Q

A 52.0-kg skater moves at 2.5 m/s and stops over a distance of 24.0 m. Find the skater’s initial kinetic energy. How much of her kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy by friction as she stops? How much work must she do to speed up to 2.5 m/s again?

A

1/2 mv^2
=1/2(52.0Kg)(2.5 m/s)^2 =160J

Speed Up
= 1/2(52.0Kg)(2.5 m/s)^2 - 1/2(52.0 kg)(0.00m/s)^2=+160J

Q

An 875.0-kg car speeds up from 22.0 m/s to 44.0 m/s. What are the initial and final kinetic energies of the car?

A

=1/2 mv^2
Initial Ki
Ki= 1/2(875.0kg)(22.0)^2 =2.12x10^5 J

Final Ki
1/2(875.0kg)(44.0)^2 =8.47 10^5J

Q

Conservation of Mechanical Energy in roller coasters.

A

The roller-coaster car is nearly at rest at the top of the first hill, and the total mechanical energy in the Earth-roller coaster car system is the system’s gravitational potential energy at that point. If a hill farther along the track were higher than the first one, the roller-coaster car would not be able to climb the higher hill because the energy required to do so would be greater than the total mechanical energy of the system.

17
Q

A car has a mass of 2000 kg and is traveling at 28 meters/second. What is the cars KE, in joules? .

A

784,000

18
Q

if mass increases
and distance stays the same
the force of gravity? e

A

increases

19
Q

Conservation of Mechanical Energy in skiing.

A

When you ski down a steep slope, you begin from rest at the top of the slope and the total mechanical energy is equal to the gravitational potential energy. Once you start skiing downhill, the gravitational potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy. As you ski down the slope, your speed increases as more potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy.

20
Q

two sentences about the relationship among mass, distance, and the force of gravity between two objects? e

A

if mass stays the same and the distance decreases the force of gravity between two objects increases

21
Q

what two factors keep the plants in orbit? e

A

inertia and gravity

22
Q

what statement is true about the moons orbit around the sun? e

A

earths gravity pulls the moon towards it and inertia keeps the moon moving ahead

23
Q

how does newtons first law of universal graviton apply to earth and the moon? e

A

earth pulls on the moon and every object attracts another object

24
Q

what is mass? e

A

Amount of matter in an object

25
Q

true or false: forces on earth are different from those elsewhere in the universe e

A

false

26
Q

A car has a mass of 2000 kg and is traveling at 28 meters/second. What is the cars KE, in joules? .

Q

A bike rider approaches a hill at a speed of 8.5 m/s. The combined mass of the bike and the rider is 85.0 kg. Choose a suitable system. Find the initial kinetic energy of the system. The rider coasts up the hill. Assuming friction is negligible, at what height will the bike come to rest?

A

=29.7m/s
=√(2)(9.80 m/s^2)(45.0m-40.0m)
9.90m/s
