Answer:

As the person moves down the zip wire, her increase in kinetic energy is less than her decrease in gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Work is done against the air resistance, causing thermal energy to transfer to the surroundings

a hiker walks 200 m west and then walks 100 m north in what direction is her resulting displacement draw to show your answer

Sliva [168]

Answer:

The direction of the displacement is in North-West.

Explanation:

Resultant displacement D is

$=\sqrt{(200)^{2} + (100)^{2} } \\=223.60m$

Here the direction is

$\Theta =tan^{^{-1}}\left ( \frac{100}{200} \right )\\\Theta =26.6^{o}$

Then the direction is $26.6^{o}$ North-west.

If you fired a rifle straight upwards at 1000 m/s, how far up will the bullet get?

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

h = 51020.40 meters

Explanation:

Speed of the rifle, v = 1000 m/s

Let h is the height gained by the bullet. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

$h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$

$h=\dfrac{(1000\ m/s)^2}{2\times 9.8\ m/s^2}$

h = 51020.40 meters

So, the bullet will get up to a height of 51020.40 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires 165 N force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in motion, a 12

bazaltina [42]

The coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor is 0.67

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the chair = 25kg

Force = 165 N (F_applied)

Force = 127 N (F_max)

To find: Coefficient of static friction

The “coefficient of static friction” between a chair and the floor is defined as the ration of maximum force to the normal force acting on the chair

μ_s= $F_{max}/F_{n}$

The F_n is equal to the weight multiplied by its gravity

∴ $F_{n}$ =mg

Thus the coefficient of static friction changes as

μ_s= $F_{max}/mg$

μ_{s} = $=165N/((25kg)\times(9.80 m/s^2 ) )$

= 0.67

Monochromatic light is incident on a metal surface, and electrons are ejected. If the intensity of the light increases, what wil

drek231 [11]

Answer:The rate of ejection of photoelectrons will increase

Explanation:

If the frequency of incident monochromatic light is held constant and its intensity is increased, the rate of ejection of photoelectrons from the metal surface increases with increase in intensity of the monochromatic light. More current flows due to more ejection of photoelectrons.
