A 30.0 kg child, initially at rest, slides down a 2.0 m tall slide. The child reaches the bottom of the slide with a speed of 6

m/s. There is friction between the child and the slide. Write a Law of Conservation of Energy equation to represent the transfer of energy from the top of the slide to the bottom. a. b. Use the equation from part (b) to calculate the energy dissipated by friction between the slide and the child? (g = 9.81 m/s) = 13​

Answer:

Explanation:

Total energy is constant

E = mgh + ½mv² + Fd

At the top of the slide, all energy is potential

E = mgh + 0 + 0

At the bottom of the slide, all potential energy has converted to kinetic and work of friction.

mgh = ½mv² + W

W = mgh - ½mv²

W = 30.0[(9.81)(2.0) - ½6²]

W = 48.6 J

why should society be concerned about continental drift and plate tectonics? What value does this research have for the public i
AleksAgata [21]
Humans should be concerned with continental drift and plate tectonics because these forces have a major impact on the environment and also lead to major natural disasters. Shifts in tectonic plates lead to earthquakes which can also cause things like typhoons or tsunamis. Therefore, begin knowledgeable about the locations of fault lines and areas with the high potential for natural disasters as a result of shifting plates is very important.

Two students stand poised to leap off a high dive structure into the swimming pool below. Student B is twice as massive as stude
iogann1982 [59]

Answer: option (D)

Explanation:

The potential energy of each of the students is given below as

P.E(student A) = mgh, where m = mass of student A, g is acceleration due to gravity and h = height of the high dive structure.

The mass of student B is twice as much as that of A, hence his mass is 2m and his potential energy is given below as

P.E ( student B) =2mgh = 2(mgh)

Recall that the relationship between potential energy and work done is that

Work done = - (change in potential)

For student A, work done = - mgh

For student B, work done = - 2mgh

From the equations above it can be seen that student B will do twice the work in getting to the high dive structure than student A hence validating option D.

¿Qué resistencia debe ser conectada en paralelo con una de 20 Ω para hacer una
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

60 Ω

Explanation:

R(com) = 15 Ω

1/R(com) = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 ..... + 1/Rn

1/15 = 1/20 + 1/R2

1/R2 = 1/15 - 1/20

1/R2 = (4 - 3) / 60

1/R2 = 1/60

R2 = 60 Ω

así, la combinada de resistencia necesaria es 60 Ω

Two different wave groups with the same height travel together in the same direction. The wavelength of one group is twice as lo
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

A combined wave of extra height will produce every other wave.

Explanation:

One wave Crest can catch up to another wave Crest if the group of waves are from different places.

Here the two group of waves have different wavelength but travelling together in the same direction so when they combine,they will produce every other wave.

A parachutist of mass 56.0 kg jumps out of a balloon at a height of 1400 m and lands on the ground with a speed of 5.60 m/s. How
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Efriction = 768.23 [kJ]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the principle of energy conservation. Where it tells us that the energy of a system plus the work applied or performed by that system, will be equal to the energy in the final state. We have two states the initial at the time of the balloon jump and the final state when the parachutist lands.

We must identify the types of energy in each state, in the initial state there is only potential energy, since the reference level is in the ground, at the reference point the potential energy is zero. At the time of landing the parachutist will only have potential energy, since it reaches the reference level.

The friction force acts in the opposite direction to the movement, therefore it will have a negative sign.

E_{pot}-E_{friction}=E_{kin}

where:

E_{pot}=m*g*h\\E_{kin}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

m = mass = 56 [kg]

h = elevation = 1400 [m]

v = velocity = 5.6 [m/s]

(56*9.81*1400)-E_{friction}=\frac{1}{2}*56*(5.6)^{2}\\769104 -E_{friction}= 878.08 \\E_{friction}=769104-878.08\\E_{friction}=768226[J] = 768.23 [kJ]
