What is the mani difference between kentic energy and potential energy

1 answer:

7 0

Kinetic energy is stored energy that is released, for example, a fast-moving roller coaster down a slope. Potential energy is energy that has stored energy, for example, a stretched rubber band.

The world record for the 100.0 meter dash is 9.580 seconds. Find the speed of the runner in miles per hour.

grigory [225]

Answer:

233.1 miles per hours

Explanation:

Speed: This is defined as the ratio of distance to time. The S.I unit of speed is m/s. speed is a vector quantity because it can only be represented by magnitude only. Mathematically, speed can be expressed as,

S = d/t ....................... Equation 1

Where S = speed of the runner, d = distance covered, t = time.

Given: d = 100 meter , t = 9.580 seconds

Conversion:

If, 1 meter = 0.00062 miles

Then, 100 meters = (0.00062×100) miles = 0.62 miles.

Also

If, 3600 s = 1 h

Then, 9.580 s = (1×9.580)/3600 = 0.00266 hours.

Substitute into equation 1

S = 0.62/0.00266

S = 233.1 miles per hours.

Hence the runner speed is 233.1 miles per hours

Explain why a person who has runny nose is unable to detect smells clearly.

Orlov [11]

If you have a runny nose then the mucus will block the path that smell goes through. So if you are trying to smell a flower then you will have a hard time because the mucus is in the way, or blocking the entrance path. Hope this helps:)

A hill is 132 m long and makes an angle of 12.0 degrees with the horizontal. As a 54 kg jogger runs up the hill, how much work d

TEA [102]

Answer:

14523.55J

Explanation:

The work done by the jogger against gravity is given by the following equation;

$W=mgh.................(1)$

where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity taken as $9.8m/s^2$ and h is the height of the hill.

Since the length of the hill is 132m and it is inclined at 12 degrees to the horizontal, the height is thus given as follows;

$h=132sin12^o\\h=27.44m$

Substituting this into equation (1) with all other necessary parameters, we obtain the following;

$W=54*9.8*27.44\\W=14523.55J$
