Answer:

Her altitude as she crosses the bar, h₂ is approximately 6.1 m

Explanation:

The given parameters of the motion of the pole vaulter are;

The mass of the pole vaulter, m = 57 kg

The speed with which the pole vaulter is running, u = 11 m/s

The speed of the pole vaulter when she crosses the bar, v = 1.1 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

From the total mechanical energy, M.E. equation, we have;

M.E. = P.E. + K.E.

Where;

P.E. = The potential energy of the motion = m·g·h

K.E. = The kinetic energy of the motion = 1/2·m·v²

By the principle of conservation of energy, we have;

The change (loss) in kinetic energy, ΔK.E. = The change (gain) in potential energy, ΔP.E.

ΔK.E. = 1/2·m·(v² - u²)

ΔP.E. = m·g·(h₂ - h₁)

Where;

h₁ = The ground level = 0 m

h₂ = The altitude with which she crosses the bar

∴ 1/2·m·(v² - u²) = m·g·(h₂ - h₁)

(h₂ - h₁) = (v² - u²)/(2·g) = (11² - 1.1²)/(2·9.8) = 6.11173469388

h₂ = 6.11173469388 + h₁ = 6.11173469388 + 0 = 6.11173469388

h₂ = 6.11173469388

Her altitude as she crosses over the bar, h₂ ≈ 6.1 m.

Olivia wants to find out whether a substance will fluoresce. She says she should put it in a microwave oven. Do you agree with h
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Disagree.
Fluoresce objects will only glow when put under actual Ultraviolet light. This is due to the molecules becoming excited by the ultraviolet radiation.


Microwaves give micro-waves that are present in another spectrum of wave length and will not be able to fluoresce the molecules. If it’s not “ultra violet “.... it’s not going to glow.

2) Why do you think fossil fueled cars are still out numbering alternative and replacement fueled cars even though fossil fuels
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Fossil-fueled cars are still outnumbering the alternative and replacement-fueled cars because they are generally cost-effective and are efficient.

Explanation:

<em>Fossil fuels</em> are non-renewable energy that cannot be replenished. Although many people know how harmful using them can be to the environment, still, people continue to buy cars that are powered by it. This is because, <em>using fossil-fueled cars can help you save money</em> compared to using<em> replacement-fueled cars.</em><em> Its engines are also more powerful,</em> which means they can arrive at their destination in just a few minutes. <u>This makes it efficient.</u> The cost of maintaining a fossil-fueled car is less expensive compared to<em> replacement-fueled cars.</em> People are naturally keen when it comes to budgeting, thus, many people still buy cars powered by fossil fuels.

A truck using a rope to tow a 2230-kg car accelerates from rest to 13.0 m/s in a time of 15.0s. How strong must the rope be? μk
Leokris [45]

Answer:

The rope must have a force of 10084,21 N

Explanation

Acceleration calculation

The car acceleration is equal to the acceleration of the truck

ac: car acceleration\frac{m}{s^{2} }

at: truck acceleration\frac{m}{s^{2} })

ac = at= \frac{vf-vi}{t-ti}  equation(1)

Known information:

vi = Initial speed = 0, ti = initial time = 0

vf = Final speed = 13 \frac{m}{s}, t = final time =5 s

We replaced the known information in the equation(1):

ac = at = \frac{13-0}{15-0}

ac=ac=\frac{13}{15}  \frac{m}{s}

Dynamic analysis

The forces acting on the car are the following:

Wc: Car weight

N: normal force, road force on the car

Ff: Friction force

T: Force of tension

Car weight calculation:

Wc=mc*g

mc = Car mass = 2230kg

g = Gravity acceleration=9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Wc= 2230*9.8

Wc=21854 N

Normal force calculation:

Newton's first law

sum Fy= 0

N-W=0

N=W

N=21854 N

Friction force calculation (Ff):

We have the formula to calculate the friction force:

Ff = μk * N  Equation (3)

μk kinetic coefficient of friction

We know that μk = 0.373and N= 21854N ,then:

Ff=0.373*21854

Ff=8151.54 N

Calculation of the tension force in the rope (T):

Newton's Second law

sum Fx= mc*ac

T-Ff=mc*ac

T=2230(\frac{13}{15}) + 8151.54

T=10084,21 N

Answer: The rope must have a force of 10084,21 N
