h

is observed to coast up a hill and stops at a height

21.5

m

above its starting point, how much thermal energy was generated by friction in

?

B. What is the magnitude of the average force in newtons of friction if the hill has a slope of

27

∘

above the horizontal.

a) 1.73*10^5 J

b) 3645 N

Explanation:

106 km/h = 106 * 1000/3600 = 29.4 m/s

If KE = PE, then

mgh = 1/2mv²

gh = 1/2v²

h = v²/2g

h = 29.4² / 2 * 9.81

h = 864.36 / 19.62

h = 44.06 m

Loss of energy = mgΔh

E = 780 * 9.81 * (44.06 - 21.5)

E = 7651.8 * 22.56

E = 172624.6 J

Thus, the amount if energy lost is 1.73*10^5 J

Work done = Force * distance

Force = work done / distance

Force = 172624.6 / (21.5/sin27°)

Force = 172624.6 / 47.36

Force = 3645 N

i think it’s a. this is because if they measured the mass of something with a mass of 150g, then their final answer would have to be approximately 150g. though all of their answers are almost 150, rosa and tran have the closest answers (or the exact answer) to the accurate one.

the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. solids can turn into gasses through a process called sublimation. sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.

hope this : d
