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.

A 1200 kg car reaches the top of a 100 m high hill at A with a speed vA. What is the value of vA that will allow the car to coas
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

the value of vA that will allow the car to coast in neutral so as to just reach the top of the 150 m high hill at B with vB = 0 is 31.3 m/s

Explanation:

given information

car's mass, m = 1200 kg

h_{A} = 100 m

v_{A} = v_{A}

h_{B} = 150 m

v_{B} = 0

according to conservative energy

the distance from point A to B, h = 150 m - 100 m = 50 m

the initial speed v_{A}

final speed  v_{B} = 0

thus,

v_{B}² = v_{A}² - 2 g h

0 = v_{A}² - 2 g h

v_{A}² = 2 g h

v_{A} = √2 g h

    = √2 (9.8) (50)

    = 31.3 m/s

A weightlifter lifts a 13.0-kg barbel from the ground an moves it a distance of 1.3 meters. What is the work se does on the barb
marta [7]

The work done on the barbell is -165.62 Nm.

Explanation:

Work done on any object is the measure of force required to move that object from one position to another. So it is determined by the product of force acting on the object with the displacement of the object.

In the present problem, the displacement of the object on acting of force is given as 1.3 m. And the weight of the object which is a barbel is given as 13 kg. As the work is to lift the object from the ground, so the acceleration due to gravity will be acting on the object. In other words, the force applied on the object to lift it should be in opposite direction to the acting of acceleration due to gravity.

Thus, Force = - Mass * Acceleration due to gravity = - 13 * 9.8 =-127.4 N

Now, the force is -127.4 N and the displacement is 1.3 m.

So, Work done = F*d

Work done = -127.4* 1.3 = -165.62 Nm

So, the work done on the barbell is -165.62 Nm.

Alyssa is carrying a water balloon while running down a field at a speed of 14 m/s. She tosses the water balloon forward toward
Luda [366]
From Alyssa's point of view, the water balloon is at first at rest and then gets thrown with a velocity of 23m/s. Therefore the balloon will have a speed of 23m/s for Alyssa.

At the same time, Naya is watching, and she sees the balloon at the beginning moving at a speed of 14m/s along with Alyssa, and then pushed forward of other 23m/s. Therefore, from her point of view, the balloon will have a speed of 14+23 = 37m/s.

Hence, the correct answer is <span>D) The speed of the balloon is 23 m/s for Alyssa and 37 m/s for Naya. </span>

Suppose you want to make a scale model of a hydrogen atom. You choose, for the nucleus, a small ball bearing with a radius of 1.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

A)  x _electron = 0.66 10² m , B)   x _Eart = 1.13 10² m , C)  d_sphere = 1.37 10⁻² mm

Explanation:

A) Let's use a ball for the nucleus, the electron is at a farther distance the sphere for the electron must be at a distance of

Let's use proportions rule

                x_ electron = 0.529 10⁻¹⁰ /1.2 10⁻¹⁵ 1.5

               x _electron = 0.66 10⁵ mm = 0.66 10² m

B) the radii of the Earth and the sun are

               R_{E} = 6.37 10⁶ m

                tex]R_{Sum}[/tex] = 6.96 10⁸ m

                Distance = 1.5 10¹¹ m

                x_Earth = 1.5 10¹¹ / 6.96 10⁸  1.5

                x _Eart = 1.13 10² m

C) The radius of a sphere that represents the earth, if the sphere that represents the sun is 1.5 mm, let's use another rule of proportions

            d_sphere = 1.5 / 6.96 10⁸  6.37 10⁶

            d_sphere = 1.37 10⁻² mm
