A slide inclined at 35 takes bathers into a swimming pool. with water sprayed on the slide the bathers spends only one third as

much timeo n the slide as whne its dry. find the coefficient of friction on the dry slide

Refer to the figure shown below.

mg =  the weight of the person on the slide.
N = mg cos(35°) = 0.8192 mg, the normal reaction
F = mg sin(35°) = 0.5736 mg, the force acting down the slide.
R = μN = 0.8192 μmg, the resisting force due to friction
μ = the coefficient of dynamic friction on the dry slide.
d =  the length of the slide.
g = 9.8 m/s²
All measurements are in SI units.

We shall consider two cases.

Case 1 (The slide is lubricated by water spray).
Assume that the coefficient of friction is approximately zero.
Let a = the acceleration down the slide. Then
0.5736 mg = ma
a = 0.5736g = 5.6213 m/s²

Let t = the time to travel the length of the slide from rest.
d = (1/2)*(5.6213 m/s²)(t s)² = 2.8106t² m     (1)
t² = 0.3558d
t = 0.5965√d s                                             (2)

Case 2 (The slide is dry)
The time to travel down the slide is 3*(0.5965√t) = 1.7895√t s.
Let a = the acceleration. Then
0.5796mg - 0.8192μmg = ma
a = 0.5796g - 0.8192μg = 5.6801 - 8.0282μ  m/s²

The travel doen the slide from rest is given by
d = (1/2)*(5.6801 - 8.0282μ)*(1.7895√t)²
d = (9.0947 - 12.8544μ)t²                           (3)

Equate (1) and (3).
9.0947 - 12.8544μ = 2.8106
12.8544μ = 6.2841
μ = 0.489

Answer:  μ = 0.49  (nearest hundredth)

reviews the approach taken in problems such as this one. A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 0.916 km due east, 0
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Displacement: 2.230 km    Average velocity: 1.274\frac{km}{h}

Explanation:

Let's represent displacement by the letter S and the displacement in direction 49.7° as A. Displaement is a vector, so we need to decompose all the bird's displacement into their X-Y compoments. Let's go one by one:

  • 0.916 km due east is an horizontal direction and cane be seen as  direction towards the negative side of X-axis.
  • 0.928 km due south is a vertical direction and can be seen as a direction towards the negative side of Y-axis.
  • 3.52 km in a direction of 49.7° has components on X and Y  axes. It is necessary to break it down using trigonometry,

First of all. We need to sum all the X components and all the Y componets.

∑Sx = Ax -0.916 ⇒  ∑Sx = [tex]3.52cos(49.7) - 0.916

∑Sx = 1.361 km

∑Sy = Ay - 0.918 ⇒ ∑Sy = 3.52sin(49.7) - 0.918

∑Sy = 1.767

The total displacement is calculated using Pythagoeran therorem:

S_{total} =\sqrt{Sx^{2}+ Sy^{2} } ⇒

S_{total} = 2.230 km

With displacement calculated, we can find the average speed as follows:

V = S/t  ⇒  V = \frac{2.230}{1.750}

V = 1.274\frac{km}{h}

In comparison with other ocean basins, major sedimentary features such as continental rises and abyssal plains are relatively ra
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Why are continental rises and abyssal plains relatively rare in the Pacific? This is because the extensive system of trenches along the active margins of the Pacific, trap much of the sediments flowing off the continents, preventing them from building the broad, flat abyssal plains typical of the Atlantic ocean basins.

A potential difference of 24 V is applied to a 150-ohm resistor. How much current flows through the resistor?​
Lady_Fox [76]

Given :- A resistor of 150 ohm, hence Resistance (R) = 150 ohm

Potential Difference (v) = 24 V

Current (I) = ?

V = IR

24 = I × 150

I = 24/150

I = 0.16 ampere

hope it helps!
