Answer:

a. Potential energy of the sled is increased when height of sled is increased.

b. Potential energy of the sled is increased when height of sled is increased.

c. P.E₂₀ = 2 P.E₁₀

d. P.E₂₀₀ = 2 P.E₁₀₀

Explanation:

The potential energy of the sled can be given by the following:

$Potential\ Energy = P.E = mgh\\$

where,

m = mass of sled

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of sled

It is clear from the formula that potential energy of sled is directly proportional to the height of sled.

Therefore, potential energy of the sled is increased when height of sled is increased.

It is clear from the formula that potential energy of sled is directly proportional to the mass of sled.

Therefore, potential energy of the sled is increased when mass of sled is increased.

$P.E\ at\ 10\ m:\\P.E_{10} = 10mg\\P.E\ at\ 20\ m:\\P.E_{20} = 20mg\\\frac{P.E_{20}}{P.E_{10}} = \frac{20mg}{10mg}$

P.E₂₀ = 2 P.E₁₀

$P.E\ at\ 100\ kg:\\P.E_{100} = 100gh\\P.E\ at\ 200\ m:\\P.E_{200} = 200gh\\\frac{P.E_{200}}{P.E_{100}} = \frac{200gh}{100gh}$

P.E₂₀₀ = 2 P.E₁₀₀

The stopwatch used by a student to measure velocity of a pulse in a slinky was of least count 0.1 second. He stops the stopwatch

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Least count of the pulse stopwatch is given by

$\Delta t = 0.1 s$

this means each division of the stopwatch will measure 0.1 s of time

After 3 journeys from one end to other we can see that total time that is measured here is shown by the clock as 52nd division

So here total time is given as

Time = (Number of division) (Least count)

now we will have

$T = 52 \times 0.1s$

$T = 5.2 s$

Approximately how much air is in a column 1-cm2 in cross section that extends from sea level to the top of the atmosphere?

laila [671]

Approximately 101 N air is in a column 1-cm2 in cross-section that extends from sea level to the top of the atmosphere

The basic level for determining height and depth on Earth is the sea level. The ocean's surface tends to seek the same level since it is one continuous body of water. However, the sea level is never fully level due to winds, currents, river discharges, and changes in gravity and temperature.

At the equator, the radius of the Earth at sea level is 6378.137 km (3963.191 mi). At the poles, it is 6,356.752 km (3,949.903 km), and on average, it is 6,371.001 km (3,958.756 mi). The elevation of the shoreline—the boundary between the ocean and the land—is referred to as sea level. Land that is higher than this altitude is above sea level, and land that is lower is below sea level.

lianna [129]

Answer:

A) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases.

Explanation:

The complete question is

A merry-go-round spins freely when Diego moves quickly to the center along a radius of the merry-go-round. As he does this, It is true to say that

A) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases.

B) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed decreases.

C) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed remains the same.

D) the moment of inertia of the system increases and the angular speed increases.

E) the moment of inertia of the system increases and the angular speed decreases

In angular momentum conservation, the initial angular momentum of the system is conserved, and is equal to the final angular momentum of the system. The equation of this angular momentum conservation is given as

$I_{1} w_{1} = I_{2} w_{2}$ ....1

where $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ are the initial and final moment of inertia respectively.

and $w_{1}$ and $w_{2}$ are the initial and final angular speed respectively.

Also, we know that the moment of inertia of a rotating body is given as

$I = mr^{2}$ ....2

where $m$ is the mass of the rotating body,

and $r$ is the radius of the rotating body from its center.

We can see from equation 2 that decreasing the radius of rotation of the body will decrease the moment of inertia of the body.

From equation 1, we see that in order for the angular momentum to be conserved, the decrease from $I_{1}$ to $I_{2}$ will cause the angular speed of the system to increase from $w_{1}$ to $w_{2}$ .

From this we can clearly see that reducing the radius of rotation will decrease the moment of inertia, and increase the angular speed.

Natalie accelerate her skateboard along a straight path from 0 m/s to 4.0 m/s in 2.5 s. find her average acceleration

Vikentia [17]

Acceleration=(speed end - speed start)/ time
Data:
speed end=4 m/s
speed start=0 m/s
time=2.5 s

acceleration=(4 m/s - 0 m/s)/2.5 s=1.6 m/s²

Answer: the acceleration would be 1.6 m/s²
