Answer: K.E = 8.3 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are

Height h = 169.2 m

Mass m = 0.005kg

From conservation of energy, at the top of the monument, the total energy will be kinetic energy which is equal to the potential energy. That is,

K.E = P.E

And

P.E = mgh

Where g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substitutes all the parameters into the formula

P.E = 0.005 × 9.81 × 169.2

P.E = 8.2908 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy (KE) of the nickel in her shirt pocket at the top of the monument is approximately 8.3 Joule.

A plane flies 1800 miles in 9 hours, with a tailwind all the way. the return trip on the same route, now with a headwind, tak

Fittoniya [83]

Initially its moving with tail wind so here the speed of wind will support the motion of the plane

so we can say

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}$

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{9}$

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = 200 mph$

now when its moving with head wind we can say that wind is opposite to the motion of the plane

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}$

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{12}$

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = 150mph$

now by using above two equations we can find speed of palne as well as speed of wind

$V_{plane} = 175 mph$

$v_{wind} = 25 mph$

In moving out of a dormitory at the end of the semester, a student does 1.20 x 104 J of work. In the process, his internal energ

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

(a) W=1.20×10⁴J

(b) U= -5.46×10⁴J

Explanation:

Given that student does 1.20×10⁴J work

(a) W=1.20×10⁴J

Work done by student,so positive sign

During the process, his internal energy decreases by 5.46×10⁴J.

(b) U= -5.46×10⁴J.

As the Energy decreases therefore negative sign

For (c) Q

We know the formula

$Q=W+U\\Q=1.2*10^{4}+(-5.46*10^{4} )\\ Q=-4.26*10^{4}J$

MariettaO [177]

<span>The middle life crisis occurs for men at age of 39 and for women at age of 44. At this age, people start realizing that they are getting older and experience some physical changes which seem distressful for them.</span>

<span> It affects the sense of accomplishment and progress in career. Due to a midlife crisis, people start engaging in activities to cope with the reality such as wearing clothes that are fashionable, dating someone etc. Yes, I think I will also go through one because it happens with everyone in this age. It can be avoided by accepting the fact that these changes are reality and everyone have to face it one day.</span>
