Answer:

Options A and D

Explanation:

In this question the student needs to collect these measurements in order to approximate the work done

A. The mass of the student

D. The final vertical height above the initial vertical position.

Workdone = mgh

m = mass

g = gravity = 9.8m/s²

h = vertical height between the initial and the final positions.

The vertical height has to be known as gravity only acts straight down.

Cerrena [4.2K]
The answer for this problem would be:
Assuming non-relativistic momentum, then you have: 
ΔxΔp = mΔxΔv = h / (4) 
Δv = h / (4πmΔx) 
m ~ 1.67e-27 h ~ 6.62e-34,Δx = 4e-15 --> 
Δv ~ 6.62e-34 / (4π * 1.67e-27 * 4e-15) ~ 7,886,270 m/s ~ 7.89e6 m/s 
That's about 1% of the speed of light, the assumption that it's non-relativistic.

From 0 seconds to 4 seconds is the acceleration positive or negative?
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

From 0 -4 seconds the acceleration is positive. (The graph is going upwards.)

From 6-10 seconds the acceleration is negative. (The graph is going downwards.)

A 1,383 kg purple car is driving southbound on a road and collides with a 1,827 kg orange car, that was traveling 31.87 m/s east
user100 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply work energy theorem to calculate the initial velocity just after the collision .

Their kinetic energy will be equal to work done by friction .

force of friction = μ mg , where μ is coefficient of friction , m is total mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

force = .463 x 3210 x 9.8

= 14565.05 N

work done = force x displacement

= 14565.05 x 14.54 = 211775.88 J

now applying work energy theorem

1/2 m v² = 211775.88 , m is composite mass , v is velocity just after the collision

.5 x 3210 x v² = 211775.88

v² = 131.94

v  11.48 m /s

A parallel circuit has three branches. Each branch has a resistance of 37.5 ohms. The total current is 7.5 amps. What is the cur
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Current in each branch will be 2.5 A

Explanation:

We have given that a circuit has three branch each has a resistance of 37.5 ohm

We have also given that a total current of 7.5 A is flows through the circuit

As we know that in parallel circuit total current is the sum of current flowing through each branch

As the resistances of each branch is same so current will also be same

As there is 3 branches in circuit so current in each branch will be \frac{7.5}{3}=2.5A
