The correct answer is option (3).

The horizontal component of the force pushing the skier in forward direction is 36.75 N or 37 N.

In Physics, force is defined as the effect that changes the direction of motion of an object or brings a moving object to halt.

In other words, a force is a pull or push which is applied to any object. It is a vector quantity and is measured in Newton (N).

The weight of the skier = 75 Kg

To find the horizontal component of force we will use the following information.

Frictional force due to ice, F =   μN

Normal force N = mg = 75 x 9.8 = 735 N

Now let's calculate the Frictional force = 0.05 x 735 = 36.75 N

We know that the value of Coefficient of friction (μ) for ice is 0.05.

If the wagon travels 18.75 m, what is the work done on the wagon
Schach [20]

If the wagon travels 18.75 m, then the work done on the wagon is

(18.75 m) x (the steady force applied to the wagon all the way, in Newtons) .

The unit is Joules .

9. A Veggie meatball with v = 5.0 m/s rolls off a 1.0 m high table. How long does it take to hit the floor if no one sneezes? Wh
Paha777 [63]

By Considering the vertical distance and both vertical and horizontal final velocity, the time t = 0.45 s and Velocity V = 6.7 m/s

Given that a Veggie meatball with v = 5.0 m/s rolls off a 1.0 m high table.

Height h = 1.0 m

As the ball rolls off the table, it will be fallen under gravity. Where

g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

Initial vertical velocity u_{y} = 0

Initial horizontal velocity u_{x} = 5 m/s

Considering the vertical distance, the formula to use to calculate the time will be;

h = ut + 1/2gt^{2}

1 = 0 + 1/2 x 9.8t^{2}

1 = 4.9t^{2}

t^{2} = 1/4.9

t = \sqrt{0.204}

t = 0.45 seconds

It takes 0.45 seconds to hit the floor if no one sneezes.

To calculate its velocity when it hits the floor, we will need to calculate for both vertical and horizontal final velocity and find the resultant velocity of the two.

Vertical component

V_{y} = U_{y} + gt

V_{y} = 0 + 9.8(0.45)

V_{y} = 4.41 m/s

Horizontal component

V_{x} = u_{x} + at

but a = 0

V_{x} = 5 m/s

Final velocity V = \sqrt{5^{2} + 4.41^{2}  }

V = 6.67 m/s

Therefore, it will hit the floor at a velocity of 6.7 m/s

How would you describe the motion of all three vehicles?​
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:In physics, motion is defined as a change in the position of a body with respect to a reference point. ... Think about the motion of three cars: one in the fast-moving carpool lane, another in the middle lane, and the third in the slow lane used to enter or exit the freeway.

you measured the torque caused by the gyroscope's weight by lifting up the end of the gyroscope (at 7.5 inches). If you measured
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

i) No, the spring scale does not read a different value

ii) The torque will read a different value, it will reduce

iii) The spring scale does not need to be measured at the center of mass location.

Explanation:

The torque caused by the gyroscope can be given by the relation,

\tau = r × f

\tau = rf cos \theta

The torque measured by the gyroscope varies directly with the distance, r.

A decrease in the distance r will also cause a decrease in the value of the torque measured. When the distance, r is reduced from 7.5 inches to 5 inches, the torque caused by the gyroscope's weight also reduces.

The weight of the gyroscope remains constant despite the reduction in the distance because the weight  of the gyroscope is not a function of the distance from the gyroscope. Therefore, the spring scale will not read a different value.

Yes, the spring scale does not need to be measured from the center of mass location because the weight does not depend on the location of measurement. The reading of the sprig scale remains constant.
