A 25-kg child sits at the top of a 4-meter slide. After sliding down, the child is traveling at 5 m/s. How much PE does he start

with? How much KE does he end with? How much energy is lost to friction?

Daniddmelo says it right there, don't know why he got reported.

The potential energy (PE) is mass x height x gravity. So it would be 25 kg x 4  m x 9.8 = 980 joules. The child starts out with 980 joules of potential energy. The kinetic energy (KE) is (1/2) x mass x velocity squared. KE = (1/2) x 25 kg x 5 m/s2 = 312.5 joules. So he ends with 312.5 joules of kinetic energy. The Energy lost to friction =  PE - KE. 980- 312.5 = 667.5 joules of energy lost to friction.

Please don't just copy and paste, and thank you Dan cause you practically did it I just... elaborated more? I dunno.

During an isothermal process, 10 j of heat is removed from an ideal gas. What is the work done by the gas in the process?
Black_prince [1.1K]

The work done in the isothermal process is 10 joule.

We need to know about the isotherm process to solve this problem. The isotherm process can be described as a process where the initial temperature system will be the same as the final temperature. Hence, the internal energy change will be zero.

ΔU = 0

Hence,

ΔU = Q - W

0 = Q - W

Q = W

It means that the heat transferred is the same as the work done.

From the question above, we know that the heat transferred is 10 joule. Thus, the work done in the isothermal process is 10 joule.

An object is at rest. There are several forces acting on the object, but the net force is zero. If all the
pantera1 [17]
It would not. Imagine four forces equal in magnitude but opposite in direction (e.g. north, east, south, and west). If these forces were to double in magnitude they would still have the same magnitude, meaning the net force is still equal to zero.

Could you please explain to me Newton's second law of motion? Please I don't get it :/
MissTica

Answer:

Newton's second law states that when a body of mass m is accelerated with force f

then F=ma

this means acceleration of an object depends on both force with which it is moving as well as its mass

Increasing the amount of current that flows through a wire ______ the strength of an electromagnet
Anestetic [448]

Electromagnet is in form of solenoid

and the magnetic field due to solenoid is given as

B = \mu_0 n i

here

i = current in the loop

so when we increase the current in electromagnet the magnetic field of the solenoid will increase

this will increase the strength of the electromagnet

so the answer would be

<em>INCREASE</em>

What is it called when velocity changes over time
natka813 [3]
Well,

When an object's velocity changes, we call it acceleration.

Acceleration: The time rate of change in an object's velocity
