She can climb 0.92 m without losing weight.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy consisting of the product of mass, gravity and height.

1 cal = 4184 J

140 cal = 585760 J

Energy = 585760 J,  m = 65.0 kg = 65000 g,   Efficiency = 20 %

                                 GPE = mgh

where m represents the mass

          g represents the gravity,

           h represents the height.

                             585760 = 65000 \times 9.8 \times h

                                        h = 0.92 m.

What happens in terms of energy when a moving car hits a parked car, causing the parked car to move?
meriva
This is an example Newton's Third Law. All the kinectic energy from the moving car transferred the potential energy of the parked car. This potential is not much since the brakes are on (hopefully) and it's not in a non-moving position.

My buddy and I have just finished a dive to 15 metres/50 feet for 60 minutes. We want to return to the same site and depth and s
marishachu [46]

Answer:

1) Periodically check the no stop or NDL time on their computers

2) The dive computer planning mode can be used if available

3) Make use of a dive planning app

4) Check data from the RDP table or an eRDPML

Explanation:

The no stop times information from the computer gives the no-decompression limit (NDL) time allowable which is the time duration a diver theoretically is able to stay at a given depth without a need for a decompression stop

The dive computer plan mode or a downloadable dive planning app are presently the easiest methods of dive planning

The PADI RDP are dive planners based on several years of experience which provide reliable safety limits of depth and time.

Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body while holding a 2.0 kg mass in each hand. She then spins aroun
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

a.) L = 2.64 kgm^2/s

b.) V = 4.4 m/s

Explanation: Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body. This will be considered as radius.

So,

Radius r = 0.6 m

Mass M = 2 kg

Velocity V = 1.1 m/s

Angular momentum L can be expressed as;

L = MVr

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

L = 2 × 1.1 × 0.6 = 1.32kgm^2s^-1

the combined angular momentum of the masses will be 2 × 1.32 = 2.64 kgm^2s-1

b. If she pulls her arms into 0.15 m,

New radius = 0.15 m

Using the same formula again

L = 2( MVr)

2.64 = 2( 2 × V × 0.15 )

1.32 = 0.3 V

V = 1.32/0.3

V = 4.4 m/s

Her new linear speed will be 4.4 m/s

A student sits at rest on a piano stool that can rotate without friction. The moment of inertia of the student-stool system is 4
irina [24]

Here We can use principle of angular momentum conservation

Here as we know boy + projected mass system has no external torque

Since there is no torque so we can say the angular momentum is conserved

mvL = (I + mL^2)\omega

now we know that

m = 2 kg

v = 2.5 m/s

L = 0.35 m

I = 4.5 kg-m^2

now plug in all values in above equation

2\times 2.5 \times 0.35 = (4.5 + (2\times 0.35^2))\omega

1.75 = [4.5 + 0.245]\omega

1.75 = 4.745\omega

\omega = 0.37 rad/s

so the final angular speed will be 0.37 rad/s
