A 58.0 kg snow skier is on the top of 351 m high hill. After she has gone down a vertical distance of 142 m, what is her mechani

cal energy? Explain your answer (CER)!

Nezavi [6.7K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Initially skier is at a height of 351 m . Her kinetic enery will be nil because she is at rest . Her potential energy will be calculated as follows

potential energy = mgh where m is mass , h is height and g is acceleration due to gravity

potential energy = 58 x 9.8 x 351

= 199508 .4 J

Total mehanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy

= 199508.4 J

According to conservation of mechanical energy , at the height of 142 m also total mechanical energy will be same . At this height some potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy but total of potential and kinetic energy will be same.

A 250 g air-track glider is attached to a spring with springconstant 4.0 N/m. Th damping constant due to air resistance is0.015
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

33.33 seconds

Explanation:

N=\dfrac{1}{e}N_0

N_0 = Initial length pulled = 20 cm

b = Damping constant = 0.015 kg/s

k = Spring constant = 4 N/m

m = Mass of glider = 250 g

Time period is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{0.25}{4}}\\\Rightarrow T=1.57079632679\ s

Using exponential decay formula

N=N_0e^{\dfrac{-bt}{m}}

Final amplitude = Initial times decay

\dfrac{1}{e}0.2=0.2e^{\dfrac{-0.015t}{2\times 0.25}}\\\Rightarrow 0.2=0.2e^{\frac{-0.015t}{2\cdot \:0.25}+1}\\\Rightarrow e^{\frac{-0.015t}{2\cdot \:0.25}+1}=1\\\Rightarrow \ln \left(e^{\frac{-0.015t}{2\cdot \:0.25}+1}\right)=\ln \left(1\right)\\\Rightarrow \left(\frac{-0.015t}{2\cdot \:0.25}+1\right)\ln \left(e\right)=\ln \left(1\right)\\\Rightarrow \frac{-0.015t}{2\cdot \:0.25}+1=\ln \left(1\right)\\\Rightarrow -\frac{0.015t}{0.5}=-1\\\Rightarrow -0.000225t=-0.0075\\\Rightarrow t=33.33\ s

The time taken is 33.33 seconds

Whic two types of cells are required during the process of osteogenesis
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Bone homeostasis involves multiple but coordinated cellular and molecular events. Two main types of cells are responsible for bone metabolism: osteoblasts (which secrete new bone), and osteoclasts (which break bone down).

Which of the following statements about jurisprudence is TRUE?
valentina_108 [34]
Theoretical study of law, principally by philosophers but, from the twentieth century, also by social scientists. Scholars of jurisprudence, also known as jurists or legal theorists, hope to obtain a deeper understanding of legal reasoning, legal systems, legal institutions, and the role of law in society.

Why is a protective apron or lab coat important to use when working with acids?
Oksanka [162]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Whether an acid is weak or strong it will cause harm if it comes in direct contact with the skin, eyes or mouth etc.

Thus, in order to prevent oneself, it is advised to wear a lab coat while working in laboratory as acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

Hence, a lab coat acts as a protective layer on the clothes so that even if acid falls on it then it might not reach the skin immediately and on time prevention can be taken.

Answer:

The representation of a chemical reaction in the form of substances is known as a chemical equation. The equation in which the number of atoms of all the molecules is equal on both sides of the equation is known as a balanced chemical equation.

The Law of conservation of mass governs the balancing of a chemical equation.

According to this law, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction and obeying this law total mass of the elements or molecules present on the reactant side should be equal to the total mass of elements or molecules present on the produc
