Sarah and her bicycle have a total mass of 40 kg. Her speed at the top of a 10 m high and 100m long hill is 5 m/s. If the force

of friction on her way down is 20 N, at what speed will she be going when she reaches the bottom

Answer:

She will be going at 11.01 m/s when she reaches the bottom.      

Explanation:

We can find the speed at the bottom by equating the total work with the change in energy:

W = E_{f} - E_{i}   (1)

There is no energy conservation because there is a force of friction on her way down.  

By entering W = -F_{\mu}*d, where F_{\mu} is the force of friction (is negative because it is in the opposite direction of motion) and <em>d</em> is the displacement, into equation (1) we have:

-F_{\mu}*d = E_{f} - E_{i}  

In the initial state, we have kinetic and potential energy and in the final state, we have only kinetic energy.

-F_{\mu}*d = \frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^{2} - (\frac{1}{2}mv_{i}^{2} + mgh)  

Where:

m: is the total mass = 40 kg

v_{f}: is the final speed =?

v_{i}: is the intial speed = 5 m/s

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height = 10 m

-20 N*100 m = \frac{1}{2}40 kg*v_{f}^{2} - \frac{1}{2}*40 kg*(5 m/s)^{2} - 40 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*10 m    

By solving the above equation for v_{f} we have:

v_{f} = 11.01 m/s      

Therefore, she will be going at 11.01 m/s when she reaches the bottom.                                    

                     

I hope it helps you!

A dentist uses a concave mirror (focal length 2.5 cm) to examine some teeth. If the distance from the object to the mirror is 1.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

2.28

Explanation:

From mirror formula,

1/f = 1/u+1/v .......... Equation 1

Where f = focal length of the mirror, v = image distance, u = object distance.

Note: The focal length mirror is positive.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = fu/(u-f)............ Equation 2

Given: f = 2.5 cm, u = 1.4 cm

Substitute into equation 2

v = 2.5(1.4)/(1.4-2.5)

v = 3.5/-1.1

v = -3.2 cm.

Note: v is negative because it is a virtual image.

But,

Magnification = image distance/object distance

M = v/u

Where M = magnification.

Given: v = 3.2 cm, u = 1.4 cm

M = 3.2/1.4

M = 2.28.

Thus the magnification of the tooth = 2.28.

A child has an ear canal that is 1.3 cm long. Assume the speed of sound is v = 344 m/s.
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The  frequencies are (f, f_1) =  (6615.4 \ Hz , 19846.2\ Hz)

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  length of the ear canal is  l = 1.3 \ cm  =\frac{1.3}{100}  =  0.013 \ m

   The  speed of sound is assumed to be  v_s  =  344 \ m/s

Now  taking look at a typical  ear canal  we see that we assume it is  a  closed pipe

   Now the fundamental harmonics for the pipe(ear canal) is mathematically represented as

            f = \frac{v_s}{4 * l }

 substituting values  

          f = \frac{344}{4 * 0.013 }

         f = 6615.4 \ Hz

Also the the second harmonic for the pipe (ear canal) is mathematically represented as

        f_1 =  \frac{3v_s}{4 * l}

 substituting values  

       f_1 =  \frac{3 *  344}{4 * 0.013}

       f_1 =   19846.2 \ Hz

Given that sound would be loudest in the pipe at the frequency, it implies that the child  will have an increased audible sensitivity at this  frequencies

Sherry and Ellen are talking about the factors that affect light scattering in the atmosphere. Sherry says one factor is the len
Delvig [45]

Sherry who says one factor is the length of the path of sunlight is correct.

<h3>Factors affecting light scattering</h3>

There are two main factors which affects light scattering, and they include the following;

  1. the size of the particles
  2. wavelength of the light

length of the path of sunlight is equivalent to wavelength of the light.

Thus, we can conclude that Sherry who says one factor is the length of the path of sunlight is correct.
