Your best friend weighs 81.5 kg and is a rugby player. In one of his games, he slides to a stop in a phenomenal manner. The coef

ficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground is 0.70. His speed at the start of the slide is 8.23 m/s. I a) Calculate his acceleration during the slide. b) How long (in time) does he slide until he stops?​

A. The acceleration during the slide is 6.86 m/s²

B. The time taken to slide until he stops is 1.2 s

<h3>How to determine the force of friction</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 81.5 Kg
  • Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.7
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Normal reaction (N) = mg = 81.5 × 9.8 = 798.7 N
  • Frictional force (F) =?

F = μN

F = 0.7 × 798.7

F = 559.09 N

<h3>A. How to determine the acceleration</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 81.5 Kg
  • Frictional force (F) = 559.09 N
  • Acceleration (a) =?

a = F / m

a = 559.09 / 81.5

a = 6.86 m/s²

<h3>B. How to determine the time </h3>
  • Initial velocity (u) = 8.23 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s
  • Decceleration (a) = -6.86 m/s²
  • Time (t) =?

a = (v – u) / t

t = (v – u) / a

t = (0 – 8.23) / -6.86

t = 1.2 s

How do the current and coltage readings compare to before the wires were switched. Explain how to interpret them physically?
Blababa [14]
  • The potential difference between two locations in an electric circuit is measured using a voltmeter.
  • If the electricity passes through the voltmeter it shows deflection.

<h3>What is the purpose of a voltmeter?</h3>
  • A voltage meter, usually referred to as a voltmeter, is a device that measures the voltage, or potential difference, between two points in an electrical or electronic circuit.
  • volts is the unit of voltmeter(volts, millivolts, kilovolts)

<h3>What is the explanation for the link between current and voltage?</h3>
  • Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided all physical conditions and temperatures remain constant.

<h3>What is ohm's law in circuit?</h3>
  • V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance, is known as Ohm's Law.
  • If you know the voltage of the battery in the circuit and how much resistance is in the circuit, you may use Ohm's Law to identify properties of a circuit, such as how much current is flowing through it.

what happens to the current in a circuit if the resitance of the components in the circuit is increased​
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The current decreases.

Explanation:

Current and resistance are inversely proportional. The equation connecting current, resistance and voltage is V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance.

Rearranging this equation, you get:

I = \frac{V}{R}

and

R = \frac{V}{I}

If the value of voltage in both equations remains constant, and the value of R decreases, the value of I will increase. Conversely, if in the second equation R = \frac{V}{I} , the value of V remains constant the value of I decreases, then the value of R, resistance will increase.

Thus, it can be seen that the current will decrease as resistance increases and vice versa.

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The path length difference = extra distance traveled

The destructive interference condition is:

\Delta d = (m+1/2)\lambda

where m =0,1, 2,3........

So, ←

\Delta d = (m+1/2)\lamb da9/tex]so [tex]\Delta d = \frac{\lambda}{2}

⇒ λ = 2Δd = 2×10 = 20

A drag racer starts from the rest and accelerates at 7.4m/s^2.how far will he travel in 2.0 seconds?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

14.8 m

Explanation:

S= ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

where u = initial velocity

S= (0 \frac{m}{s})(2s) + \frac{1}{2}(7.4\frac{m}{s^{2} })(2s^{2})

S=  \frac{1}{2}(7.4\frac{m}{s^{2} })(2s^{2})

S=14.8 m
