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

<span>The correct answer is C:Waves transfer energy, but not matter. A wave does not move matter in the direction of its propagation. It only transfers energy just like the ocean wave traveling many miles away with the water just moving up and down.</span>

In general, how do you find the average velocity of any object falling in a vacuum?
irina [24]
In general, how do you find the average velocity of any object falling in a vacuum? (Assume you know the final velocity.) Multiply the final velocity by final time. 3. Calculate : Distance, average velocity, and time are related by the equation, d = v • t A

How does the carbon rod of a cell beomes a positive<br>terminal?​
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

In the middle of a dry cell, is a rod made of carbon. Around the carbon rod is a chemical paste. At the same time, the carbon rod becomes positively charged. When this happens, electrical current flows out of the cell when a conductor is attached between the cell's positive and negative terminals.
