The force of friction acting on him is 122 N. The correct answer is option C

<h3>What is Friction ?</h3>

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of a static or a moving object.

Given that Barry slides across an icy pond. The coefficient of kinetic friction between his shoes and the ice is 0.15. If his mass is 83 kg

The given parameters are;

Mass m = 83 kg

Coefficient of kinetic friction μ = 0.15

Frictional force $F_{r}$ = ?

The normal reaction N on the body = mg

N = 83 x 9.8

N = 813.4 N

The Frictional force formula is $F_{r}$ = μN

$F_{r}$ = 0.15 x 813.4

$F_{r}$ = 122.01 N

Therefore, the force of friction acting on him is 122 N approximately.

Initial velocity vector vA has a magnitude of 3.00 meters per second and points 20.0o north of east, while final velocity vector

garri49 [273]

Answer:

$5.2\ \text{m/s}$

$70^{\circ}$ south of east

Explanation:

$v_a$ = 3 m/s

$\theta_a$ = $20^{\circ}$ north of east

$v_b$ = 6 m/s

$\theta_b$ = $40^{\circ}$ south of east = $360-40=320^{\circ}$ north of east

x and y component of $v_a$

$v_{ax}=v_a\cos \theta\\\Rightarrow v_{ax}=3\times \cos 20^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_{ax}=2.82\ \text{m/s}$

$v_{ay}=v_a\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow v_{ay}=3\times \sin20^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_{ay}=1.03\ \text{m/s}$

x and y component of $v_b$

$v_{bx}=v_b\cos \theta\\\Rightarrow v_{bx}=6\times \cos 320^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_{bx}=4.6\ \text{m/s}$

$v_{by}=v_b\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow v_{by}=6\times \sin320^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_{by}=-3.86\ \text{m/s}$

$\Delta v=v_b-v_a\\\Rightarrow \Delta v=(4.6-2.82)\hat{i}+(-3.86-1.03)\hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v=1.78\hat[i}-4.89\hat{j}$

Magnitude

$|\Delta v|=\sqrt{(-4.89)^2+1.78^2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v=5.2\ \text{m/s}$

Direction

$\theta=\tan{-1}|\dfrac{-4.89}{1.78}|\\\Rightarrow \theta=70^{\circ}$

The magnitude of the change in velocity vector is $5.2\ \text{m/s}$ and the direction is $70^{\circ}$ south of east.

A hollow metal sphere is electrically neutral (no excess charge). A small amount of negative charge is suddenly placed at one po

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The excess charge has distributed itself evenly over the outside surface of the sphere.

Explanation:

Since the hollow sphere is a conductor, it has free electrons that can move about within the sphere. In this light, an excess charge, the like charges repels each other, therefore ensuring that charges are spread as far apart as possible. There is therefore an evenly distributed charge on the outside surface of the sphere.
