Answer: a = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c where c is the coefficient of kinetic friction of the surface

Explanation: We know that, by the second Newton's law, a = F/m

where a is the acceleration, F is the net force and m is the mass of the object.

Then, if the surface is frictionless, the total force applied in the object is 10N, and the mass of the object is 25kg, so the acceleration is:

a =10N/25kg = 0.4m/s^2.

But if the surface is frictional, there will be a force of friction applied in the mass (this depends on the coefficient of friction and the weight of the mass), this means that the acceleration will be reduced.

If = -(9.8*25)*c

where c is a number that is bigger than 0 and smaller than 1, is called the coefficient of kinetic friction.

So the total force is now:

F = (10 - 9.8*25*c)

Then, the acceleration in a frictional surface is equal to:

a = (10 - 9.8*25*c)/25 = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c

Force (in Newtons) equals mass (in kilograms) times acceleration (in meters per second squared).


Plug in the given force and mass to the equation and solve for acceleration:

10=25a

0.4m/s2=a


Hope this helps!!

The kinetic energy of a 10 Kg ball rolling at 10 meters per second is how many joules
Ulleksa [173]

Answer: 500 joules

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of ball = 10kg

kinetic energy = ?

velocity of the ball = 10m/s

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object. It is measured in joules, and depends on the mass (m) of the object and the velocity (v) by which it moves

i.e K.E = 1/2mv²

K.E = 1/2 x 10kg x (10m/s)²

K.E = 0.5 x 10kg x (10m/s)²

K.E = 5 x 100

K.E = 500 joules

Thus, the kinetic energy of the ball is 500 joules

A 60-kg rollerblader rolls 10 m down a 30? incline. When she reaches the level floor at the bottom, she applies the brakes. The
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

s = 20 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the roller blader = 60 Kg

length = 10 m

inclines at = 30°

coefficient of friction = 0.25

using conservation of energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 = m g d sin \theta

u^2 = 2 g d sin30^0

u= \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 10 sin30^0}

u = 9.89 m/s

Using second law of motion  

ma =μ mg

a = μ g

a = 0.25 x 9.8

a = 2.45 m/s²

Using third equation of motion ,  

v² - u² = 2 a s

0² - 9.89² = 2 x 2.45 x s

s = 20 m

the distance moved before stopping is 20 m
