The law of conservation of energy and describe the energy transformation that occur as you coast down a long hill on a bicycle a

nd then apply the brakes to make the bike stop bottom
Physics

Phantasy [73]3 years ago

As you coast down a long hill on your bicycle, potential energy from your height is converted to kinetic energy as you and your bike are pulled downward by gravity along the slope of the hill. While there is air resistance and friction slowing you down by a little bit, your speed increases gradually until you apply the brakes, causing enough friction to slow yourself and the bike to a stop at the bottom

1. why is<br> experimentation so important to science
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: to provide evidence to a theory

Explanation: Experimentation allows for multiple trials to provide evidence to a scientific theory. Without experimentation there would be no data to back up your hypothesis.

At an altitude of 5000 m the rocket's acceleration has increased to 6.9 m/s2 . What mass of fuel has it burned?
sergey [27]

1) Initial upward acceleration: 6.0 m/s^2

2) Mass of burned fuel: 0.10\cdot 10^4 kg

Explanation:

1)

There are two forces acting on the rocket at the beginning:

- The force of gravity, of magnitude F_g = mg, in the downward direction, where

m=1.9\cdot 10^4 kg is the rocket's mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

- The thrust of the motor, T, in the upward direction, of magnitude

T=3.0\cdot 10^5 N

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on the rocket must be equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration, so we can write:

T-mg=ma (1)

where a is the acceleration of the rocket.

Solving for a, we find the initial acceleration:

a=\frac{T-mg}{m}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^5-(1.9\cdot 10^4)(9.8)}{1.9\cdot 10^4}=6.0 m/s^2

2)

When the rocket reaches an altitude of 5000 m, its acceleration has increased to

a'=6.9 m/s^2

The reason for this increase is that the mass of the rocket has decreased, because the rocket has burned some fuel.

We can therefore rewrite eq.(1) as

T-m'g=m'a'

where

m' is the new mass of the rocket

Re-arranging the equation and solving for m', we find

m'=\frac{T}{g+a}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^5}{9.8+6.9}=1.8\cdot 10^4 kg

And since the initial mass of the rocket was

m=1.9 \cdot 10^4 kg

This means that the mass of fuel burned is

\Delta m = m-m'=1.9\cdot 10^4 - 1.80\cdot 10^4 = 0.10\cdot 10^4 kg

HELP PLEASE
4vir4ik [10]

Recall this kinematic equation:

a = \frac{Vi+Vf}{Δt}

This equation gives the acceleration of the object assuming it IS constant (the velocity changes at a uniform rate).

a is the acceleration.

Vi is the initial velocity.

Vf is the final velocity.

Δt is the amount of elapsed time.


Given values:

Vi = 0 m/s (the car starts at rest).

Vf = 25 m/s.

Δt = 10 s


Substitute the terms in the equation with the given values and solve for a:

a = \frac{0+25}{10}

<h3>a = 2.5 m/s²</h3>

Using a flowchart, discuss how a tsunami develops?​
Ahat [919]

Answer:

A tsunami is a sequence of particularly long water waves that can spread over very great distances and, as such, cause water to move.

When penetrating into areas of shallow water, the sea is compressed and thus piles up on the coasts to form several high tidal waves. These carry the water with great force far over the shoreline and usually cause great damage. During the subsequent retreat, the material carried away on the flooded land, often also people and animals, is mostly washed far out into the ocean.

Tsunamis occur as a result of sudden water displacement, such as when parts of the ocean floor are raised or lowered during an undersea earthquake or when large masses of earth and rock slide into the water as well as due to violent winds.
