A 16.0 kg child on roller skates, initially at rest, rolls 2.0 m down an incline at an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. If th

ere is no friction between incline and skates, what is the kinetic energy of the child at the bottom of the incline?

The kinetic energy of the child at the bottom of the incline is 106.62 J.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the child, m = 16 kg</em>
  • <em>Length of the incline, L = 2 m</em>
  • <em>Angle of inclination, θ = 20⁰</em>

The vertical height of fall of the child from the top of the incline is calculated as;

sin(20) = \frac{h}{2} \\\\h = 2 \times sin(20)\\\\h = 0.68 \ m

The gravitational potential energy of the child at the top of the incline is calculated as;

P.E = mgh\\\\P.E = 16 \times 9.8 \times 0.68\\\\P.E = 106.62 \ J

Thus, based on the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy of the child at the bottom of the incline is 106.62 J since no energy is lost to friction.

Can someone explain to me #4.
nalin [4]
A) We balance the masses: 4(1.00728) vs 4.0015 + 2(0.00055)4.02912 vs. 4.0026This shows a "reduced mass" of 4.02912 - 4.0026 = 0.02652 amu. This is also equivalent to 0.02652/6.02E23 = 4.41E-26 g = 4.41E-29 kg.
b) Using E = mc^2, where c is the speed of light, multiplying 4.41E-29 kg by (3E8 m/s)^2 gives 3.96E-12 J of energy.
c) Since in the original equation, there is only 1 helium atom, we multiply the energy result in b) by 9.21E19 to get 3.65E8 J of energy, or 365 MJ of energy.

A jetliner flies at a constant speed covering 467 miles in 3.3 hours. What is the speed of the plane in miles per hour?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

141.152 miles per hour  is the speed of the plane in miles per hour

Explanation:

Speed of plane = Total distance travelled/total time taken -

v = D/t

Substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

v = 467/3.3 miles /hour

v = 141.152 miles per hour

141.152 miles per hour  is the speed of the plane in miles per hour
