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

stira [4]

Answer:

The coefficient is 0.90

Explanation:

Drawing a diagram makes thing easier, we will assume that the acceleration tends to zero because it start barely moving.

-F_s+mg*sin(\theta)+F=0\\F_s=57.1kg*9.8m/s^2*sin(28.3)+177N\\F_s=442N\\F_s=\µ*N\\N=m*g*cos(\theta)\\N=57.1*9.8*cos(28.3)=493N\\\\\µ=\frac{442N}{493N}=0.90

A small candle is 38 cm from a concave mirror having a radius of curvature of 24 cm. (a) what is the focal length of the mirror?
Finger [1]
For a concave mirror, the radius of curvature is twice the focal length of the mirror:
r=2f
where f, for a concave mirror, is taken to be positive.

Re-arranging the formula we get:
f= \frac{r}{2}
and since the radius of curvature of the mirror in the problem is 24 cm, the focal length is
f= \frac{24 cm}{2} = 12 cm

morpeh [17]

At t=0, the particle was at its equilibrium position. The time period is 32 seconds, so in 8 seconds, it will reach the extreme location once, and hence, in 8 seconds, it will cover a distance equivalent to its amplitude.
