Answer:

Friction is a resistive force to motion. When two bodies move against each other some of the kinetic energy is converted to heat energy due to friction. This reduces the total kinetic energy in the system.

A ski lift is used to transport people from the base of a hill to the top. If the lift leaves the

Liono4ka [1.6K]

The energy of the ski lift at the base is kinetic energy:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where m is the mass of the ski lift+the people carried, and $v=15.5 m/s$ is velocity at the base.
As long as the ski lift goes upward, its velocity decreases and its kinetic energy converts into potential energy. Eventually, when it reaches the top, its final velocity is v=0, so no kinetic energy is left and it has all converted into gravitational potential energy, which is
$U=mgh$
where $g=9.81 m/s^2$ and h is the height at the top of the hill.

So, since the total energy must conserve, we have
$U=K$
and so
$mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
from which we find the height:
$h= \frac{v^2}{2g}= \frac{(15.5m/s)^2}{2\cdot 9.81 m/s^2}=12 m$

The charge per unit length on a long, straight filament is -92.0 μC/m. Find the electric field 10.0 cm above the filament.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

E = 1.655 x 10⁷ N/C towards the filament

Explanation:

Electric field due to a line charge is given by the expression

E = $[tex]\frac{\lambda}{2\pi\times\epsilon_0\times r}$ [/tex]

where λ is linear charge density of line charge , r is distance of given point from line charge and ε₀ is a constant called permittivity and whose value is

8.85 x 10⁻¹².

Putting the given values in the equation given above

E = $\frac{92\times10^{-6}}{2\times3.14\times8.85\times10^{-12}\times10^{-1}}$

E = 1.655 x 10⁷ N/C

A ray of white light moves through the air and strikes the surface of water in a beaker. The index of refraction of the water is

Naily [24]

Answer:

except ii and iii

Explanation:

The angle of reflection is the angle to the normal the white rays strikes the water surface and it is the incidence angle. Since the white light is moving from less dense medium to a denser medium or a medium with a higher refractive index; the angle of refraction will be less than 30 degrees. Total internal reflection cannot occur because the white light is traveling from a less dense medium to a denser medium.
