Suppose the ski patrol lowers a rescue sled carrying an injured skier, with a combined mass of 97.5 kg, down a 60.0-degree slope

at a constant speed, as shown in the Figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and snow is 0.100.
a) How much work, in joules, is done by friction as the sled moved 28 m along the hill?
b) How much work, in joules, is done by the rope on the sled this distance?
c) What is the work, in joules done by the gravitational force on the sled?
d) What is the net work done on the sled, in joules?

a. 1337.3 J work, in joules, is done by friction as the sled moved 28 m along the hill.

b.21,835 J work, in joules, is done by the rope on the sled this distance.

c. 23,170 J   the work, in joules done by the gravitational force on the sled d. The net work done on the sled, in joules is 43,670 J.

       

<h3>What is friction work?</h3>

The work done by friction is the force of friction times the distance traveled times the cosine of the angle between the friction force and displacement

a. How much work is done by friction as the sled moves 28m along the hill?

ans. We use the formula:

friction work = -µ.mg.dcosθ

  = -0.100 * 97.5 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 28 m * cos 60

= -1337.3 J

-1337.3 J work, in joules, is done by friction as the sled moved 28 m along the hill.

b. How much work is done by the rope on the sled in this distance?

We use the formula:

Rope work = -m.g.d(sinθ - µcosθ)

rope work = - 97.5 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 28 m (sin 60 – 0.100 * cos 60)

                     = 26,754 (0.816)

                     = 21,835 J

21,835 J work, in joules, is done by the rope on the sled this distance.

c.  What is the work done by the gravitational force on the sled?

By using  the formula:

Gravity work = mgdsinθ

                    = 97.5 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 28 m * sin 60

                    = 23,170 J

23,170 J   the work, in joules done by the gravitational force on the sled .

       

D. What is the total work done?

By adding all the values

work done =  -1337.3 + 21,835 + 23,170

                 = 43,670 J

The net work done on the sled, in joules is 43,670 J.

A 37 N block rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the surface and the block ar
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of block = 37 N

Coefficients of static = 0.8

Kinetic friction = 0.4

Tension = 24 N

We need to calculate the maximum friction force

Using formula of friction force

f=\mu mg

Put the value into the formula

f=0.8\times37

f=29.6\ N

So, the tension must exceeds 29.6 N for the block to move

We need to calculate the frictional force acting on the block

Using formula of frictional force

f = \mu N

Put the value in to the formula

f=0.4\times37

f=14.8\ N

Hence, The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

he cans have essentially the same size, shape, and mass. Which can has more energy at the bottom of the ramp
stepladder [879]

Answer:

c. both have same energy

Explanation:

The complete question is

suppose you have two cans, one with milk, and the other with refried beans. The cans have essentially the same size, shape, and mass. If you release both cans at the same time, on a downhill ramp, which can has more energy at the bottom of the ramp? ignore friction and air resistance..

a. can with beans

b. can with milk

c. both have same energy

please explain your answer

Since both cans have the same size, shape, and mass, and they are released at the same height above the ramp, they'll possess the same amount of mechanical energy. This is because their mechanical energy, which is the combination of their potential and kinetic energy are both dependent on their mass. Also, having the same physical quantities like their size and shape means that they will experience the same environmental or physical factors, which will be balanced for both.

What happens in a tug of war if the net forces are balanced and why?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Balanced forces are responsible for unchanging motion. Balanced forces are forces where the effect of one force is cancelled out by another. A tug of war, where each team is pulling equally on the rope, is an example of balanced forces. The forces exerted on the rope are equal in size and opposite in direction.

 Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.Displacement<span> is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

</span>To calculate displacement<span>, simply draw a vector from your starting point to your final position and solve for the length of this line. If your starting and ending position are the same, like your circular 5K route, then your </span>displacement<span> is 0. In physics, </span>displacement<span> is represented by Δs.
 
 For me to solve this I would need to know the time, but I can give you a handy displacement calculator I used that helped me.

What is the centripetal acceleration of the earth as it travels around the sun when Earth has an orbital radius of 1.5 x 10^11 m
masya89 [10]

Answer: 0.0058 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration a_{C} is calculated by the following equation:

a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}

Where:

V=29.7 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=29700 m/s is the Earth's orbital speed

r=1.5(10)^{11} m is the orbital radius

a_{C}=\frac{(29700 m/s)^{2}}{1.5(10)^{11} m}

a_{C}=0.0058 m/s^{2}
