At an amusement park, a swimmer uses a water slide to enter the main pool. a. If the swimmer starts at rest, slides with negligi

ble friction, and down a 3.25 m long slide that descends through a vertical height of 2.31m, what is her speed at the bottom of the slide? b. Find the swimmer’s speed at the bottom of the slide if she starts with an initial speed of 0.840 m/s.

Answer:

a)6.7m/S

b)6.8m/s

Explanation:

Hello ! To solve the point b you must follow the steps below

1.Draw the slide taking into account its length and height and find the angle from which the swimmer is launched (see attached image)

2. Find the horizontal velocity (X) and vertical (Y) components (see attached image)

3) for the third step we must remember that as in the slide there is no horizontal acceleration the speed in X will remain constant at the end of the swimmer's path (Vx = 0.59m / s)

4)

the fourth step is to remember that vertically there is constant acceleration called gravity (g = 9.81m / s ^ 2), so to find the speed at the end of the route we use the following equation

Vfy= \sqrt{Vy^2+2gy}

where    

Vfy= final verticaly speed    

Vy=initial verticaly speed=0.59m/S

g=gravity=9.81m/S^2

y=height of slide=2.31m

solving

Vfy= \sqrt{Vy^2+2gy}\\Vfy= \sqrt{(0.59)^2+2(9.81)(2.31)}=6.77m/s

The last step is to add the velocity components vectorally at the end of the route with the following equation

V=\sqrt{Vfy^2+Vx^2} =\sqrt{6.77^2+0.59^2} =6.8m/s

point A

taking into account the previous steps we can infer that as the swimmer starts from rest, the velocity (Vx=Vy=O) is zero, so we should only use the formula for constant acceleration movement.

Vfy= \sqrt{Vy^2+2gy}

vy=0

Vfy=\sqrt{2gy}

Vfy=\sqrt{2(9.81)(2.31)}=6.7m/s

In a given chemical reaction the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants which statement is true for thi
GREYUIT [131]

Group of answer choices.

A. Energy is absorbed in the reaction.

B. Energy is released in the reaction.

C. There is no transfer of energy in the reaction.

D. Energy is lost in the reaction.

Answer:

B. Energy is released in the reaction.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a chemical process which typically involves the transformation or rearrangement of the atomic, ionic or molecular structure of an element through the breakdown and formation of chemical bonds to produce a new compound or substance.

Basically, there are two (2) main types of chemical reaction and these include;

I. Endothermic reaction: it's a chemical reaction in which heat is absorbed

II. Exothermic reaction: it's a chemical reaction in which heat is liberated into the environment.

In Chemistry, all chemical equation must follow or be in accordance with the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed by either a physical transformation or a chemical reaction but transformed from one form to another in an isolated (closed) system.

Generally, energy is released in a chemical reaction when the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants and it is referred to as an exothermic reaction.

However, when the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants, energy is absorbed and it is referred to as an endothermic reaction.

What is the mass of a car that has a kinetic energy if 4,320,000 J moving at 23 m/s?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

kinetic energy=1/2mv^2.

which is 4320000=1/2×m×23^2.

which is 4320000=1/2×m×529.

4320000=264.5m.

m=4320000/264.5.

m=16332.70~16333g
