Answer:

m = 788.2[kg]

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body is defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration by height. And it can be calculated by means of the following equation.

$E_{pot}=m*g*h$

where:

Epot = potential energy = 63405 [J]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81[m/s²]

h = elevation = 8.2[m]

Now replacing:

$63405=m*9.81*8.2\\m=788.2[kg]$

Which term means the distance between two bridge supports?

Ad libitum [116K]

The best answer is b - span.

A span is the distance between two bridge supports The supports may be towers, columns, or even the wall of a canyon.

There are many kinds of bridges but they all fall into three types namely beam, arch and suspension. The major difference between these three kinds of bridges is the distance that each can cross in a single span.

For example, a modern beam bridge is likely to span a distance of 200 feet, a modern arch can span 800 or 1000feet, and a modern suspension bridge can span up to 7000ft.

Answer:

a) $s \approx 6.676\,m$

Explanation:

a) Let assume that the ground is not inclined, since the bottom of the playground slide is tangent to ground. Then, the length of given by the definition of a circular arc:

$s = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot R$

$s=\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (8.5\,m)$

$s \approx 6.676\,m$

The bottom of the slide has a height of zero. The physical phenomenon around Dr. Ritchey's daughter is modelled after Principle of Energy Conservation. The child begins at rest:

$U_{g,A} = K_{B} + W_{fr}$
