"on a snowy day, max (mass = 15 kg) pulls his little sister maya in a sled (combined mass = 20 kg) through the slippery snow. wh

en max pulls on the sled with 12 n of force, directed at an angle of 15° above the ground, how much work does max do on the sled as he pulls his sister 25 m in the snow?"

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The angle θ = 15° relative to the direction of motion.
Therefore the force acting in the direction of motion is
(12 N) cos(15°) = 11.59 N

By definition,
Work = Force x Distance.
Therefore work done in moving the sled by 25 m is
Work = (11.59 N)*(25 m) = 289.8 J

Answer: 289.8 J

A man of mass m 1 5 70.0 kg is skating at v1 5 8.00 m/s behind his wife of mass m 2 5 50.0 kg, who is skating at v2 5 4.00 m/s.

Answer:

A. Kindly find attached free body diagram for your reference (smiles I guess I will make a terrible artist)

B. The collision is inelastic because both the husband and the wife moved together with same velocity as he grabs her on the waist

C. The general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m 1, v 1, m 2, v 2, and final velocity vf

Say mass of husband is m1

Mass of the wife is m2

Velocity of the husband is v1

Velocity of the wife is v2

According to the conservation of momentum principle momentum before impact m1v1+m2v2 =momentum after impact Common velocity after impact (m1+m2)vf

The momentum equation is

m1v1+m2v2= (m1+m2)vf

D. To solve for vf we need to make it subject of formula

vf= {(m1v1) +(m2v2)}/(m1+m2)

E. Substituting our given data

vf=

{(1570*58)+(2550*54)}/(1570+2558)

vf=91060+137700/4120

vf=228760/4120

vf=55.52m/s

Their speed after collision is 55.52m/s

A crane lifts a 1,750 kg mass using a steel cable whose mass per unit length is 0.88 kg/m. What is the speed of transverse waves
Sauron [17]

Answer:

139.6m/s

Explanation:

Calculate the tension first, T=m*g

mass(m): 1750kg, gravity(g): 9.8m/s^2

T= 1750*9.8

 =17150N

Then calculate the wave speed using the equation v = √ (T/μ)

v= √(17150N)/(0.88kg/m)

 =139.6m/s

What occurs when salt is evenly mixed with water
zimovet [89]
The more you mix salt with water the more the salt will dissolve
The act of dissolving in chemistry describes a physical change such as change in shape or state. Its important to remember that physical change does not change the chemical state.  

Hoped my answer helped!
