Hi there!

Assuming the track is frictionless:

E_i = E_f\\\\PE = KE\\\\mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Cancel out the masses and rearrange to solve for velocity:

gh = \frac{1}{2}v^{2}\\\\v = \sqrt{2gh}\\\\

Plug in the given height and let g = 9.8 m/s²:

v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(57)} = \boxed{33.42 m/s}

Suppose a lion running at a velocity of 10 m/s east slows
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

a=0.34\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = 10 m/s

Final velocity, v = 0 (stops)

Time, t = 30 s

We need to find the acceleration of the lion.

We know that,

Acceleration = rate of change of velocity

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{10-0}{30}\\\\a=0.34\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the lion is 0.34\ m/s^2.

How does electromagnetic affect people in the world ?
tangare [24]
That depends on the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation.

-- If the waves are long, then we use them for radio, TV, and cellphones.

-- If the waves are shorter than that, then we use them for GPS in the car.

-- If the waves are shorter than that, then we use them to heat meatloaf
in the microwave oven.

-- If the waves are shorter than that, then they warm us and they
make our plants grow ... like the ones we eat.

-- If the waves are shorter than that, then our eyes use them to see with.

-- If the waves are shorter than that, then they tan our skin.

-- If the waves are shorter than that, then they can cause cancer on
our skin.

-- If the waves are shorter than that, then they can cause cancer and
other diseases in places inside our body.

Keith_Richards [23]

When all parts of a circuit are composed of conducting materials,
then it's possible for current to flow in the circuit, and we say that
the circuit is "closed".
