A cyclist is standing still at the top of a hill and then begins to coast down the hill. The mass of the cyclist and bicycle is

64 kg total. The cyclist’s gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy with an efficiency of 52%. What is her speed when she reaches a point that is a vertical distance of 10 m lower than the point at which she started? Show all your work.

Answer:

10.1 m/s

Explanation:

52% of the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

0.52 PE = KE

0.52 mgh = ½ mv²

0.52 gh = ½ v²

v = √(1.04 gh)

v = √(1.04 × 9.8 m/s² × 10 m)

v = 10.1 m/s

Phantasy [73]

Torque is equal position vector times (r) times force vector (F).  Since F= 10 N and r = 0.1 m, so the torque is equal to (10 N) x ( 0.1 m) = 1Nm. The direction of the torque would be into the screen, clockwise rotation.

A particle at 9 AM is moving towards the east at 4 ms At 12 noon, it changes its velocity and starts moving towards the north un
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration and velocity are vectors

If east and north are the positive directions, the east moving vector is reduced to zero and the north moving vector increases from zero to 4 m/s.

There are 3 hours or 10800 seconds between 10 AM and 1 PM

a1 = √((-4)² + 4²) / 10800 = (√32) / 10800 m/s² ≈ 4.2 x 10⁻⁴ m/s²

There are 14400 seconds between 10 AM and 2 PM

The velocity changes are still the same

a2 = √((-4)² + 4²) / 10800 = (√32) / 14400 m/s² ≈ 3.9 x 10⁻⁴ m/s²

AlekseyPX

Answer:

The height of the wave is determined by the wind strength and fetch.

Explanation:

The height of the wave is determined by the wind strength and fetch.

The more the strength and the more the fetch size the more will be the height of the wave.

Remember as the wave approaches the coast its wavelength decreases and the wave height increases, whereas when the wave goes away from the coast its wavelength increases and height decreases.

A particle moves along a straight line with a velocity in meters per second given by v = 12 - 3t + 8t, where t is in seconds. Wh
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the velocity of a particle modeled by the equation

v = 13-3t+8t² where t is in seconds

Given t = 0 and position s = +5m

A) To get the position as a function of time, we will integrate the function with respect to t ad shown;

v = 13-3t+8t²

S = ∫13-3t+8t² dt

S = 13t-13t²/2+8t³/3 + C

at t = 0 and S = +5m

5 = 13(0)-13(0)²/2+8(0)³/3+C

5 = 0-0+0+C

C = 5

Substituting c = 5 into the displacement function

S = 13t-13t²/2+8t³/3 + C

S = 13t-13t²/2+8t³/3 + 5

B) acceleration is the change in velocity with respect to time.

a = dv/dt

Given v = 13-3t+8t²

a= dv/dt = -3+16t

a = 16-3t

C) acceleration at t = 6s is derived by plugging in t = 6 into the resulting equations in (B)

a = 16-3t

a = 16-3(6)

a = 16-18

a = -2m/s²

D) net displacement from t = 0 to t = 6s

At t = 0:

S(0) = 13(0)-13(0)²/2+8(0)³/3 + 5

S(0) = 0+5

S(0) = 5m

At t = 6s

S(6) = 13(6)-13(6)²/2+8(6)³/3 + 5

S(6) = 78-234+576+5

S(6) = 425m

Net displacement from t = 0s to t = 6s is s(6)-s(0)

= 425-5

= 420m

E) Total distance travelled D = S(6)+S(0)

= 425+5

= 430m

F) Average velocity = ∆S/∆t

Average velocity = S(6)-S(0)/6-0

Average velocity = 425-5/6

Average velocity = 420/6

Average velocity = 70m/s
