Running is a kinetic energy
maks197457 [2]3 years ago
3 0
When a person runs, their body must convert potential energy into kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy stored within a system. Potential energy is used when the system uses kinetic energy to move in a horizontal direction. In the human body, potential energy is stored in the form of chemical energy.

A Scooter travelling at 10m/s speed up to 20m/s in 4 sec.find the acceleration of scooter​
stira [4]

Answer:

2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

Initial speed ( u ) = 10 m/s

Final speed ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time ( t ) = 4 seconds

To find : Acceleration ( a ) = ?

Formula : -

a = ( v - u ) / t

a = ( 20 - 10 ) / 4

= 10 / 4

= 5 / 2

a = 2.5 m/s²

Therefore,

The acceleration of the scooter is 2.5 m/s²

In the following figure, if AB ǁ CD, then find the measure of PCD and CPD.​
mina [271]

Answer:

CPD = 80

PCD = 44

Explanation:

Given

AB || CD

BAD = 56

CPA = 100

See attachment

Required

Determine PCD and CPD

First, we need to calculate CPD

Since DPA is a straight line and CPA = 100;

We have that:

CPA + CPD = 180 --- angle on a straight theorem

Substitute 100 for CPA

100 + CPD = 180

Subtract 100 from both sides

100-100 + CPD = 180-100

CPD = 80

Next, we calculate PCD

We have that:

DAB= ADC = 56  --alternate angle

In triangle PCD

PCD + CPD + PDC = 180 --- angles in a triangle

Where

PDC = ADC = 56

So, we have:

PCD +80 + 56 = 180

PCD +136 = 180

Subtract 136 from both sides

PCD = 180 - 136

PCD = 44

Consider an object with s=12cm that produces an image with s′=15cm. Note that whenever you are working with a physical object, t
Leni [432]

A. 6.67 cm

The focal length of the lens can be found by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{s'}

where we have

f = focal length

s = 12 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

s' = 15 cm is the distance of the image from the lens

Solving the equation for f, we find

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{12 cm}+\frac{1}{15 cm}=0.15 cm^{-1}\\f=\frac{1}{0.15 cm^{-1}}=6.67 cm

B. Converging

According to sign convention for lenses, we have:

- Converging (convex) lenses have focal length with positive sign

- Diverging (concave) lenses have focal length with negative sign

In this case, the focal length of the lens is positive, so the lens is a converging lens.

C. -1.25

The magnification of the lens is given by

M=-\frac{s'}{s}

where

s' = 15 cm is the distance of the image from the lens

s = 12 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Substituting into the equation, we find

M=-\frac{15 cm}{12 cm}=-1.25

D. Real and inverted

The magnification equation can be also rewritten as

M=\frac{y'}{y}

where

y' is the size of the image

y is the size of the object

Re-arranging it, we have

y'=My

Since in this case M is negative, it means that y' has opposite sign compared to y: this means that the image is inverted.

Also, the sign of s' tells us if the image is real of virtual. In fact:

- s' is positive: image is real

- s' is negative: image is virtual

In this case, s' is positive, so the image is real.

E. Virtual

In this case, the magnification is 5/9, so we have

M=\frac{5}{9}=-\frac{s'}{s}

which can be rewritten as

s'=-M s = -\frac{5}{9}s

which means that s' has opposite sign than s: therefore, the image is virtual.

F. 12.0 cm

From the magnification equation, we can write

s'=-Ms

and then we can substitute it into the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{s'}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{-Ms}

and we can solve for s:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{M-1}{Ms}\\f=\frac{Ms}{M-1}\\s=\frac{f(M-1)}{M}=\frac{(-15 cm)(\frac{5}{9}-1}{\frac{5}{9}}=12.0 cm

G. -6.67 cm

Now the image distance can be directly found by using again the magnification equation:

s'=-Ms=-\frac{5}{9}(12.0 cm)=-6.67 cm

And the sign of s' (negative) also tells us that the image is virtual.

H. -24.0 cm

In this case, the image is twice as tall as the object, so the magnification is

M = 2

and the distance of the image from the lens is

s' = -24 cm

The problem is asking us for the image distance: however, this is already given by the problem,

s' = -24 cm

so, this is the answer. And the fact that its sign is negative tells us that the image is virtual.

A. What is the equation describing the motion of a mass on the end of a spring which is stretched 8.8cm from equilibrium and the
Naddik [55]

Answer:

a) x = 8.8 cm * cos (9.52 rad/s * t)

b) x = 8.45 cm

Explanation:

This is a Simple Harmonic Motion, and most Simple Harmonic Motion equations start from the equilibrium point. In this question however, we are starting from the max displacement the equations, and thus, it ought to be different.

From the question, we are given that

A = 8.8 cm = 0.088 m

t = 0.66 s

Now, we need to find the angular speed w, such that

w = 2π/T

w = (2 * 3.142) / 0.66

w = 6.284 / 0.66

w = 9.52 rad/s

The displacement equation of Simple Harmonic Motion is usually given as

x = A*sin(w*t)

But then, the equation starts from the equilibrium point at 0 sec, i.e x = 0 m

When you have to start from the max displacement, then the equation would be

x = A*cos(w*t).

So when t = 0 the cos(0) = 1, and then x = A which is max displacement.

Thus, the equation is

x = 8.8 cm * cos (9.52 rad/s * t)

At t = 1.7 s,

x = 8.8 cos (9.52 * 1.7)

x = 8.8 cos (16.184)

x = -8.45 cm
