Which of the following statements are true? a. When you jump into the air, the floor does work on you, increasing your mechanical energy. b. Work done by frictional forces must always decrease the total mechanical energy of a system c. Compressing a given spring 2.0 cm from its unstressed length takes more work than stretching it 2.0 cm from its unstressed length d. None of these statements are true. e. The total energy of a system cannot change.

Answer from: xmanavongrove55

Answer & Explanation :

a) No work done by frictional force accelerates a system like(spurter, spinter, runner etc ) which increases the total mechanical energy of the system. The given statement is false.

c) External force acting on the system, can do mechanical work , which changes the total energy of the system.The given statement is false.

d)Work done on the spring (W=1/2k(dx)2), from the equation work done proportional to square of compression or elongation. From the given data both elongationa and compression is same, work done is same.The given statement is false.

e)When you jump into air , work must be done againest gravity. Increase in mechanical energy of the jumper is its internal energy and not from the floor.The given statement is false.

Therefore,None of these statements are true.(b is correct)

Answer from: kxngtj3

The answer is: d. None of these statements are true.

Explanation:

a) When jumping in the air, the work is done due to gravity, therefore, the increase in mechanical energy is equal to the internal energy, therefore it is false.

b) No work done by friction force accelerates a system due to an increase in total mechanical energy, therefore it is false.

c) The work done by the spring from a work done proportionally equal to the square of the compression. According to the data provided, the elongation and compression are exactly the same and therefore the work done is the same, therefore it is false.

e) The external force acting on a system can perform mechanical work, thus changing the total energy, therefore it is false.

Answer from: Quest

the simple machine has three main features. they are:

loadfulcrumeffort

fulcrum is the center point or pivot point of the machine. effort is input force/ applied force. load is external force/ output.

the keisha 's machine labels are

x : load

y: fulcrum

z: lever

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?
