Answer:

769,048.28Joules

Explanation:

A parachutist of mass 56.0 kg jumps out of a balloon at a height of 1400 m and lands on the ground with a speed of 5.10 m/s. How much energy was lost to air friction during this bump

The energy lost due to friction is expressed using the formula;

Energy lost = Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy

Energy lost = mgh + 1/2mv²

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

v is the speed

Substitute the given values into the formula;

Energy lost = 56(9.8)(1400) + 1/2(56)(5.10)²

Energy lost = 768,320 + 728.28

Energy lost = 769,048.28Joules

<em>Hence the amount of energy that was lost to air friction during this jump is 769,048.28Joules</em>

Answer:22.22m/s

Explanation:

Answer: 22.22 m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum:

Initial momentum of the system = final momentum of the system.

mu+m'u' = mv+m'v'

where u and u' are the initial velocities.

v and v' are the final velocities.

mass of bullet, m = 0.04 kg

mass of the block of wood, m' = 0.5 kg

initial velocity of bullet, u = 300 m/s

initial velocity of block, u' = 0

after collision, block and bullet would move together with velocity v

⇒0.04 kg × 300 m/s + 0 = 0.54 kg × v

⇒ v = 22.22 m/s

Thus, the bullet and the wood block move together as one object with the speed 22.2 m/s.

If you dropped a ball from a height of 10 m and measured its distance to the ground every 0.1 s, what would the graph of positio

wlad13 [49]

If you dropped a ball from any height, and measured its distance from the ground at any regular interval while it's falling, the graph of that distance versus time would be a graph that curves downward.

-- The ball is falling down. As time goes on, it gets closer and closer to the ground. Its remaining distance from the ground keeps decreasing, so the line on the graph slopes down.

-- The speed of the ball keeps increasing (it accelerates) because of the gravitational force on it. As time goes on, it covers more of the remaining distance during each interval than it did in the previous interval. The downward slope of the graph keeps increasing.

Each tire on a car has a radius of 0.330 m and is rotating with an angular speed of 11.7 revolutions/s. Find the linear speed v

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The linear speed of the car, v, is 24.26 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the car's tire, r = 0.330 m

angular speed of the car, ω = 11.7 revolutions/s

The angular speed of the car in radian per second:

$\omega = 11.7 \ \frac{rev}{s} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \\\\\omega = 73.523 \ rad/s$

The linear speed of the car, v, is calculated as;

v = ωr

v = 73.523 rad/s x 0.33 m

v = 24.26 m/s

Therefore, the linear speed of the car, v, is 24.26 m/s

Help please thank you

trasher [3.6K]

I believe the answer would be C because potential energy is affected by height and mass. The truck in photo C is the highest and has a lot of mass.

An ideal gas is allowed to expand isothermally from 2.00 l at 5.00 atm in two steps:

Burka [1]

Heat added to the gas = Q = 743 Joules

Work done on the gas = W = -743 Joules

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The Ideal Gas Law that needs to be recalled is:

$\large {\boxed {PV = nRT} }$

<em>P = Pressure (Pa)</em>

<em>V = Volume (m³)</em>

<em>n = number of moles (moles)</em>

<em>R = Gas Constant (8.314 J/mol K)</em>

<em>T = Absolute Temperature (K)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

Initial volume of the gas = V₁ = 2.00 L

Initial pressure of the gas = P₁ = 5.00 atm

<u>Unknown:</u>

Work done on the gas = W = ?

Heat added to the gas = Q = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h3>Step A:</h3>

<em>Ideal gas is allowed to expand isothermally:</em>

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

$5.00 \times 2.00 = 3.00 \times V_2$

$V_2 = 10 \div 3$

$V_2 = 3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Next we will calculate the work done on the gas:</em>

$W_A = -P_2(V_2 - V_1)$

$W_A = -3.00(3\frac{1}{3} - 2.00)$

$W_A = \boxed{-4 \texttt{ L.atm}}$

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Step B:</h3>

<em>Using the same method as above:</em>

$P_2V_2 = P_3V_3$

$3.00 \times 3\frac{1}{3} = 2.00 \times V_3$

$V_3 = 10 \div 2$

$V_3 = 5 \texttt{ L}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Next we will calculate the work done on the gas:</em>

$W_B = -P_3(V_3 - V_2)$

$W_B = -2.00(5 - 3\frac{1}{3})$

$W_B = \boxed{-3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Finally we could calculate the total work done and heat added as follows:</em>

$W = W_A + W_B$

$W = -4 + (-3\frac{1}{3})$

$W = -7\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}$

$W = -7\frac{1}{3} \times 101.33 \texttt{ J}$

$\boxed{W \approx -743 \textt{ J}}$

$\texttt{ }$

$\Delta U = Q + W$

$0 = Q + (-743)$

$\boxed{Q = 743 \texttt{ J}}$

$\texttt{ }$
