PolarNik [594]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

11760J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of hill  = 30m

Weight  = 40kg

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy  = ?

Solution:

To find the gravitational potential energy, it is the energy due to the position of a body;

     G.PE  = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

      G.PE = 40 x 9.8 x 30  = 11760J

A steel playground slide is 5.25 m long and is raised 2.75 m on one end. A 45.0 kg child slides down from the top starting at re
Temka [501]

Answer:

F=32.24N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height h= 2.75 m

Lengthl = 5.25 m

Mass m=45kg

Final speed v_f=6.81

Generally the equation for Potential Energy P.E is mathematically given by

P.E=mgh

Therefore

Initial potential energy

P.E_1=45*9.8*2.75 \\\\P.E_1= 1212.75 J

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy K.E is mathematically given by

K.E=0.5mv^2

Therefore

Final kinetic energy

K.E_2= 1/2*45*6.81*6.81 \\\\K.E_2= 1043.46J

Generally the equation for Work_done is mathematically given by

W=P.E_1-K.E_2\\\\W=169.3

Therefore

F=\frac{W}{d}\\\\F=\frac{169.3}{5.25}

F=32.24N

A sports car of mass 1000 kg can accelerate from rest to 27 m/s in 7.0 s. what is the average forward force on the car?
Marysya12 [62]

The average force on the car=3857 N

Explanation:

mass of car= 1000 kg

initial velocity= Vi=0

Final velocity= Vf=27 m/s

time= t= 7 s

using the kinematic equation,

Vf= Vi + at

27=0+a (7)

a=3.857 m/s²

Now the force is given by F= m a

F=1000 (3.857)

F=3857 N

Viktor [21]

Complete question is;

Mike lives in the northern United States (in Minnesota) and Nick lives in the southern United States (Louisiana). When they both feel insulted by the same individual, Nick will be more likely to have a(n) ________ cortisol response and show ________ levels of physical aggression.

Answer:

- A hyper cortisol response

- higher levels of physical aggression

Explanation:

In study of hormones in the human body, it has been discovered that cortisol is a stress inducing hormone. Now, if they are in the summer when it is hot, it has been proven that's when the cortisol hormone circulates in a very large manner in the blood. This leads to frustration and as well possibly physical aggression.

Can a observation be accurate but not precise?
laila [671]
Sure 
"Mount Everest is 29,000 feet tall" or in scientific terms 2.9E4 
This statement/observation is accurate to 2 decimal places. It is precise only to (perhaps) the nearest thousand feet. 
More precise 
"Mount Everest is 29,029 feet tall"
