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?

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.

Starting at 1.0 m/s, a cheetah runs with a constant acceleration for 4.8 s reaching a speed of 28 m/s. What is the acceleration
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

c.5.6m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial velocity of cheetah,u=1 m/s

Time taken by cheetah =4.8 s

Final velocity of cheetah,v=28 m/s

We have to find the acceleration of this cheetah.

We know that

Acceleration,a=\frac{v-u}{t}

Where v=Final velocity of object

u=Initial velocity of object

t=Time taken by object

Using the formula

Then, we get

Acceleration, a=\frac{28-1}{4.8}=\frac{27}{4.8} m/s^2

Acceleration=a=5.6 m/s^2

Hence, the acceleration of cheetah=5.6m/s^2

35. What would a ship's position be if that ship started at
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The final position of the ship after the given time period is  42 km West of B.

Explanation:

Given;

average velocity of the ship, v = 35 km/h

time taken for the ship to reach point D, t = 1.2 hours

The position of the ship after the given time period is calculated as follows;

x = v x t

x = (35 km/h) x 1.2 h = 42 km

x  = 42 km West of B.

Therefore, the final position of the ship after the given time period is  42 km West of B.

How do I figure out this
ahrayia [7]
The Atomic Number is equal to the amount of Protons and Electrons. To find the amount of Neutrons in an atom, you have to look at the Mass Number. The Mass Number is the SUM (_+_=_) of Protons and Neutrons in an atom. In this case, you will have to make up equations. For example: Argon. Argon's Mass Number is 40. You need to find the amount of Protons in the atom (18). Mass Number (40) - Protons (18) = Amount of Neutrons. 40-18=22.
Argon has 22 Neutrons, because Protons(18)+Neutrons(22)=Mass Number(40).

Hope I could help!
