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.

A 26-kg sled is on a snow-covered slope. The coefficients of friction between the sled’s runners and the snow are µs = 0.096 and µ
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of sled =26 kg

coefficient of static friction \mu _s=0.096

coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.072

In order to move sled from rest we need to provide a force greater than static friction which is given by

f_s=\mu mg=0.096\times 26\times 9.8=24.46 N

After Moving Sled kinetic friction comes in to play which is less than static friction

f_k=\mu _kmg=0.072\times 26\times 9.8=18.34 N

therefore minimum force to keep moving sledge at constant velocity is 18.34 N

“I know what the atomic number of this atom is, but I don’t know what the number of electrons is,” a friend says. How would you
liq [111]

Once the atomic number of an atom is known, the number of electrons can be deduced depending on if the atom is an ion or a neutral one.

<h3>Atomic number</h3>

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.

For atoms that are neutral, that is, no net charges, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. In other words, the positive charges always balance the negative charges in neutral atoms.

Thus, if the atomic number of a neutral atom is 6, for example, the proton number will also be 6. Since the proton must balance the electron, the number of electrons will also be 6.

Which choice correctly describes what happens during heating?
Masja [62]

Answer:

Option 4

Explanation:

During heating actually heat transfer takes place from a body at higher temperature to a body at lower temperature and the heat transfer takes place until both attain the same temperature  

Therefore heat transfer depends on the temperature of the systems

Now while comparing the thermal energies of the systems, if both the systems have same mass then the system which is at higher temperature has greater thermal energy when compared to the system which is at lower temperature

So in this case assuming that both the systems have same mass then the energy will leave the system with greater thermal energy and go into the system with less thermal energy as the system with greater thermal energy in this case will be at higher temperature and we are considering this assumption because thermal energy not only depends on temperature but also depends on mass of the system
