A 72.9-kg base runner begins his slide into second base when moving at a speed of 4.02 m/s. The coefficient of friction between

his clothes and Earth is 0.701. He slides so that his speed is zero just as he reaches the base. (a)How much mechanical energy is lost due to friction acting on the runner

Answer:

-589.05 J

Explanation:

Using work-kinetic energy theorem, the work done by friction = kinetic energy change of the base runner

So, W = ΔK

W = 1/2m(v₁² - v₀²) where m = mass of base runner = 72.9 kg, v₀ = initial speed of base runner = 4.02 m/s and v₁ = final speed of base runner = 0 m/s(since he stops as he reaches home base)

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

W = 1/2m(v₁² - v₀²)

W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg((0 m/s)² - (4.02 m/s)²)

W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg(0 m²/s² - 16.1604 m²/s²)

W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg(-16.1604 m²/s²)

W = 1/2 × (-1178.09316 kgm²/s²)

W = -589.04658 kgm²/s²

W = -589.047 J

W ≅ -589.05 J

The precision of a laboratory instrument is ± 0.05 g. The accepted value for your measurement is 7.92 g. Which measurements are
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

b)7.89 g  

c) 7.91 g

d) 7.97 g

Explanation:

The accepted value for the measurement is 7.92 g, while the precision of the instrument is 0.05 g. Therefore, the interval of the accepted values will be the central value plus and minus the precision, so:

- Minimum accepted value: 7.92 g - 0.05 g = 7.87 g

- Maximum accepted value: 7.92 g + 0.05 g = 7.97 g

So, the accepted interval is

7.87 g - 7.97 g

Therefore, all the values that lie within this interval are accepted. So the accepted values are:

b)7.89 g  

c) 7.91 g

d) 7.97 g

What is the dot product of a= -2i - 5j and b=i -4j
Dafna1 [17]
I.i = j.j = 1
i.j = j.i = 0

(-2i - 5j)(i -4j)
= (-2i).i + (-2i).(-4j) + (-5j).i + (-5j).(-4j)
= -2 + 0 + 0 + 20 = 18

If two balls have the same volume,
Lena [83]

Here, we are required to find the relationship between balls of different mass(a measure of weight) and different volumes.

  • 1. Ball A will have the greater density
  • 2. Ball C and Ball D have the same density.
  • 3. Ball Q will have the greater density.
  • 4. Ball X and Y will have the same density

The density of an object is given as its mass per unit volume of the object.

Mathematically;.

  • Density = Mass/Volume.

For Case 1:

  • Va = Vb and Ma = 2Mb
  • D(b) = (Mb)/(Vb) and D(a) = 2(Mb)/Vb
  • Therefore, the density of ball A,
  • D(a) = 2D(b).
  • Therefore, ball A has the greater density.

For Case 2:

  • Vc = 3Vd,

  • Vd = (1/3)Vc

  • Md = (1/3)Mc

  • D(c) = (Mc)/(Vc) and D(d) = (1/3)Md/(1/3)Vd

  • D(c) = D(d).

  • Therefore, ball C and D have the same density

For Case 3:

  • Vp = 2Vq and Mp = Mq
  • D(p) = (Mq)/2(Vq) and D(q) = (Mq)/Vq
  • Therefore, the density of ball P is half the density of ball Q
  • Therefore, ball Q has the greater density.

For case 4:

  • Mx = (1/2)My
  • Vx = Vy

Therefore, Ball X and Ball Y have the same density.
