At an amusement park, a 7.00 kg swimmer uses a water slide to enter the main pool. The swimmer starts at rest, slides without fr

iction, and descends through a vertical height of 0.40 m. Find the total energy present when the swimmer is at the top of the slide.

Answer:

27.44 J

Explanation:

We can find the energy at the top of the slide by using the potential energy equation:

  • PE = mgh

At the top of the slide, the swimmer has 0 kinetic energy and maximum potential energy.

The swimmer's mass is given as 7.00 kg.

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s².

The (vertical) height of the water slide is 0.40 m.

Substitute these values into the potential energy equation:

  • PE = (7.00)(9.8)(0.40)
  • PE = 27.44

Since there is 0 kinetic energy at the top of the slide, the total energy present is the swimmer's potential energy.

Therefore, the answer is 27.44 J of energy when the swimmer is at the top of the slide.

When an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for
sveta [45]

Answer:

F = -4567.40 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The power developed by the engine, P = 196 hp

1 hp = 746 W

196 hp = 146157 W

Speed of the car, v = 32 m/s

Let F is the total friction force acting on the car. The product of force and velocity is called the power developed by the engine. It is given by :

P=-F\times v

F=\dfrac{-P}{v}

F=\dfrac{-146157\ W}{32\ m/s}

F = -4567.40 N

So, the total frictional force acting on the car is 4567.40 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

During nuclear fission and fusion, matter that seems to disappear is actually converted into
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Energy (I need one more brainlist can i has?)

Explanation:

- Nuclear fusion occurs when two light nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus

- Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy, unstable nucleus breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei

In both processes, the mass of the products is always smaller than the mass of the initial nuclei. This means that part of the initial mass has been converted into something else: into energy, which is released in the process.

The amount of energy released in the process can be calculated by using the famous Einstein's equivalence:

where m is the difference between the mass of the product and the initial mass of the nuclei, and c is the speed of light.
