A cave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. The lift i

s performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 12.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 2.90 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 2.90 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. How much work is done on the 77.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage

Answer:

a) 323.4J

b) 0J

c) -323.4J

Explanation:

a) W=Fd

F=ma

solve for acc. using kinematics

v^2=vo^2+2a(x)

8.41=2a(12)

4.205=a(12)

0.35=a

F=(77)(0.35)

F=26.95N

W=26.95*12...... W=323.4J

b) No acceleration, thus no force, thus no work!

c) W=Fd

F=ma

find acc. using kinematics: v^2=vo^2+2a(x)

0=(2.9^2)+2a(12)

0=8.41+2a(12)

-8.41=2a(12)

-4.205=a(12)

-0.35=a

F=(77)(-0.35)

F=-26.95N

W=(-26.95)(12)

W=-323.4J

Yes, work can be negative!

The mass of a golf ball is 45.9
Tema [17]
The equation for the de Broglie wavelength is: 
<span>λ = (h/mv) √[1-(v²/c²)], </span>
<span>where h is Plank's Constant, m is the rest mass, v is velocity, and c is the velocity of light in vacuum. However, if c>>v (and it is, in this case) then the expression under the radical sign approaches 1, and the equation simplifies to: </span>
<span>λ = h/mv. </span>
<span>Substituting, (remember to convert the mass to kg, since 1 J = 1 kg·m²/s²): </span>
<span>λ = (6.63x10^-34 J·s) / (0.0459 kg) (72.0 m/s) = 2.00x10^-34 m.</span>

Who is most likely to benefit from use of lithium?
Alexxx [7]
I think that the people who are most likely to benefit from lithium is people with bipolar disorder. Because there have been tests that recently show that they use it for patients with that disease.

15. A body moving with a velocity of 20 m/s begins to accelerate at 3 m/s2. How far does the body move in 5 seconds? A. 137.5 m
Rudik [331]

Answer is B. According to the equation of motion s = vt + 1/2 at2 Where s is distance covered, v is velocity, a is acceleration and t is time taken. So, by putting all the values, we get s = (20)(5) + 1/2 (3)(5)2 s = 100 + 1/2 (3)(25) s = 100 + 1/2 75 s = 100 + 37.5 s = 137.5 meters
