Answer:

W = 2523.67 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of surfer, m = 77 kg

He starts with a speed of 1.3 m/s

It drops through a height of 1.65 m and ends with a speed of 8.2 m/s.

We know that, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. So,

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_2^2-v_1^2)\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 77\times (8.2^2-1.3^2)\\W=2523.67\ J

So, the required work done is equal to 2523.67 J.

If a 1 kg book has 46 Joules of gravitational potential energy how high is the shelf it is on?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

4.7m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the book  = 1kg

Gravitational potential energy  = 46J

Unknown:

Height of the shelf  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy is due to the position of a body above the ground.

        Gravitational potential energy  = mgh

m is the mass,

g is the acceleration due gravity  = 9.8m/s²

h is the height which is unknown

                       46  = 1 x 9.8 x h

                       h  = 4.7m

Why is the light bulb not a closed system?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:An incandescent light bulb gives only energy of the system in the form of heat. ... The roof of a house is stable but it receives energy from the surroundings and transfers energy through it towards lower temperature side which includes no mass transfer. So, it is best considered as closed system.
