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 will the electrostatic force between two electric charges change if the first charge is doubled and the second charge is onl
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

B) \frac{2}{3}

Explanation:

The electric force between charges can be determined by;

F = \frac{kq_{1} q_{2} }{r^{2} }

Where: F is the force, k is the Coulomb's constant, q_{1} is the value of the first charge, q_{2} is the value of the second charge, r is the distance between the centers of the charges.

Let the original charge be represented by q, so that;

q_{1} = 2q

q_{2} = \frac{q}{3}

So that,

F = q_{1}q_{2} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = 2q x \frac{q}{3} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = \frac{2q^{2} }{3} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = \frac{2}{3} x \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

F = \frac{2}{3} x \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

The electric force between the given charges would change by \frac{2}{3}.

A 49-year-old female was referred for mammography, but she is very apprehensive after reading about the risk of ionizing radiati
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Mammography is the process in which low energy radiations are used to diagnose and screening. The purpose of this process is the early detection of the breast cancer. These low energy radiations may have some risks like damaging and burning of cells.  

In the current scenario, woman is apprehensive because she has read about the risks of using ionizing radiations. The radiographer should tell her the benefits of the mammography will outweigh its potential consequences. Screening, for instance, will let her know if she is suffering from breast cancer. Cancer is very dangerous disease as compare to very small burning.

In this way radiographer should handle the situation.

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9. 8 m/s2. What is the weight of a 75 kg person on Earth? 9. 8 N 75 N 85 N 735 N.
Illusion [34]

The weight of a 75 kg person on Earth, which has an acceleration due to gravity of 9.8m/s², is 735N.

CALCULATE WEIGHT:

Weight is a force, hence, measured in Newton. It is a function of an object's mass in relation to gravity.

Weight of an object can be calculated using the following formula:

W = mg

Where;

  • W = weight (N)
  • m = mass (kg)
  • g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

The weight of the person in this question can be calculated as follows:

W = 75 × 9.8

W = 735N

Therefore, the weight of a 75 kg person on Earth, which has an acceleration due to gravity of 9.8m/s², is 735N.

A gas at 5.00 atm pressure was stored in a tank during the winter at 5.0 °C. During the summer, the temperature in the storage a
saw5 [17]

Answer:

a) 5.63 atm

Explanation:

We can use combined gas law

<em>The combined gas law</em> combines the three gas laws:

  • Boyle's Law,   (P₁V₁ =P₂V₂)
  • Charles' Law  (V₁/T₁ =V₂/T₂)
  • Gay-Lussac's Law.  (P₁/T₁ =P₂/T₂)

It states that the ratio of the product of pressure and volume and the absolute temperature of a gas is equal to a constant.

P₁V₁/T₁ =P₂V₂/T₂

where P = Pressure, T = Absolute temperature, V = Volume occupied

The volume of the system remains constant,

So, P₁/T₁ =P₂/T₂

a) \frac{5}{278} =\frac{P_2}{313}  \\\\P_2=\frac{5*313}{278}\\ P_2 = 5.63 atm
