A child goes down a slide, starting from rest. If the length of the slide is 2 m and it takes the child 3 seconds to go down the

slide, what is the child's acceleration?

Answer:

<em>0.44 m/s^2</em>

Explanation:

initial velocity = 0  (since the child starts from rest)

distance covered by the child = 2 m (the length of the slide)

time taken = 3 sec

acceleration of the child = ?

using Newton's equation of motion

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

where s is the distance covered by the child

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time spent

substituting values, we have

2 = 0(3) + \frac{1}{2}a*3^{2}

2 = 9a/2

4  = 9a

a = 4/9 = <em>0.44 m/s^2</em>

3) The work done is D. zero

4) The kinetic energy is B. 180 J

5) The potential energy is A. 120 J

6) The work done depends on B. position

7) The example of non-renewable energy is C. coal

8) The power expended is 3\cdot 10^4 W

9) The efficiency is A. 100%

10) The velocity ratio is 5

Explanation:

3)

The work done by a force acting an object is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where :

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

When the force is applied perpendicular to the direction of motion,

\theta=90^{\circ}

Therefore, the work done is:

W=Fd(cos 90^{\circ})=0

4)

The kinetic energy of a body is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the body

v is its speed

For the girl in this problem, we have

m = 40 kg

v = 3 m/s

Therefore her kinetic energy is

K=\frac{1}{2}(40)(3)^2=180 J

5)

The potential energy of an object is given by

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass

g=10 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth of the object relative to the ground

For the ball in this problem,

m = 0.4 kg

h = 30 m

So, the potential energy is

PE=(0.4)(10)(30)=120 J

6)

A conservative field is a field for which the work done by the field on an object does not depend on the path taken, but only on the initial and final position of the object.

Gravitational and electric fields are examples of conservative fields. In fact:

  • When an object is pulled down by gravity (free fall), the work done by the gravitational field only depends on the change in height \Delta h between the two points, not on the path taken during the fall
  • When an electric charge is pushed by the electric field, the work done by the field depends only on the initial and final position of the charge in the field

For any conservative field, it is possible to define a "potential" function, which represents the energy per unit mass/charge, and depends only on the position of the object.

  • Non-renewable energy sources are sources of energy whose rate of consumption is faster than the rate at which they are re-created. Examples of non-renewable sources are coal, oil, natural gas. These energy sources are consumed at a fast rate, while they take million of years to regenerate, so at the current rate they will eventually run out.
  • Renewable energy sources are sources of energy that replenish at faster rate than the rate at which it is consumed. Examples of renewable sources are solar energy, wind, hydroelectric power.

Therefore, the example of non-renewable energy in this case is

C. Coal

8.

For an object pushed by a force F and moving at a constant velocity v, the power expended is given by

P=Fv

where F is the force and v is the velocity.

for the rocket in this problem, we have:

F = 10 N is the force propelling the rocket

v = 3000 m/s is its velocity

Substituting into the equation, we find the power expended:

P=(10)(3000)=30,000 W = 3\cdot 10^4 W

9.

The efficiency of a machine is given by

\eta = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{in}}

where

W_{in} is the energy in input to the machine

W_{out} is the useful work in output from the machine

For a real machine, the useful work in output is always lower than the energy input, because part of the energy is "wasted" and converted into thermal energy due to the presence of internal frictions. However, for an ideal machine, all the input energy is converted into useful work, so

W_{out}=W_{in}

And therefore the efficiency is

\eta=1

which means 100%.

10.

The velocity ratio of a block and tackle system is the ratio between the distance moved by the effort and the distance moved by the load.

VR=\frac{d_{eff}}{d_{load}}

In a block and tackle system, the velocity ratio is also equal to the number of pulleys in the system.

For the system in the problem, there are 5 pulleys: therefore, this means that when the effort moves 5 metres, the load moves 1 metres, therefore the velocity ratio is

VR=\frac{5}{1}=5

Anyone know how to do this?
MrMuchimi

The voltage from one side of the battery all the way around to the other side of the battery is 12v .

If 4 of those volts show up across the circle-thing, then the rest of the 12v ... 8v ... Must show up across the set of parallel rectangles.

To get that answer, I subtracted the 4 from the 12.

Just like it says in choice-C.
