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

What is (3.25 x 10^5) + (7.5 x 10^4)?
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

400000

Explanation:

So first solve one part:

(3.25 * 10^5)

(3.25 * 100,000)

= 325000

Then solve the next part:

(7.5 * 10^4)

(7.5 * 10000)

= 75000

Now lastly, add the two answers:

325000 + 75000 = 400000

Therefore,

(3.25 x 10^5) + (7.5 x 10^4) = 400000

When a fork is placed in a hot piece of lasagna, thermal energy is transferred up the fork by...
Gnom [1K]
Because it's placed in the lasagna, the thermal energy is transferred by conduction. Remember, convection is transfer of heat through fluids (liquids and gases), and radiation is just transfer of heat through air.

A 14,700 N car is traveling at 25 m/s. The brakes are applied suddenly, and the car slides to a stop. The average braking force
Vlada [557]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

vo = 25 m/sec 
<span>vf = 0 m/sec </span>
<span>Fμ = 7100 N (Force due to friction) </span>
<span>Fg = 14700 N </span>
<span>With the force due to gravity, you can find the mass of the car: </span>
<span>F = ma </span>
<span>14700 N = m (9.8 m/sec²) </span>
<span>m = 1500 kg </span>
<span>Now, we can use the equation again to find the deacceleration due to friction: </span>
<span>F = ma </span>
<span>7100 N = (1500 kg) a </span>
<span>a = 4.73333333333 m/sec² </span>
<span>And now, we can use a velocity formula to find the distance traveled: </span>
<span>vf² = vo² + 2a∆d </span>
<span>0 = (25 m/sec)² + 2 (-4.73333333333 m/sec²) ∆d </span>
<span>0 = 625 m²/sec² + (-9.466666666667 m/sec²) ∆d </span>
<span>-625 m²/sec² = (-9.466666666667 m/sec²) ∆d </span>
<span>∆d = 66.0211267605634 m </span>
<span>∆d = 66.02 m</span>
