One horse is pulling a 755 kg sled straight ahead applying a force of 1988 N. If the acceleration of the sled is 1.36 m/s2, what
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.13

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force on it, the factor of proportionality is the mass. So, we can express that law mathematically as:

\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a} (1)

With F the net force, m the mass and a the acceleration of the object. In our case we're interested on what's happening to the sled, then we have to analyze the forces on it, those forces are the weight and the normal force on the vertical direction and the pulling force and frictional force in the horizontal direction. So, because (1) is a vector equation we can express that in their vertical (y) and horizontal (x) components:

F_y=ma_y (2)

F_x=ma_x (3)

On y we have that the acceleration is zero because the sled is not moving upward or downward, remember that the net force on y is the weight (W) pointing downward and the normal force pointing upward:

F_y=W+n=0

Following the convention that positive is upward and negative downward, W=mg=(755)(-9.81):

F_y=(755)(-9.81)+n=0

n=7406.55 N (4)

Now on the x direction we have the sum of the forces is the pulling force (T) and friction force (f)

F_x=F+f=ma_x

Choosing the direction where the horse is pulling F=1988N and the acceleration should be positive too, then:

1988+f=m(1.36)

f=(755)(1.36)-1988=-961.2 N

The negative sign means it's in the opposite direction the horse is pulling

The frictional force is related with the coefficient of kinetic friction in the next way:

|f|=\mu_k n

with μk the coefficient of kinetic friction, and n the normal force that we already found on (4), so we simply solve the last equation for μk:

\mu_k=\frac{|f|}{n}=\frac{961.2}{7406.55}=0.13

A stationary 90 kg baseball pitcher throws a 0.15 kg baseball forward
Marina CMI [18]

Answer: momentum = 6kgm/s

Explanation:

given that the baseball pitcher is at stationary position, his velocity will be equal to zero. If velocity is zero, his linear momentum will therefore equal to zero.

Linear momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Given that the baseball has

Mass M = 0.15 kg

Velocity V = 40 m/s

Momentum = MV

Momentum = 0.15 × 40 = 6 kgm/s

Stephanie serves a volleyball from a height of 0.80 m and gives it an initial velocity of +7.2 m/s straight up. how high will th
Papessa [141]
<span>3.78 m Ignoring resistance, the ball will travel upwards until it's velocity is 0 m/s. So we'll first calculate how many seconds that takes. 7.2 m/s / 9.81 m/s^2 = 0.77945 s The distance traveled is given by the formula d = 1/2 AT^2, so substitute the known value for A and T, giving d = 1/2 A T^2 d = 1/2 9.81 m/s^2 (0.77945 s)^2 d = 4.905 m/s^2 0.607542 s^2 d = 2.979995 m So the volleyball will travel 2.979995 meters straight up from the point upon which it was launched. So we need to add the 0.80 meters initial height. d = 2.979995 m + 0.8 m = 3.779995 m Rounding to 2 decimal places gives us 3.78 m</span>

Question 8
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

96 Joules

Explanation:

The formula for work is Fnet times displacement (F x d = w) which, in this case, 48N is the Fnet and 2m as the displacement. Then all we need to do is multiply these two and we get 96 Joules.
