294000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of hill = 500m

Mass of Chris = 60kg

Unknown:

Potential energy increase = ?

Solution:

Potential energy is the energy by virtue of the position of a body.

  Potential energy = mgh

m is the mass of the bike

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

At the base of the hill,

    P.E = mgh = 60 x 9.8 x 0 = 0J

At the top:

    P.E = mgh = 60 x 9.8 x 500 = 294000J

Potential energy increase = 294000J - 0J = 294000J

Answer:

The extension is directly proportional to the force applied.

ex: if the force is doubled, the extension doubles. This works until the limit of proportionality is exceeded.

7. A child of mass m starts from rest and slides without friction from a height h along a curved waterslide (Fig. P5.46). She is
marissa [1.9K]

The mechanical energy of the girl will be conserved because the system is isolated and the initial potential energy will be equal to final kinetic energy.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

The change in the potential energy of the  launched from a height into the pool without friction from the given height h is calculated by applying the following kinematic equation.

ΔP.E = ΔK.E

where;

  • ΔP.E is change in potential energy of the child
  • ΔK.E is change in the kinetic energy of the child

mghf - mghi = ¹/₂mv²  - ¹/₂mu²

where;

  • m is the mass of the girl
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • hi is the initial height of the girl
  • hf is the final height when she is launched into the pool
  • u is the initial velocity
  • v is the final velocity of the girl

Thus, for every closed or isolated system such as this case, mechanical energy is always conserved because the initial potential energy of the girl will be converted into her final kinetic energy.

suppose the same amount of heat is applied to two bars. they have the same mass, but experience different changes in temperature
Andreyy89

If both bars are made of a good conductor, then their specific heat capacities must be different. If both are metals, specific heat capacities of different metals can vary by quite a bit, eg, both are in kJ/kgK, Potassium is 0.13, and Lithium is very high at 3.57 - both of these are quite good conductors.

If one of the bars is a good conductor and the other is a good insulator, then, after the surface application of heat, the temperatures at the surfaces are almost bound to be different. This is because the heat will be rapidly conducted into the body of the conducting bar, soon achieving a constant temperature throughout the bar. Whereas, with the insulator, the heat will tend to stay where it's put, heating the bar considerably over that area. As the heat slowly conducts into the bar, it will also start to cool from its surface, because it's so hot, and even if it has the same heat capacity as the other bar, which might be possible, it will eventually reach a lower, steady temperature throughout.

Which scientific activities will Juno conduct on its trip to Jupiter? Check all that apply.
Arisa [49]

Explanation:

Hope this helps,

Juno entered a polar orbit of Jupiter on July 5th 2016 UTC, to begin a scientific investigation of the planet. After completing its mission, Juno will be intentionally deorbited into Jupiters atmosphere. Junos mission is to measure Jupiters composition, gravitational field, magnetic field, and polar magnetosphere.
