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

Dahasolnce [82]
<span>A substance that accelerates the rate of chemical reaction is called a catalyst. It serves as an alternative pathway for the reaction product. The increase of rate of chemical reaction is because catalyst has low activiation energy than the original pathway. The low activation energy will increase the amount of molecules that can benefit in the energy created by the catalyst.</span>

When energy is added to a wave, how can the wave change?.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

When waves overlap in-phase (crest meets crest or trough meets trough) the waves energy is additive and the amplitude increases.

Explanation:

When waves overlap out-of-phase (crest meets trough) the waves cancel and the amplitude (energy) decreases. When two interfering waves cancel each other out.
