Jane's mechanical energy at any time is
E=U+K
where U=mgh is the potential energy, while K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2 is the kinetic energy.

Initially, Jane is on the ground, so the altitude is h=0 and the potential energy is zero: U=0. She's running with speed v, so she has kinetic energy only:
E=K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2
Then she grabs the vine, and when she reaches the maximum height h, her speed is zero: v=0, and so the kinetic energy becomes zero: K=0. So now her mechanical energy is just potential energy:
E=U=mgh

But E must be conserved, so the initial kinetic energy must be equal to the final potential energy:
\frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh
from which we can find h, the maximum height Jane can reach:
h= \frac{v^2}{2g}= \frac{(6.8 m/s)^2}{2\cdot 9.81 m/s^2}=2.36 m

Consider a series RLC circuit where R = 855 Ω and C = 6.25 μF. However, the inductance L of the inductor is unknown. To find its
sashaice [31]

Answer:

L= 0.059 mH

Explanation:

Given that

R = 855 Ω and C = 6.25 μF

V= 84 V

Frequency

ω = 51900 1/s

We know that

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{LC}}

L=Inductance

C=Capacitance

ω =angular Frequency

ω² L C =1

(51900)² x L x 6.25 x 10⁻⁶ = 1

L= 5.99 x 10⁻⁵ H

L= 0.059 mH

Which of the following represents a chemical change to matter? A. digestion of food B. melting an ice cube C. shredding paper D.
guajiro [1.7K]
The answer is A. digestion of food. The chemical change to matter means that the molecule structure has been destroyed. For B, C and D. the matter are still ice, paper and ice. So they are physical change.
