A student is about to sled down a hill. He stands on a hill which is 30 meters tall and he weighs 40kg what is his GPE

Physics
1 answer:
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

How are mathematics and science related?
____ [38]
The relationship between math and science is very complicated, yet at the same time very simple. In fact all scientific equations are expressed into some form of mathematical equations. Science is a body of knowledge about the Universe. Mathematics is a language that can describe relationships and change in relationships in a rational way. Science generally uses mathematics as a tool to describe science and vice versa.

The diagram shown represents a block-and-tackle pulley system on which an effort of W Newtons supports a load of 120.0N. If the
natta225 [31]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Efficiency of a machine can't be more than 1, so I assume you mean 40%.  (Remember, efficiency and mechanical advantage are not the same).

Efficiency is the ratio of work out of a system to the work in to the system.

e = Wout / Win

Work is force times distance, so:

e = (Fout × Dout) / (Fin × Din)

Rearranging:

Fin = (Fout × Dout) / (e × Din)

Fin = (Fout / e) × (Dout / Din)

Fin = (Fout / e) / (Din / Dout)

We know that e = 0.40, and Fout = 120 N.  Since there are 6 pulleys, we also know that Din/Dout = 6.

F = (120 N / 0.4) / 6

F = 50 N

Traveling waves are generated on a string fixed at both ends. The string has a length L, a linear mass density m, and a tension
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: d. I or II

Explanation: A traveling wave has speed that depends on characteristics of a medium. Characteristics like linear density (μ), which is defined as mass per length.

Tension or Force (F_{T}) is also related to the speed of a moving wave.

The relationship between tension and linear density and speed is ginve by the formula:

|v|=\sqrt{\frac{F_{T}}{\mu} }

So, for the traveling waves generated on a string fixed at both ends described above, ways to increase wave speed would be:

1) Increase Tension and maintaining mass and length constant;

2) Longer string will decrease linear density, which will increase wave speed, due to their inversely proportional relationship;

Then, ways to increase the wave speed is

I. Using the same string but increasing tension

II. Using a longer string with the same μ and T.
