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

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely

Explanation:

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer  it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely. This done because there is a small bend in the mercury channel of a clinical thermometer that uses mercury. You must shake the thermometer to get the mercury from a previous reading from the thermometer back into the bulb for taking new reading. The bend prevents flow back into the tube so that one can comfortably take reading.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

(a) 17.37 rad/s^2

(b) 12479

Explanation:

t = 95 s, r = 6 cm = 0.06 m, v = 99 m/s, w0 = 0

w = v / r = 99 / 0.06 = 1650 rad/s

(a) Use first equation of motion for rotational motion

w = w0 + α t

1650 = 0 + α x 95

α = 17.37 rad/s^2

(b) Let θ be the angular displacement

Use third equation of motion for rotational motion

w^2 = w0^2 + 2 α θ

1650^2 = 0 + 2 x 17.37 x θ

θ = 78367.87 rad

number of revolutions, n = θ / 2 π

n = 78367.87 / ( 2 x 3.14)

n = 12478.9 ≈ 12479
