Answer:

h = 0.25 [m]

v = 3.26 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must remember that mechanical energy is defined as the sum of kinetic energy plus potential energy.

E1 = Ek + Ep

where:

E1 = mechanical energy = 25 [J]

Ek = kinetic energy = 17 [J]

Ep = potential energy [J]

25 = 17 + Ep

Ep = 8 [J]

Now the potential energy is defined by the following equation:

Ep = m*g*h

where:

m = mass = 3.2 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation [m]

8 = 3.2*9.81*h

h = 0.25 [m]

The velocity can be calculated by means of kinetic energy.

E_{k} =\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}\\17 =\frac{1}{2} *3.2*v^{2} \\v= \sqrt{\frac{17*2}{3.2} }\\v = 3.26[m/s]

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a) Frope= 71.7 N

b) Frope=6.7 N

Explanation:

In the figure the skier is simulated as an object, "a box".

a) At constant velocity we can say that the object is in equilibrium, so we apply the Newton's first law:

∑F=0

Frope=w*sen6.8°

Frope=71.71N

Take into account that w is the weight that is calculated as mass per gravitiy constant:

w=m*g

w=61.8Kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }

w=605.64N

b) In this case the system has an acceleration of 0.109m/s2.  Then, we apply Newton's second law of motion:

F=m*a

F=61.8Kg*0.109m/s2

Frope=6.73N

Korolek [52]

Answer:

f = pl / (l + p)

Explanation:

1/f = 1/p + 1/l

Find the common denominator of the right hand side.

1/f = l/(pl) + p/(pl)

Add:

1/f = (l + p) / (pl)

Take the inverse of both sides:

f = pl / (l + p)

The temperature inside my refrigerator is about 4 degrees C. If I place a balloon in my fridge that initially has a temperature
maksim [4K]

v

Convert the given temperatures from celsius to kelvin since we are dealing with gas.

To convert to kelvin, add 273.15 to the temperature in celsius.

T1 = 22 + 273.15 = 295.15 k

T2 = 4 + 273.15 = 277.15 k

V1 = 0.5 L

Let's find the final volume (V2).

To solve for V2 apply Charles Law formula below:

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

slega [8]
We will convert the 1dm3 in terms of cm3 as follows:

1dm^3 = (10 cm)^3
= 1000 cm^3

The mass of platinum is equal to 900 lb. 
Then we will convert the mass in terms of grams as follows:
1 lb = 453.6 g
900 = 900 x 453.6 g
= 408240 g

Then density of platinum is equal to 21.4 g/cm^3 
We will calculate the volume of platinum in mass 408240 g as follows:
Volume of platinum = mass of platinum / density of platinum
= 408240 g / 21.4 g/cm^3 
= 19076.6 cm^3  

The total volume of platinum is 19076.6 cm^3
The volume of platinum in 1 L bar is 1000cm^3
So, to calculate the number of bars we will use the formula as follows;
Number of bars = volume of platinum available / volume of platinum required in 1 L bar
= 19076.6 cm^3 / 1000 cm^3
= 19
So, the number of bars are 19.
