Two children of about the same weight are playing at the playground. They both climb up to the top of a small tower. One slides back down to ground level on a frictionless slide. The other freely drops down from the tower. Both children start their trips back down to the ground with an initial speed of zero.

Which combination of statements below is most accurate? [Enter your answer as a string of the letter options you believe are correct. For instance, if you think options A, D, and E are correct, then enter "ADE"]

A) The work done by gravity on each child is positive as they climb the tower.
B) The children have different kinetic energies on reaching ground level
C) The work done by gravity on both children is negative as they descend from the tower.
D) The overall work done by gravity is zero.
E) None of the above

Copper has free electrons per cubic meter. a 71.0-cm length of 12-gauge copper wire that is 2.05 mm in diameter carries 4.85 a of current. (a) how much time does it take for an electron to travel the length of the wire? (b) repeat part (a) for 6-gauge copper wire (diameter 4.12 mm) of the same length that carries the same current. (c) generally speaking, how does changing the diameter of a wire that carries a given amount of current affect the drift velocity of the electrons in the wire?

The rigid beam is supported by the three suspender bars. bars ab and ef are made of aluminum and bar cd is made of steel. if each bar has a cross-sectional area of 450 mm2, determine the maximum value of p if the allowable stress is (σallow)st = 200 mpa for the steel and ( σallow)al = 150 mpa for the aluminum. est = 200 gpa and eal = 70 gpa.

The x-coordinate of a particle in curvilinear motion is given by x = 3.1t3 - 4.9t where x is in feet and t is in seconds. the y-component of acceleration in feet per second squared is given by ay = 2.3t. if the particle has y-components y = 0 and vy = 5.0 ft/sec when t = 0, find the magnitudes of the velocity v and acceleration a when t = 1.8 sec. sketch the path for the first 1.8 seconds of motion, and show the velocity and acceleration vectors for t = 1.8 sec. answers: v = ft/sec a = ft/sec2
