The skateboarder in the drawing starts down the left side of the ramp with an initial speed of 7.03 m/s. neglect nonconservative forces, such as friction and air resistance, and find the height h of the highest point reached by the skateboarder on the right side of the ramp. (g = 9.80 m/s2)

Answer from: SweetBriar

h=5.04m

Explanation:

At the bigining he has only kinetic energy because he is at the lowest point. When he is at the highest point, he is no longer moving because he will start moving downwards: all his kinetic energy transformed into potential gravitational energy:

E_k=E_p

$\frac{mv^2}{2}=mgh\\ h= \frac{v^2}{g}$

h=5.04m

Answer from: granniejo

The height of the highest point reached by the skateboarder on the right side of the ramp is h=2.52m

Explanation:

In this problem, we use the Energy Conservation Principle, as there are not nonconservative forces, the energy is constant and we will call it E. Then, we choose two different moments that will be advantageous for our analysis.

The first moment is the moment where the skateboarder is situated at the height 0 meters (meaning that the potential energy is zero), i.e, the energy is totally kinetic. We will call it K.

The second moment is the moment where the skateboarder is situated at the highest point reached, this means that all energy will be potential, because for an instant, the velocity of the skateboarder is zero (and in the following instant he will go back the way he came due to the pull of gravity). We will call it V. This is the point with the height that we want to calculate.

Therefore, we can equalize both energies, as they are constant and equal to E. We write

$E=K=V=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =mgh\Leftrightarrow \frac{1}{2}v^2=gh\Leftrightarrow h=\frac{v^2}{2g}$

Now, we can replace the given data, to obtain

$h=\frac{7.03^2}{2*9.80}m=2.52m$

which is the outcome.

Answer from: Quest

potential energy is directly proportional to height.

more height = more potential energy.

greatest increase in height = greatest increase in potential energy

where are the points with the greatest increase in height ?

has to be c-e or d-e .

Look at the pendulum diagram between which points does the pendulum’s potential energy increase most

Answer from: Quest

the answer is f1 and d2 because if you put equal force on those two points the beam would balance trust me on this

James is trying to prove newton's 2nd law of motion. he tries to move four different objects with different masses, shapes, and sizes from point a to point b. the objects are a toy car, a car, a refrigerator, and a kitchen table. after some experimentation, he finds that force is dependent on the mass of the object, rather than it's size or shape. the object that takes the most force to move is the

This is important 1. what happens to the speed of molecules in water vapor when it condenses to form a liquid? (2 points) the molecules slow down. the molecules speed up. the molecules slow down and then speed up. the molecules speed up and then slow down. 2. how might human activities change to compensate for a decrease in water supplies? (2 points) humans might build a factory. humans might build drainage systems. humans might extract more water from the ground. human behavior does not change because of the water cycle. i'll be grateful if anyone can answer these 2 questions !

The average time that it takes for the car to travel the first 0.25m is s. the average time to travel just between 0.25 m and 0.50 m is s. given the time taken to travel the second 0.25 m section, the velocity would be m/s.
