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

Define each of these dimensions of development: physical, cognitive, psychosocial, and moral. (8 points)
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Physical development refers to the growth, physical and biological changes that happens in the humans body between birth and till they get to adolescence stage. There is development in brain, senses, they way they talk, physical appearance e.r.c.

Examples of these include, as humans grow, there is an increase in the way they interact with other people.

Babies tend to interact and learn new words even as their sense organs are been developed.

Cognitive development refers to how children develop in knowledge, skills, they way they think, their disposition and problem solving ability. These help children to think and understand their environment better.

Psychosocial development entails psychological and social development and it refers to how human personality is developed, acquiring social attitudes and skills from young age to adult. It entails how humans interact with their environment.

Moral development entails changes that occur in humans from childhood to adulthood by possesing the the skills and ability to know what is right and what is wrong i.e an understanding of morals behavior.

Compare the strengths of UV light and microwaves (in Hz). Which type of light is more powerful and how do you know?
TEA [102]

Answer:

UV light is more powerful as it has greater energy.

Explanation:

The energy propagated by electromagnetic waves ( light ) through vacuum or medium is known as electromagnetic radiation.

The frequency/wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation is known as electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum ranging from gamma ray to radio waves.

Frequency range of UV light = ( 8 x 10¹⁴ to 3 x 10¹⁶ ) Hz

Frequency range of Microwaves = ( 300 x 10⁶ to 300 x 10⁹ ) Hz

Ratio of UV light to Microwaves = (\frac{8\times10^{14} }{300\times10^{6} } to \frac{3\times10^{16} }{300\times10^{9} } )

                                                     = ( 2.66 x 10⁶ to 1 x 10⁸ )

Energy of electromagnetic radiation is given by the relation:

E = hν

Here h is plank's constant and ν is frequency.

UV light is more powerful than Microwaves as frequency of UV light is greater than frequency of microwaves. Thus, by the above equation, the energy of UV light is more than energy of Microwaves.

If an object is to rest on an incline without slipping, then friction must equal the component of the weight of the object paral
leonid [27]

Answer:

\theta = tan^{-1}\mu

Explanation:

As we know that if the object is placed on the inclined plane then the force of friction on the object is counterbalanced by the component of the weight of the object along the inclined plane.

So we can say

F_f = mgsin\theta

now if we increase the inclination of the plane then the component of the weight weight along the inclined plane will increase and hence the friction force will also increase.

As we know that the limiting value or the maximum value of friction force at the static condition is given by

F_f = \mu N

N = mg cos\theta

so we have

F_f = \mu (mg cos\theta)

so we will have

mg sin\theta = \mu (mg cos\theta)

so now we have

tan\theta = \mu

so maximum possible angle of the inclined plane is

\theta = tan^{-1}\mu

A turn signal lamp must be visible in normal sunlight at a distance of at least ______ feet from the front and rear of the vehic
kaheart [24]

Answer:

500; 300 feet.

Explanation:

A turn signal lamp can be defined as an amber blinking lamp which indicates a driver's intent to change direction. It is extremely important that drivers gives a turn signal (flashing light) on the side toward which he or she is turning either left or right.

Simply stated, the turn signal lamp indicate the driver's intent to turn either leftward or rightward by displaying flashing lights to the front and rear of his or her vehicle.

A turn signal lamp must be visible in normal sunlight at a distance of at least 500 feet from the front and rear of the vehicle if the vehicle is at least 80 inches wide, and at least 300 feet from front and rear of the vehicle if the vehicle is less than 80 inches wide according to the transportation traffics code.
