Jason takes off from rest across level water on his jet-powered skis. The combined mass of Jason and his skis is 75 kg (the mass of the fuel is negligible). The skis have a thrust of 200 N and a coefficient of kinetic friction on water of 0.10. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 48 s. What is Jason's top speed

81.1 m/s

Explanation:

The net force of Jason is T - f = ma where T = thrust = 200 N f = frictional force = μN = μmg where μ = coefficient of kinetic friction of water = 0.10, m = mass of Jason plus skis = 75 kg, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and a = Jason's acceleration

So, T - f = ma

T -  μmg  = ma

a = T/m - μg

susbstμituting the values of the varμiables into the equation, we have

a = 200 N/75 kg - 0.1 × 9.8 m/s²

a = 200 N/75 kg - 0.1 × 9.8 m/s²

a = 2.67 m/s² - 0.98 m/s²

a = 1.69 m/s²

Using v = u + at, we find Jason's velocity v where u = initial velocity = 0 m/s (since he starts from rest), a = 1.69 m/s² and t = time = 48 s

So, v = u + at

v = 0 m/s + 1.69 m/s² × 48 s

v = 0 m/s + 81.12 m/s

v = 81.12 m/s

v ≅ 81.1 m/s

So, Jason's top speed is 81.1 m/s

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this

d. platinum would have the greatest temperature increase because it has the lowest specific heat.
