Answer: 4,998 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by

E_p=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the heigth of the object with respect to a reference point

In this problem, m=68 kg, g=9.8 m/s^2, and h=7.5 m is the heigth of the diver with respect to the surface of the pool. Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of the diver with respect to the surface of the pool is

E=mgh=(68 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(7.5 m)=4,998 J

A bus is moving and has 500000 joules of kinetic energy. The brakes are applied and the bus stops. How much work is needed to st
Bad White [126]
For the work-energy theorem, the work needed to stop the bus is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:
W=K_f - K_i
where
W is the work
Kf is the final kinetic energy of the bus
Ki is the initial kinetic energy of the bus

Since the bus comes at rest, its final kinetic energy is zero: K_f = 0, so the work done by the brakes to stop the bus is
W=-K_i = -500000 J
And the work done is negative, because the force applied by the brake is in the opposite direction to that of the bus motion.

A person in a kayak starts paddling, and it accelerates from 0 to 0.61 m/s in a distance of 0.39 m. If the combined mass of the
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

35.3 N

Explanation:

U = 0, V = 0.61 m/s, s = 0.39 m

Let a be the acceleration.

Use third equation of motion

V^2 = u^2 + 2 as

0.61 × 0.61 = 0 + 2 × a × 0.39

a = 0.477 m/s^2

Force = mass × acceleration

F = 74 × 0.477 = 35.3 N

A 12-pack of Omni-Cola (mass 4.30 kg) is initially at rest ona horizontal floor. It is then pushed in a straight line for1.20 m
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

a)  W = 46.8 J  and b)   v = 3.84 m/s

Explanation:

The energy work theorem states that the work done on the system is equal to the variation of the kinetic energy

    W = ΔK = k_{f} -K₀

a) work is the scalar product of force by distance

    W = F . d

Bold indicates vectors. In this case the dog applies a force in the direction of the displacement, so the angle between the force and the displacement is zero, therefore, the scalar product is reduced to the ordinary product.

    W = F d cos θ

    W = 39.0 1.20 cos 0

    W = 46.8 J

b) zero initial kinetic language because the package is stopped

    W -W_{fr} = k_{f} -K₀

    W - fr d= ½ m v² - 0

    W - μ N d = ½ m v

   on the horizontal surface using Newton's second law

     N-W = 0

     N = W = mg

 

     W - μ mg d = ½ m v

    v² = (W -μ mg d) 2/m  

    v = √(W -μ mg d) 2/m

    v = √[(46.8 -  0.30 4.30 9.8 1.20) 2/4.3 ]

    v = √(31.63 2/4.3)

    v = 3.84 m/s
