Answer: C. The case on the inclined surface had the least decrease intotal mechanical energy.

Explanation:

First and foremost, it should be noted that the mechanical energy is the addition of the potential and the kinetic energy.

From the information given, it should be known that when the block is projected with the same speed v up an incline where is slides to a stop due to friction, the box will lose its kinetic energy but there'll be na increase in the potential energy as a result of the veritcal height. This then brings about an increase in the mechanical energy.

Therefore, the total mechanical energy of the block will decrease the least when the case on the inclined surface had the least decrease intotal mechanical energy.

____ [38]

As per the question Bob drops the bag full with feathers from the top of the building.

The mass of the bag(m)= 1.0 lb

Let the air resistance is neglected.As the bag is under free fall ,hence the only force that acts on the bag is the force of gravity which is in vertical downward direction.

Here the acceleration produced on bag due to the free fall will be nothing else except the acceleration due to gravity i.e g =9.8 m/s^2


Here we are asked to calculate the distance travelled by the bag at the instant 1.5 s

Hence time t= 1.5 s

From equation of kinematics we know that -

                S=ut + 0.5at^2     [ here S is the distance travelled]

For motion under free fall initial velocity (u)=0.

Hence   S= 0×1.5+{0.5×(-9.8)×(1.5)^2}

           ⇒ -S =0-11.025 m

            ⇒ S= 11.025 m

                   =11 m

Here the negative sign is taken only due to the vertical downward motion of the body .we may take is positive depending on our frame of reference .


Hence the correct option is B.

When a car is 100 meters from its starting position traveling at 60.0 m/s., it starts braking and comes to a stop 350 meters fro
NISA [10]
Remember your kinematic equations for constant acceleration. One of the equations is x_{f} =  x_{i} +  v_{i}(t) + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}, where x_{f} = final position, x_{i} = initial position, v_{i} = initial velocity, t = time, and a = acceleration. 

Your initial position is where you initially were before you braked. That means x_{i} = 100m. You final position is where you ended up after t seconds passed, so x_{f} = 350m. The time it took you to go from 100m to 350m was t = 8.3s. You initial velocity at the initial position before you braked was v_{i} = 60.0 m/s. Knowing these values, plug them into the equation and solve for a, your acceleration:
350\:m = 100\:m + (60.0\:m/s)(8.3\:s) + \frac{1}{2} a(8.3\:s)^{2}\\&#10;250\:m = (60.0\:m/s)(8.3\:s) + \frac{1}{2} a(8.3\:s)^{2}\\&#10;250\:m = 498\:m +34.445\:s^{2}(a)\\&#10;-248\:m = 34.445\:s^{2}(a)\\&#10;a \approx -7.2 \: m/s^{2}

Your acceleration is approximately -7.2 \: m/s^{2}.

belka [17]

Answer:

<u>Informed Consent- The study didn't conform this ethical standard.</u>

<u>Debriefing- The study conforms this ethical standard.</u>

<u>Confidentiality- The study conforms this ethical standard.</u>

<u>Protection from harm- The study conforms this ethical standard.</u>

Explanation:

<u>Informed consent</u> is described as a procedure whereby researchers tend to provide details about specific research they are going to conduct, the risk & benefits involved in the study, different alternatives involved in the procedure, etc.

<u>Debriefing </u>is described as a process that is being conducted in any of the different psychological research encompassing human participants after specific research is completed. The researcher tends to describe the details of the research to the participants.

<u>Confidentiality</u> is described as one of the different code of ethics followed by health workers or psychologists. While practicing confidentiality, a psychologist tends to promise his or her participants that he or she will keep everything a secret whatever is being discussed or shared between both of them.

<u>Protection from harm</u> determines that the psychologists conducting research follows the ethics in which he or she has to protect all the participants from any kind of harm.
