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 does the scientific meaning of the words work, energy, force and efficiency compare to their every day meaning? State the si
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Force

If you're taking classical physics, simply stated, a force is a push or a pull of some sort. But there is one other very important thing to understand about Force. A true Force is always an interaction (at least from a classical perspective). That means that forces always come in pairs. This is stated in Newton's Third Law (equal and opposite forces). Every action must have a reaction. This is required for all true forces. Another consequence of this is that force is a vector, meaning it has a magnitude and a direction. The action and reaction will always be opposite in direction.

A lot of people will say F=ma. This is true. However, it is important to keep in mind that this definition is a calculational tool. It is more precise to say the Sum of all forces=ma. The point is that ma is not a force. Forces are things like weight, tension, normal, friction, gravity, electrostatic, magnetic, and various other applied forces. The sum of forces on an object equals the product of its mass times its acceleration.

It is important to keep in mind that the force is on the object that accelerates. Another way to state this is that objects cannot accelerate themselves. You cannot push yourself back (or forwards). But if you push a heavy object like a desk forwards, then the desk can push you back.

Energy

There are many kinds of energy. There are two important things to know.

Energy is the ability to do work. It doesn't mean work is being done, but that work can be done. (So you can see there is an intimate relationship between work and energy).

Energy is conserved. That means the total amount of energy is always constant. If the energy is a system changes somehow, that means some work was done in order to move the energy from one system to another.

Energy is also a scalar (given that Work is a scalar).

An air-filled capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 7.60 cm2, separated by a distance of 1.70 mm. A 21
Inga [223]

Answer:

12353 V m⁻¹ = 12.4 kV m⁻¹

Explanation:  

Electric field between the plates of the parallel plate capacitor depends on the potential difference across the plates and their distance of separation.Potential difference across the plates V over the distance between the plates gives the electric field between the plates. Potential difference is the amount of work done per unit charge and is given here as 21 V. Electric field is the voltage over distance.

E = V ÷ d = 21 ÷ 0.0017 = 12353 V m⁻¹

galben [10]
The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations passing a given point per second.

In this case, assuming the duck is stationary, we have 4 complete waves passing the duck in one second: therefore, the frequency of the wave is
f= \frac{4}{1 s}=4 Hz
