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.

how many times does the kinectic energy of a car increase when traveling 60 mph as opposed to traveling 30 mph
Bumek [7]
The car at 60 kph has 9 times more kinetic energy than the car traveling at 20 kph. This assumes that both cars have the same mass. Kinetic energy depends on the square of thee speed so if one car is going 3 times faster, its kinetic energy will be 3^2 ( = 9 ) greater. The car going at 60 kph will have 4 times the KE of the car going at 30 kph ( again assuming that the cars have the same mass.)

Which fractures tend to occur first when a pane of glass is struck?
Irina18 [472]

Radial fractures tend to occur first when a pane of glass is struck.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

There is a slight difference between radial and concentric fractures and as radial fractures are formed which extends outwards in a radial manner  from the point where the glass is struck.

Whereas concentric fractures are circular in pattern and they terminate long before radial crack. Also when a bullet is fired from a gun, a similar reaction is observed as it gets struck on the surface and fractures are formed in the same pattern.
