Answer:

A. W = 6875.0 J.

B. W = -14264.6 J.

Explanation:

A. The work done by the rider can be calculated by using the following equation:

W_{r} = |F_{r}|*|d|*cos(\theta_{1})

Where:                

F_{r}: is the force done by the rider = 25 N

d: is the distance = 275 m

θ: is the angle between the applied force and the distance

Since the applied force is in the same direction of the motion, the angle is zero.

W_{r} = |F_{r}|*|d|*cos(0) = 25 N*275 m = 6875.0 J

Hence, the rider does a work of 6875.0 J on the bike.

B. The work done by the force of gravity on the bike is the following:

W_{g} = |F_{g}|*|d|*cos(\theta_{2})  

The force of gravity is given by the weight of the bike.

F_{g} = -mgsin(24)     

And the angle between the force of gravity and the direction of motion is 180°.

W_{g} = |mgsin(24)|*|d|*cos(\theta_{2})  

W_{g} = 13 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*sin(24)*275 m*cos(180) = -14264.6 J  

The minus sign is because the force of gravity is in the opposite direction to the motion direction.

Therefore, the magnitude of the work done by the force of gravity on the bike is 14264.6 J.  

I hope it helps you!

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.767

Explanation:

The work done on the truck by the frictional drag force is given by

W=-Fd

where

F is the magnitude of the frictional force

d = 38.0 m is the maximum displacement allowed for the truck

The negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction is opposite to the motion of the truck

The force of friction can also be written as:

F=\mu mg

where

\mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the lane

m is the mass of the truck

g is the acceleration of gravity

So we can rewrite the work done as

W=-\mu mg d (1)

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by friction is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the truck:

W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 (2)

where

v = 0 is the final velocity of the truck

u = 23.9 m/s is the initial velocity of the truck

By combining (1) and (2) we get

-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = -\mu mg d

And solving for \mu, we find the minimum coefficient of kinetic friction able to stop the truck in a distance d:

\mu = \frac{u^2}{2gd}=\frac{23.9^2}{2(9.8)(38.0)}=0.767

(solve for t here) cause you know y,y0,v,g
you will do quad formula here

then:
v=v0 +at solve for v
(remember the direction of the ball too (signs))

The main thing to remember here is that when the ball passes exactly (height) where it was launched it will travel the speed at which it was launched. *its almost like the ball was thrown in the downward direction. </span>

THIS IS A SCIENCE QUESTION IF THESE ARNT ANSWERED IM GOING TO FAIL SCIENCE
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

1.a storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.

2.The Eye of a Hurricane. The eye is the region at the center of the hurricane, which is roughly circular in shape and usually has calm weather.

3.Hurricanes form over the ocean, often beginning as a tropical wave—a low pressure area that moves through the moisture-rich tropics, possibly enhancing shower and thunderstorm activity.  

4.When the surface water is warm, the storm sucks up heat energy from the water, just like a straw sucks up a liquid. This creates moisture in the air. If wind conditions are right, the storm becomes a hurricane. This heat energy is the fuel for the storm.

5.a rising of the sea as a result of atmospheric pressure changes and wind associated with a storm.

6.A hurricane dies down when it loses its energy source, which is usually warm water at the surface of the ocean.

7.Hurricane Katrina was so destructive because of a bunch of events that happened in just the right way. First, understand that Katrina was at one point a Category 5 storm and was predicted to hit New Orleans as a Category 4. It weakened to a Cat 3 and veered ever so slightly to the east, making the damage far less than it could have been.
