Water at the top of a slope has potential energy. true or false
ASHA 777 [7]
<span>The statement is TRUE. Water does have potential energy at the top of a slope. The reason why is that potential energy is energy possessed by a body based on its position relative to a zero point. In this case, water at the top of the slope is at an elevation above ground (zero point). The energy is not kinetic (moving) energy since the water is not moving.</span>

A brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 800.0 N on him. Th
ipn [44]

Answer:

a) F_{fric} = 692 N

b) F_{applied} = 932 N

Explanation:

a)

According to newton's second law of motion, acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it. When there is no net force force acting on the body, there is no acceleration. A force is a push or a pull, and the net force ΣF is the total force, or sum of the forces exerted on an object  in all directions.

F_{net}  ∝ a

F_{net} =  ma

F_{applied} - F_{fric} = ma

Given data:

F_{applied} = 800 N

Mass = m = 90 kg

acceleration = a = 1.2 m/s²

F_{fric} = ?

800 - F_{fric} = (90)(1.2)

F_{fric} = 692 N

b)

According to newton's second law of motion,

F_{net}  ∝ a

F_{net} =  ma

F_{applied} - F_{fric} = ma

Given data:

If we assume the same friction and acceleration between player's feet and ground as calculated in part a

F_{fric} = 692 N

acceleration = a = 1.2 m/s²

We take the equal mass to the total mass of both the players because when the winning player push losing player backward, he exert force on the ground not only due to his mass but also due to the mass of losing player.

Mass = M = m₁ + m₂ = 110 kg + 90 kg

= 200 kg

F_{applied} = ?

F_{applied} - 692 N = (200)(1.2)

F_{applied} = 692 + 240

F_{applied} = 932 N

An ice rink is 200 feet long and 85 feet wide. The four corners of the rink are rounded to a radius of 24 feet. What is the surf
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

16,506 ft²

Explanation:

There are different ways you can divide the area using rectangles and circles.  One way is to find the area of the entire width and length, then subtract the empty areas in the corners.

If we take the empty areas and put them together, we find their area is the area of a square minus the area of a circle.

A = (2r)² − πr²

A = 4r² − πr²

A = (4 − π) r²

So the area of the rink is:

A = WL − (4 − π) r²

A = (85)(200) − (4 − π) (24)²

A ≈ 16,506 ft²
