A bike rider does work to get to the top of a mountain. How could you use the law of conservation of energy to describe his trip

down the mountain? A. The rider uses energy to do work going up the mountain. B. This energy is converted to potential energy and then changes into kinetic energy on the way down. C. The bike rider's stored chemical energy allows him to move down the mountain, storing more and more energy as he goes. D.The bike rider gains electrical energy going up, which changes into electromagnetic energy on the way down.

The correct answer is (a.) The rider uses energy to do work going up the mountain. As the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy must be constant, therefore, the energy that is used to go up will be as it is to go down.

A bullet is fired into the air at an angle of 45°. How far does it travel before it is 1,000 feet above the ground? (Assume that
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

It travels 1414 feets.

Explanation:

Let's take the length the bullet travels <em>l </em>as the hypotenuse of a right triangle and the height it reaches one of its sides. Since we got the angle α at which it was fired and the height <em>h</em> it reached, we can calculate <em>l</em> using the <em>sin(α)</em> function:

sin(\alpha )=\frac{opposite side}{hypotenuse}\\sin(\alpha)=\frac{h}{l}\\l=\frac{h}{sin(\alpha)}

Replacing:

l=\frac{1000ft}{sin(\frac{\pi}{4})}

Solving and roundin to the nearest foot:

l=1414 ft

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 100m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 120 m horizontally aw
astraxan [27]

26.54 m/s  is the magnitude of its velocity just before it strikes the ground

h=100m,v=20m/s,g=9.8m/s

time it takes to reach the ground,

[t=\sqrt2h/g],[=\sqrt2*100/9.8=4.51s]

x= 120m

t= 4.52

v= x/t

v= 120/4.52

v= 26.54 m/s

The "speed at which an object changes its location" can be expressed using a vector number called velocity. Consider a person who moves swiftly while taking two steps forward and two steps back while remaining in one location. Velocity is a vector quantity. Therefore, velocity is cognizant of direction. The direction must be taken into account when determining an object's velocity. A speed of 55 mph is not enough information. The direction must be used to appropriately depict the item's velocity. Simply said, the direction of the velocity vector indicates the direction of motion of an object.
