height . If it falls ,what becomes of this energy just before i

sineoko [7]

Answer: Just before its hits the ground it becomes kinetic energy and when it hits the ground it becomes in another form of energy (acoustic energy or thermal energy, for example)

Explanation:

Energy is the ability of matter to produce work in the form of movement, light, heat, among others.

In this sense, according to the Conservation of Energy principle: <em>"energy is not created or destroyed, it is transformed."</em>

So, in the case of the apple, its total energy is conserved.

When the apple is hanging from a limb, it has zero kinetic energy $K_{o}=0$ (because it is at rest) and has gravitational potential energy $U_{o}$ , which depends on the mass $m$ , the acceleration due gravity $g$ and the height $h$ :

$U_{o}=mgh$

When the apple falls, just before its hits the ground, this gravitational potential energy transforms in kinetic energy $K_{1}$ (since the apple is moving), which depends on the mass and velocity $V$ of the apple:

$K_{1}=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}$

When the apple hits the ground, the gravitational potential energy is zero (h=0) and the kinetic energy transforms into some other form of energy (acoustic energy or thermal energy, for example).
