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?
Physics

Ronch [10]2 years ago
8 0

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

What is the Lorentz force law used for?
alexira [117]

Answer:

Lorentz force, the force exerted on a charged particle q moving with velocity v through an electric E and magnetic field B. The entire electromagnetic force F on the charged particle is called the Lorentz force (after the Dutch physicist Hendrik A. Lorentz) and is given by F = qE + qv × B.

A spring has a natural length of 28.0 cm. If a 23.0-N force is required to keep it stretched to a length of 36.0 cm, how much wo
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

0.23 J

Explanation:

k*(36 - 28) = 23

so k = 23/8 N/cm

W = k(32 - 28)²/2 = 23/8 * 4²/2 = 23 N-cm = 0.23 J

In a uranium fission reaction, uranium splits into two smaller atoms and energy. Where did the energy come from?
postnew [5]

Answer: C. Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

Explanation:

From Einstein's mass-energy relation:

E = mc²

Mass and energy are equivalent. Mass can be converted into energy and energy into mass.

When Uranium atoms under go nuclear fission, smaller atoms are formed and huge amount of energy is released. This energy comes from the mass difference of the uranium nuclei and new nuclei formed. This mass converted into energy according to Einstein's equation.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

R=803k\Omega

Explanation:

We have the following information,

V_0 = 12V\\V=10V\\c= 1.25*10^{-6}F\\t=1.8s

We apply the equation for capacitor charging the voltage across it,

V=V_0 (1-e^{-t/x})\\e^{-t/x}=1-(\frac{V}{V_0})\\-\frac{t}{Rc}=ln(\frac{V}{V_0})\\R=-\frac{t}{ln(\frac{V}{V_0})*c}

Replacing values,

R=-\frac{1.8}{ln(10/12)*1.25*10^{-6}}

R=803k\Omega
