Question:

exis [7]

Answer:

She can swing 1.0 m high.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The mechanical energy of Jane (ME) can be calculated by adding her gravitational potential (PE) plus her kinetic energy (KE).

The kinetic energy is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

And the potential energy:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of Jane.

v = velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²).

h = height.

Then:

ME = KE + PE

Initially, Jane is running on the surface on which we assume that the gravitational potential energy of Jane is zero (the height is zero). Then:

ME = KE + PE (PE = 0)

ME = KE

ME = 1/2 · m · (4.5 m/s)²

ME = m · 10.125 m²/s²

When Jane reaches the maximum height, its velocity is zero (all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy). Then, the mechanical energy will be:

ME = KE + PE (KE = 0)

ME = PE

ME = m · 9.8 m/s² · h

Then, equallizing both expressions of ME and solving for h:

m · 10.125 m²/s² = m · 9.8 m/s² · h

10.125 m²/s² / 9.8 m/s² = h

h = 1.0 m

She can swing 1.0 m high (if we neglect dissipative forces such as air resistance).

(a) At what height above Earth’s surface is the energy required to lift a satellite to that height equal to the kinetic energy r

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy at earth surface $U_1=\frac{GM_em}{R_e}$

Gravitational Potential Energy at height h is $U_2=\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}$

Energy required to lift the satellite $E_1=U_1-U_2$

$E_1=\frac{GM_em}{R_e}-\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}$

Now Energy required to orbit around the earth

$E_2=\frac{1}{2}mv_{orbit}^2=\frac{GM_2m}{2(R_e+h)}$

$\Delta E=E_1-E_2$

$\Delta E=\frac{GM_em}{R_e}-\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}-\frac{GM_2m}{2(R_e+h)}$

$E_1=E_2$ (given)

$\frac{GM_em}{R_e}-\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}-\frac{GM_2m}{2(R_e+h)}=0$

$\frac{1}{R_e}-\frac{3}{2(R_e+h)}=0$

$h=\frac{R_e}{2}$

$h=3.19\times 10^6\ m$

(b)For greater height $E_1$ is greater than $E_2$

thus energy to lift the satellite is more than orbiting around earth

A fan that is switched on for 1 minute uses 500 W usefully but also wastes 300 W through the emission of sound and heat. What's

koban [17]

Explanation:

Efficiency is defined as the ratio between the useful output over the total amount consumed. $E = \frac{useful}{total}$

The fan does 500W of useful work while wasting 300 W. The total power consumption is 800 W (500 + 300).

marin [14]

Answer: The air is full of water, as water vapor, even if you can't see it. Condensation is the process of water vapor turning back into liquid water, with the best example being those big, fluffy clouds floating over your head. And when the water droplets in clouds combine, they become heavy enough to form raindrops to rain down onto your head.
