Accepted Answer

### Question 1:
# Answer:
Mechanical energy
# Brief Explanations:
Mechanical energy is defined as the sum of an object's kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (stored energy, like gravitational or elastic potential energy). So when we sum the net potential energies and net kinetic energy, we get mechanical energy.

### Question 2:
# Answer:
A force must be applied to an object, and the object must move in the direction of the force (or have a displacement component in the force's direction).
# Brief Explanations:
Work in physics is calculated as $ W = Fd\cos\theta $, where $ F $ is force, $ d $ is displacement, and $ \theta $ is the angle between them. For work to be done, there must be a force ($ F
eq 0 $) and a displacement ($ d
eq 0 $) with a non - 90° angle between them (so that $ \cos\theta
eq0 $), meaning the object moves in the force's direction (or has a component of motion in that direction).

### Question 3:
# Answer:
Power is the rate at which energy is transferred or transformed. Mathematically, $ P=\frac{\Delta E}{\Delta t} $, where $ \Delta E $ is the change in energy and $ \Delta t $ is the time interval.
# Brief Explanations:
In terms of energy, power tells us how quickly energy is being used, gained, or transferred. For example, if a machine transfers 100 J of energy in 10 s, its power is $ \frac{100\ J}{10\ s}=10\ W $, showing the rate of energy transfer.

### Question 4:
# Answer:
The work done is approximately $ 2299\ J $ (or $ 2.30\times 10^{3}\ J $)
# Explanation:
## Step 1: Recall the work formula for a force at an angle
The formula for work when a force $ F $ is applied at an angle $ \theta $ to the displacement $ d $ is $ W = Fd\cos\theta $. Here, $ F = 100\ N $, $ d=27.0\ m $, and $ \theta = 30.0^{\circ} $.
## Step 2: Calculate $ \cos(30.0^{\circ}) $
We know that $ \cos(30.0^{\circ})=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\approx0.8660 $
## Step 3: Substitute values into the work formula
$ W=(100\ N)\times(27.0\ m)\times\cos(30.0^{\circ})=(100)\times(27.0)\times0.8660 = 100\times27.0\times0.8660 = 2700\times0.8660 = 2298.2\ J\approx2299\ J $ (or we can round to three significant figures as $ 2.30\times 10^{3}\ J $)

### Question 5a:
# Answer:
$ mgh_{top}= \frac{1}{2}mv_{bottom}^{2}+E_{friction} $ (or $ PE_{g,top}=KE_{bottom}+E_{dissipated} $)
# Brief Explanations:
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that the initial energy (here, gravitational potential energy at the top of the slide, $ PE_{g}=mgh $) should equal the final energy. But since there is friction, some energy is dissipated as heat ( $ E_{friction} $ or $ E_{dissipated} $) and the rest is kinetic energy at the bottom ( $ KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} $). So initial gravitational potential energy = final kinetic energy + energy dissipated by friction.

### Question 5b:
# Answer:
The energy dissipated by friction is approximately $ 54.6\ J $
# Explanation:
## Step 1: Calculate initial gravitational potential energy
The formula for gravitational potential energy is $ PE_{g}=mgh $. Given $ m = 30.0\ kg $, $ g = 9.81\ m/s^{2} $, and $ h = 2.0\ m $. So $ PE_{g}=(30.0\ kg)\times(9.81\ m/s^{2})\times(2.0\ m)=30.0\times9.81\times2.0 = 588.6\ J $
## Step 2: Calculate final kinetic energy
The formula for kinetic energy is $ KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} $. Given $ m = 30.0\ kg $ and $ v = 6\ m/s $. So $ KE=\frac{1}{2}\times(30.0\ kg)\times(6\ m/s)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\times30.0\times36 = 540\ J $
## Step 3: Calculate energy dissipated by friction
From the conservation of energy equation $ PE_{g,top}=KE_{bottom}+E_{friction} $, we can solve for $ E_{friction} $: $ E_{friction}=PE_{g,top}-KE_{bottom} $. Substituting the values we found: $ E_{friction}=588.6\ J - 540\ J = 48.6\ J $? Wait, wait, let's recalculate:

Wait, $ m = 30.0\ kg $, $ g = 9.81\ m/s^{2} $, $ h = 2.0\ m $:

$ PE_{g}=30.0\times9.81\times2.0 = 30.0\times19.62 = 588.6\ J $

$ KE=\frac{1}{2}\times30.0\times(6)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\times30\times36 = 540\ J $

Then $ E_{friction}=588.6 - 540 = 48.6\ J $? But maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's check the velocity: the child reaches the bottom with a speed of 6 m/s. Wait, maybe the height is 2.0 m, but let's recalculate $ PE_{g} $:

$ PE_{g}=mgh = 30\times9.81\times2=588.6\ J $

$ KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\times30\times6^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\times30\times36 = 540\ J $

So the energy dissipated is $ 588.6 - 540 = 48.6\ J \approx49\ J $? Wait, maybe the problem has a typo or my calculation is wrong? Wait, no, let's check again. Wait, 30*9.81 is 294.3, times 2 is 588.6. 0.5*30*36 is 540. So 588.6 - 540 = 48.6 J. Maybe we can round to two decimal places or three significant figures. If we use $ g = 9.8\ m/s^{2} $ for approximation:

$ PE_{g}=30\times9.8\times2 = 588\ J $

$ KE = 0.5\times30\times36 = 540\ J $

$ E_{friction}=588 - 540 = 48\ J $. But the problem says $ g = 9.81\ m/s^{2} $, so 48.6 J is more accurate.

### Question 6a:
# Answer:
150 joules
# Brief Explanations:
Work done against gravity depends only on the vertical displacement (change in height) and the mass (since $ W = mgh $). When moving from A to B, the vertical displacement is 10.0 m (assuming B is 10.0 m above A) and work done against gravity is 150 J. When moving from A to C, the vertical displacement is also 10.0 m (since C is at the same height as B, as seen from the diagram: B is 10.0 m above A, C is 10.0 m above D, and A to C's vertical component is 10.0 m). So the work done against gravity is the same as from A to B, which is 150 J.

### Question 6b:
# Answer:
0 joules (or no work done against gravity)
# Brief Explanations:
When moving from A to D, the vertical displacement is zero (D is at the same height as A, since B is 10.0 m above A and D is 10.0 m below C, and C is at the same height as B). Work done against gravity is $ W = mgh $, and since $ h = 0 $ (no change in height), the work done against gravity is 0 joules.

### Question 7:
# Answer:
When speed doubles, kinetic energy quadruples; when speed triples, kinetic energy becomes nine times larger.
# Brief Explanations:
Kinetic energy is given by the formula $ KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} $. Let the initial speed be $ v $, so initial $ KE_{1}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} $. If speed doubles to $ v_{2} = 2v $, then $ KE_{2}=\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}m\times4v^{2}=4\times(\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}) = 4KE_{1} $. If speed triples to $ v_{3}=3v $, then $ KE_{3}=\frac{1}{2}m(3v)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}m\times9v^{2}=9\times(\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}) = 9KE_{1} $. So kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed.
