Two students are watching a person riding a skateboard up and down a ramp. Each student shares what they think about the energy
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Raymond: I think the skateboarder has the same total energy at all points on the ramp

Explanation:

The total energy, also known as the total mechanical energy, is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the skateboarder

Given that the potential energy is the energy gained due to elevation, the maximum potential energy is obtained at the top of the ramp, while the maximum kinetic energy, which is the energy due to motion, is at the bottom of the ramp where the skateboarder moves fastest.

However, by the energy conservation principle, the kinetic energy of he skateboarder comes from the conversion of the potential energy, such that the total energy is the same at any particular point on the ramp.

A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 15.0 m/s. (a) List the knowns in this problem.
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

a)

Y0 = 0 m

Vy0 = 15 m/s

ay = -9.81 m/s^2

b) 7.71 m

c) 3.06 s

Explanation:

The knowns are that the initial vertical speed (at t = 0 s) is 15 m/s upwards. Also at that time the dolphin is coming out of the water, so its initial position is 0 m. And since we can safely assume this happens in Earth, the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity, which is 9.81 m/s^2 pointing downwards

Y(0) = 0 m

Vy(0) = 15 m/s

ay = -9.81 m/s^2 (negative because it points down)

Since acceleration is constant we can use the equation for uniformly accelerated movement:

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

To find the highest point we do the first time derivative (this is the speed:

V(t) = Vy0 + a * t

We equate this to zero

0 = Vy0 + a * t

0 = 15 - 9.81 * t

15 = 9.81 * t

t = 0.654 s

At this time it will have a height of:

Y(0.654) = 0 + 15 * 0.654 - 1/2 * 9.81 * 0.654^2 = 7.71 m

The doplhin jumps and falls back into the water, when it falls again it position will be 0 again. So we can equate the position to zero to find how long it was in the air knowing that it started the jump at t = 0s.

0 = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

0 = 0 + 15 * t - 1/2 * 9.81 t^2

0 = 15 * t - 4.9 * t^2

0 = t * (15 - 4.9 * t)

t1 = 0 This is the moment it jumped into the air

0 = 15 - 4.9 * t2

15 = 4.9 * t2

t2 = 3.06 s This is the moment when it falls again.

3.06 - 0 = 3.06 s

What is the composition of the moon, how does it compare to the composition of earth and mercury?
amm1812

Explanation:

The moon is the earth satellite and it orbits our blue planet. Earth, moon and mercury are all rock materials in the solar system. They are all made up of dense silicate balls of rocks.

  • The Earth and Mercury are made up of silicate minerals and some iron core but the moon is predominant made up of silicate balls.
  • The earth has liquid water on it's surface but the moon has no liquid water.
  • The earth is an active planet in terms of tectonic activity. The moon is not active tectonically.

b. What would the momentum be if the mass of the bowling ball were doubled and its velocity still was 3 m/s?​
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Twice.

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by :

p = mv

Where

m is mass and v is the velocity

If the mass of the ball were doubled, m'=2m and v'=v=3 m/s

New momentum,

p'=m'v'

p'=2m × v

p'=2mv

or

p'=2p

So, the new momentum becomes twice the initial momentum.
