Answer:

ME=459,364J

Explanation:

Mechanical Energy=Potential Energy+ kinetic Energy

m=82kg,g=9.8N/kg,h=490m,v=40m/s

To calculate Kinetic Energy:-

KE=\frac{1}[2}mv^2\\=\frac{1}{2}\times82kg \times(40m/s)^2\\=65600J

To calculate Potential Energy:-

PE=mgh\\=82kg \times9.8N/kg \times490\\=393764

therefore,

ME=KE+PE\\=65600+393764\\=459364J

The skydiver's total mechanical energy is 459365J

<span>1.5 minutes per rotation. The formula for centripetal force is A = v^2/r where A = acceleration v = velocity r = radius So let's substitute the known values and solve for v. So F = v^2/r 0.98 m/s^2 = v^2/200 m 196 m^2/s^2 = v^2 14 m/s = v So we need a velocity of 14 m/s. Let's calculate how fast the station needs to spin. Its circumference is 2*pi*r, so C = 2 * 3.14159 * 200 m C = 1256.636 m And we need a velocity of 14 m/s, so 1256.636 m / 14 m/s = 89.75971429 s Rounding to 2 significant digits gives us a rotational period of 90 seconds, or 1.5 minutes.</span>

A free-falling golf ball strikes the ground and exerts a force on it. Which sentences are true about this situation? A golf ball
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The ground exerts an equal force on the golf ball

Explanation:

Third's Newton Law states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A".

In this problem, object A is the golf ball while object B is the ground, so we can say that:

- the golf ball exerts a force on the ground

- the ground exerts an equal and opposite force on the golf ball

A jogger runs 10.0 blocks do east, 5.0 blocks due South, and another two. Zero blocks do east. Assume all blocks are equal size,
Annette [7]

Jogger moves in three displacements

d1 = 10 blocks East

d2 = 5 blocks South

d3 = 2 blocks East

now we can say

total displacement towards East direction will be

d_x = 10 + 2= 12 blocks

Total displacement towards South

d_y = 5 block

now to find the net displacement we can use vector addition

d = \sqrt{d_x^2 + d_y^2}

d = \sqrt{12^2 + 5^2}

d = 13 blocks

<em>so magnitude of net displacement will be equal to 13 blocks</em>

Un tubo de acero de 40000 kilómetros forma un anillo que se ajusta bien a la circunferencia de la tierra. Imagine que las person
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

82.76m

Explanation:

In order to find the distance of the steel ring to the ground, when its temperature has raised by 1°C, you first calculate the radius of the steel tube before its temperature increases.

You use the formula for the circumference of the steel ring:

C=2\pi r    (1)

C: circumference of the ring = 40000 km = 4*10^7m (you assume the circumference is the length of the steel tube)

you solve for r in the equation (1):

r=\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{4*10^7m}{2\pi}=6,366,197.724m

Next, you use the following formula to calculate the change in the length of the tube, when its temperature increases by 1°C:

L=Lo[1+\alpha \Delta T]         (2)

L: final length of the tube = ?

Lo: initial length of the tube = 4*10^7m

ΔT = change in the temperature of the steel tube = 1°C

α: thermal coefficient expansion of steel = 13*10^-6 /°C

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

L=(4*10^7m)(1+(13*10^{-6}/ \°C)(1\°C))=40,000,520m

With the new length of the tube, you can calculate the radius of a ring formed with the tube. You again solve the equation (1) for r:

r'=\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{40,000,520m}{2\pi}=6,366,280.484m

Finally, you compare both r and r' radius:

r' - r = 6,366,280.484m - 6,366,197.724m = 82.76m

Hence, the distance to the ring from the ground is 82.76m
