A car driving up a hill at a constant speed experiences no change in its kinetic energy while it's potential energy increases with increasing height, thus none of the options are correct.

Understanding the concept

Consider a car moving up the hill at a constant speed as shown in the figure below. The following forces act on the car:

  • N is the normal reaction force acting in an upward direction
  • f_s is the static friction force exerted due to friction between the road and the tires of the car
  • f_k is the rolling friction force in the direction opposing that of the  tire
  • mg is the force acting in a downward direction.
  • θ is the angle of inclination.

Here as the car is moving up the hill at a constant speed, the net force exerted on the car is zero. Also, the kinetic energy of the car will not change as its velocity is constant and the potential energy will change with increasing height. Thus, none of the given options are correct.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

0.54m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

length of seesaw= 3m

mass of man m1= 85kg

weight = mg

W1= 85*10= 850N

mass of daughter m2= 35kg

W2= 35*10= 350N

distance from the center= (1.5-0.2)= 1.3m

Step two:

we know that the sum of clockwise moment equals the anticlockwise moment

let the distance the must sit to balance the system be x

taking moment about the center of the system

350*1.3=850*x

455=850x

divide both sides by  850

x=455/850

x=0.54

Hence the man must sit 0.54m from the right to balance the system

10. A hockey puck with mass 0.3 kg is sliding along ice that can be considered frictionless. The puck’s velocity is 20 m/s when
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

d = \frac{v^2_i}{2a}= \frac{(20m/s)^2}{2* 3.43 m/s^2}=58.309m

Explanation:

For this case  we can use the second law of Newton given by:

\sum F = ma

The friction force on this case is defined as :

F_f = \mu_k N = \mu_k mg

Where N represent the normal force, \mu_k the kinetic friction coeffient and a the acceleration.

For this case we can assume that the only force is the friction force and we have:

F_f = ma

Replacing the friction force we got:

\mu_k mg = ma

We can cancel the mass and we have:

a = \mu_k g = 0.35 *9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}= 3.43 \frac{m}{s^2}

And now we can use the following kinematic formula in order to find the distance travelled:

v^2_f = v^2_i - 2ad

Assuming the final velocity is 0 we can find the distance like this:

d = \frac{v^2_i}{2a}= \frac{(20m/s)^2}{2* 3.43 m/s^2}=58.309m
