Describe the energy transformations that take place when a skier starts skiing down a hill but after a time is brought to rest b

Andrews [41]2 years ago

<span>The skier will transform their gravitational energy into mostly kinetic energy (with a minor amount transformed into heat from the friction of the skis across the snow and air friction). Once the skier hits the snowdrift, their kinetic energy is transferred into the snow which moves when they strike it due to the kinetic energy that is now in the snow. Along with again a minor amount of heat energy transferred as they move through the snowdrift.</span>

A damped harmonic oscillator consists of a block of mass 2.5 kg attached to a spring with spring constant 10 N/m to which is app
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

0.5% per oscillation

Explanation:

The term 'damped oscillation' means an oscillation that fades away with time. For Example; a swinging pendulum.

Kinetic energy, KE= 1/2×mv^2-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

Where m= Mass, v= velocity.

Also, Elastic potential energy,PE=1/2×kX^2----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(2).

Where k= force constant, X= displacement.

Mechanical energy= potential energy (when a damped oscillator reaches maximum displacement).

Therefore, we use equation (3) to get the resonance frequency,

W^2= k/m--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(3)

Slotting values into equation (3).

= 10/2.5.

= ✓4.

= 2 s^-1.

Recall that, F= -kX

F^2= (-0.1)^2

Potential energy,PE= 1/2 ×0.01

Potential energy= 0.05 ×100

= 0.5% per oscillation.

Calculate the binding energy e of the boron nucleus 11 5b (1ev=1.602×10−19j). express your answer in millions of electron volts
nignag [31]
<span>Depends on the precision you're working to. proton mass ~ 1.00728 amu neutron mass ~ 1.00866 amu electron mass ~ electron mass = 0.000549 amu Binding mass is: mass of constituents - mass of atom Eg for nitrogen: (7*1.00728)-(7*1.00866)-(7*0.000549) -14.003074 = 0.11235amu Binding energy is: E=mc^2 where c is the speed of light. Nuclear physics is usually done in MeV[1] where 1 amu is about 931.5MeV/c^2. So: 0.11235 * 931.5 = 104.6MeV Binding energy per nucleon is total energy divided by number of nucleons. 104.6/14 = 7.47MeV This is probably about right; it sounds like the right size! Do the same thing for D/E/F and recheck using your numbers & you shouldn't go far wrong :) 1 - have you done this? MeV is Mega electron Volts, where one electronVolt (or eV) is the change in potential energy by moving one electron up a 1 volt potential. ie energy = charge * potential, so 1eV is about 1.6x10^-19J (the same number as the charge of an electron but in Joules). It's a measure of energy, but by E=mc^2 you can swap between energy and mass using the c^2 factor. Most nuclear physicists report mass in units of MeV/c^2 - so you know that its rest mass energy is that number in MeV.</span>

The magnetic field at the earth's surface can vary in response to solar activity. During one intense solar storm, the vertical c
Flauer [41]

Answer:

EMF = 33880 Volts

Explanation:

As per Faraday's law of Electromagnetic induction we know that

Rate of change in magnetic flux will induce EMF in the closed conducting loop

so we have

\phi = B.A

now we have

A = (110 \times 10^3)(110 \times 10^3)

A = 1.21 \times 10^{10}

now we have

\phi = B(1.21 \times 10^{10})

now the induced EMF through this loop is given as

EMF = (\frac{dB}{dt})(1.21 \times 10^{10})

EMF = (2.8 \times 10^{-6})(1.21 \times 10^{10})

EMF = 33880 Volts
