Answer:
0.8m per second
Explanation:
we measure speed as distance over time
distance=8m
time=10s
therefore speed = 8/10
=0.8m per second
Answer:
the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J
Explanation:
Given;
distance the boy slides, d = 3 m
angle of inclination of the playground, θ = 40⁰
mass of the boy, m = 32 kg
The vertical height, h, above the ground through which the boy falls represents the height of the triangle which is the opposite side.
The distance through which the boy slides, d, represents the hypotenuse side of the right triangle.

The work done by gravity on the boy is calculated as;
W = P.E = mgh
= 32kg x 9.8m/s² x 1.928m
= 604.62 J
Therefore, the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J
Excellent work!
Your calculations are correct, but near the end, you have forgotten to cancel u. If you cancel the u, the linear term becomes a constant, and the resultant equation becomes a simple quadratic which is much easier to solve.
I get u=7.468 m/s using g=9.81 (as you did)
You will rework and should get 7.468 m/s as well.
Congrats for the good work!
Answer:
the the right because opposites attract to each other
It's <em>chemical energy</em>.
It started out as energy carried in solar radiation. It was absorbed by plants, and they stored it as chemical energy in their stems and leaves. The plants got cut down, washed off, and delivered to the supermarket. Your mom brought them home, camouflaged them so they wouldn't look like veggies, and put them on your plate while you weren't looking. Eventually, some of them got into your body, got digested, and their energy got stored in your cells as glucose and fat. When you needed some energy to do something physical or mental, you grabbed some of that energy that you had stored as chemical energy, and used it to operate your muscles and your brain. You used the glucose (blood sugar) first, and if you ever reached the point where that was running low, you started to use the fat that you have stored around in many places.
