Starting from rest, a 30.8 kg child rides a 9.75 kg sled down a frictionless ski slope. At the bottom of the hill, her speed is

6.0 m/s . If the slope makes an angle of 15.1 ° with respect to the horizontal, how far along the hill did she slide on her sled?

Answer:

s = 7.044 m

Explanation:

Given:

- The mass of child Mc = 30.8 kg

- The mass of sledge Ms = 9.75 kg

- The slope θ = 15.1°

- The speed of of sledge at bottom vf = 6.0 m/s

- The initial velocity at top vi = 0

Find:

- We will apply the conservation of energy principle on the system consisting of child and sledge. The change in potential energy ΔP.E of the system from top to bottom gives rise to change in kinetic energy ΔK.E.

                                ΔP.E = ΔK.E

                               (Mc + Ms)*g*h = 0.5*(Mc + Ms)*(vf^2 - vi^2)

Where, h: the change in vertical height

                               h = 0.5*(vf^2 - vi^2) / g

                               h = 0.5*vf^2 / g

                               h = 0.5*6.0^2 / 9.81

                               h = 1.835 m  

- The distance traveled along the slope (s) can be calculated by trigonometric ratio:

                               sin ( θ ) = h / s

                               s = h / sin ( θ )

                               s = 1.835 / sin ( 15.1 )

                               s = 7.044 m

The force that contributed to the formation of planets, determines the motion of bodies in the solar system, and pulls objects t
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The force of gravity

Explanation:

Gravity was studied, by early scientists such as Copernicus and others, Galileo was the first to ensure that planets moved according to a physical equation that depended on a force that caused celestial bodies to move and interact with each other. But years later Newton based on studies conducted deciphering what Galileo assumed, he was able to find the equation of the force of gravity in any body in the universe. This equation depends on the masses of the two interacting bodies, the distance between them and a constant, which I call universal gravitation constant.

F_{g}=G*\frac{m_{1}*m_{2}}{r^2}

Fg = gravity force [N]

G =  universal gravitation constant = 6.67*10^(-11) [N*m^2/kg^2]

m1 = mass of the 1st body [kg]

m2 = mass of the 2nd body [kg]

r = distance between the bodies [meters]

A suspended object A is attracted to a charged object B, can one conclude that A is charged? Explain
irinina [24]

Explanation:

In my view, when the Object A is attracted to a Charged object B. Object B should be Negatively or Positively charged. So Object B should be the Opposite charged according to the Object B

Example =

If Object B is Negatively Charged, the Object A should be Positively Charged

If the Object B is Positively Charged, the Object A should be Negatively Charged

Sometimes it can Mix as a Neutral as well

Hope this Helps

4. Some early mornings , dew drops can be found on grass or a car parked outside,
horsena [70]

In some early mornings , dew drops can be found on grass or a car parked outside, but not on other materials such as the sidewalk because  the night -time temperature on grass and the car went below the dew point, but  the temperature of the concrete did not drop enough to reach the dew point  level

Dew can be formed on any object when the temperature of the object drop. When this happen, the object will be cool which will eventually cool the surrounding air around the object.

Dew drops is as a result of condensation in the air. When the cool air causes the air vapor to convert to liquid. The dew will form when the temperature of the object balances with the dew point in the surrounding environment.

In some early mornings , dew drops can be found on grass or a car parked outside, but not on other materials such as the sidewalk because  the night -time temperature on grass and the car went below the dew point, but  the temperature of the concrete did not drop enough to reach the dew point  level

Therefore the correct option is therefore A

Describe the difference between distance, position, and displacement
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>Position is the location of the object (whether it's a person, a ball, or a particle) at a given moment in time.</em>

<em>Displacement is the difference in the object's position from one time to another.</em>

<em>Distance is the total amount the object has traveled in a certain period of time.</em>
