At one particular moment, a 19.0 kg toboggan is moving over a horizontal surface of snow at 4.00 m/s. After 7.00 s have elapsed,

the toboggan stops. Use a momentum approach to find the magnitude of the average friction force (in N) acting on the toboggan while it was moving.

Answer:

10.86 N

Explanation:

Let the average frictional force acting on the toboggan be 'f' N.

Given:

Mass of toboggan (m) = 19.0 kg

Initial velocity (u) = 4.00 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Time for which friction acts (Δt) = 7.00 s

Now, change in momentum is given as:

\Delta p =Final\ momentum-Initial\ momentum\\\\\Delta p=mv-mu\\\\\Delta p=19.0\ kg(0-4.00)\ m/s\\\\\Delta p=-76.00\ Ns

Now, we know that, change in momentum is equal to the impulse acting on the body. So,

Impulse is, J=\Delta p=-76.00\ Ns

Now, we know that, impulse is also given as the product of average force and the time interval for which it acts. So,

J=f\times \Delta t

Rewriting the above equation in terms of 'f', we get:

f=\dfrac{J}{\Delta t}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'f'. This gives,

f=\frac{-76.00\ Ns}{7.00\ s}\\\\f=-10.86\ N

Therefore, the magnitude of frictional force is |f|=|-10.86\ N|=10.86\ N

Coulomb is a very large unit for practical use. Justify your answer if 10^10 electrons are transferred from a body/second
zlopas [31]
Given:

10^10 electrons per second

To justify that coulomb is a very large unit for practical use, we need to convert the quantity of electron given to Coulombs:

From literature, 

1 Coulomb is equivalent to 6.242×10^18 electrons<span>.

So,

= 10^10 electrons * (1 coulomb/</span><span>6.242×10^18</span> electrons) / second
<span>= 1.602 x 10^-9 coulumbs

This value is too small to be used in an actual setting.

What is the biggest current disadvantage to using gas hydrates as a form of energy?
ohaa [14]
When gas hydrates are brought to the surface, they evaporate quickly. This would be the biggest, current disadvantage to using gas hydrates as a form of energy.
