A young girl gives her toboggan a push of 4.0m/s uphill. It slides up the hill slowing down at an acceleration of 8.0m/s down. I

t comes to a stop and then slides back towards her speeding up at the same rate as it slowed down on the way up. If the girl has to run 48m down the hill from where it first was pushed to get to where her sled stopped , find the elapsed time for the journey

An archer draws her bow and stores 34.8 J of elastic potential energy in the bow. She releases the 63 g arrow, giving it an init
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Approximately 71\%.

Explanation:

The formula for the kinetic energy \rm KE of an object is:

\displaystyle \mathrm{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^2,

where

  • m is the mass of that object, and
  • v is the speed of that object.

Important: Joule (\rm J) is the standard unit for energy. The formula for \rm KE requires two inputs: mass and speed. The standard unit of mass is \rm kg while the standard unit for speed is \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. If both inputs are in standard units, then the output (kinetic energy) will also be in the standard unit (that is: joules,

Convert the unit of the arrow's mass to standard unit:

m = 63\; \rm g = 0.063\; \rm kg.

Initial \rm KE of this arrow:

\begin{aligned}\mathrm{KE} &= \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^2 \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\times 0.063\; \rm kg \times \left(\rm 28 \; m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2 \\ &\approx 24.696\; \rm J\end{aligned}.

That's the same as the energy output of this bow. Hence, the efficiency of energy transfer will be:

\displaystyle \frac{24.696\; \rm J}{34.8\; \rm J} \times 100\% \approx 71\%.

A 22.0 kg bucket of concrete is connected over a very light frictionless pulley to a 375 N box on the roof of a building as show
Veronika [31]

Answer:

vf = 3.27[m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must analyze each body individually and find the respective equations. The free body diagram of each body (box and bucket) should be made, in the attached image we can see the free body diagrams and the respective equations.

With the first free body diagram, we determine that the tension T should be equal to the product of the mass of the box by the acceleration of this.

With the second free body diagram we determine another equation that relates the tension to the acceleration of the bucket and the mass of the bucket.

Then we equalize the two stress equations and we can clear the acceleration.

a = 3.58 [m/s^2]

As we know that the bucket descends 1.5 [m], this same distance is traveled by the box, as they are connected by the same rope.

x = \frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}\\1.5 = \frac{1}{2}*(3.58) *t^{2} \\t = 0.91 [s]

And the speed can be calculated as follows:

v_{f}=v_{o}+a*t\\v_{f}=0+(3.58*0.915)\\v_{f}= 3.27[m/s]

A meter stick moves parallel to its axis with speed of 0.96 c relative to you. What would you measure for the length of the stic
Fed [463]

Answer:

The length of the stick is 0.28 m.

The time the stick take to move is 0.97 ns.

Explanation:

Given that,

Relative speed of stick v= 0.96 c

Speed of light c= 2.99793\times10^{8}\ m/s

Proper length of stick = 1 m

We need to calculate the length of the stick

Using formula of length

\Delta l=\Delta l_{0}\sqrt{(1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2})}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta l=1\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.96)^2c^2}{c^2}}

\Delta l=1\sqrt{1-(0.96)^2}

\Delta l=0.28\ m

We need to calculate the time the stick take to move

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{\Delta l}{v}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{0.28}{0.96\times(2.99793\times10^{8})}

t=9.72\times10^{-10}\ sec

t=0.97\ ns

Hence, The length of the stick is 0.28 m.

The time the stick take to move is 0.97 ns.

Describe The energy conversions that occur when coal is formed, and then burned to produce thermal energy.
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

When energy contained in coal is turned into heat, and then into electrical energy. As boiling water heated by the burning coal is cooled, steam forges from these cone-shaped cooling towers.
