Catching a wave, a 77 kg surfer starts with a speed of 1.3 m/s, drops through a height of 1.65 m, and ends with a speed of 8.2 m

/s. How much non-conservative work was done on the surfer?

Answer:

Explanation:

The total work done by the wave is expressed as;

Workdone = Potential energy + Kinetic energy

Workdone = mgh + 1/2mv²

m is the mass = 77kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

v is the velocity = 8.2m/s

h is the height = 1.65m

Substitute into the formula;

Workdone = 77(9.8)(1.65) + 1/2(77)8.2²

Workdone = 1245.09 + 2588.74

Workdone = 3833.83Joules

Hence the amount of non conservative work done on the sofa is 3833.83Joules

Nikolas had an idea that he could use the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher to propel him on his skateboard.
Vikentia [17]
The Newton’s law Nikolas would use to come up with this idea is the <span>Third law that states:

</span><span>When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.
</span>
So, in this case, let's name the first Body A which is the skateboard and the second body B which is <span>the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher. Then, as shown in the figure below, according to the Third law:

</span>FA = -FB<span>

</span>

How does Newton's third law of motion describe forces?
svetlana [45]
I would say your answer is B, since Newton's 3rd law is, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
It's talking about pairs of actions. Sorry if I'm wrong.

A compact car has a maximum acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 when it carries only the driver and has a total mass of 1100 kg . you may w
nadya68 [22]

According to Newton`s  law. Force exerted by car,

F = m a = 1100 kg \times 2 m/s^2 = 2200 \ N

After adding an additional 400 kg of mass, the force will be same therefore the acceleration

F = 2200 \ N = (1100 \ kg + 400 \ kg)  a \\\\ a = \frac{2200 \ N}{1500 \ kg} = 1.47 \ m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration after adding the masses is 1.47 \ m/s^2.
