A sled is being held at rest on a slope that makes an angle theta with the horizontal. After the sled is released, it slides a d

istance d_1 down the slope and then covers the distance d_2 along the horizontal terrain before stopping. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction mu_k between the sled and the ground, assuming that it is constant throughout the trip.
The coefficient is:{ d_1sin (theta)}/{d_2 + d_1cos(theta)}
To assess whether your calculations are reasonable, we'll analyze a similar situation to the one described in the problem introduction.
Suppose the same sled is released from the same height on the same slope. This time, however, assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ground and the sled is a known quantity, mu, and, as before, constant throughout the trip. After the sled is released, it slides the same distance d_1 down the slope and then moves a certain (unknown) distance along the horizontal terrain before stopping. Find the distance d traveled by the sled from the end of the slope until it comes to a stop.
Express your answer in terms of the variables d_1, mu, and theta

Answer:

μ =  Sin θ * d₁ / (d₂ - Cos θ*d₁)

d₂ = (d₁*Sin θ) / μ

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We apply The work-energy theorem

W = ΔE

W = - Ff*d

Ff = μ*N = μ*m*g

<em>Distance 1:</em>

- Ff*d₁ = Ef - Ei

⇒  - (μ*m*g*Cos θ)*d₁ = (Kf+Uf) - (Ki+Ui) = (Kf+0) - (0+Ui) = Kf - Ui

Kf = 0.5*m*vf² = 0.5*m*v²

Ui = m*g*h = m*g*d₁*Sin θ

then

- (μ*m*g*Cos θ)*d₁ = 0.5*m*v² - m*g*d₁*Sin θ  

⇒   - μ*g*Cos θ*d₁ = 0.5*v² - g*d₁*Sin θ   <em>(I)</em>

 

<em>Distance 2:</em>

<em />

- Ff*d₂ = Ef - Ei

⇒  - (μ*m*g)*d₂ = (0+0) - (Ki+0) = - Ki

Ki = 0.5*m*vi² = 0.5*m*v²

then

- (μ*m*g)*d₂ = - 0.5*m*v²

⇒   μ*g*d₂ = 0.5*v²     <em>(II)</em>

<em />

<em>If we apply (I) + (II)</em>

- μ*g*Cos θ*d₁ = 0.5*v² - g*d₁*Sin θ

μ*g*d₂ = 0.5*v²

 ⇒ μ*g (d₂ - Cos θ*d₁) = v² - g*d₁*Sin θ   <em>  (III)</em>

Applying the equation (for the distance 1) we get v:

vf² = vi² + 2*a*d = 0² + 2*(g*Sin θ)*d₁   ⇒   vf² = 2*g*Sin θ*d₁ = v²

then (from the equation <em>III</em>) we get

μ*g (d₂ - Cos θ*d₁) = 2*g*Sin θ*d₁ - g*d₁*Sin θ

⇒  μ (d₂ - Cos θ*d₁) = Sin θ * d₁

⇒   μ =  Sin θ * d₁ / (d₂ - Cos θ*d₁)

b)

If μ is a known value

d₂ = ?

We apply The work-energy theorem again

W = ΔK   ⇒   - Ff*d₂ = Kf - Ki

Ff = μ*m*g

Kf = 0

Ki = 0.5*m*v² = 0.5*m*2*g*Sin θ*d₁ = m*g*Sin θ*d₁

Finally

- μ*m*g*d₂ = 0 - m*g*Sin θ*d₁   ⇒   d₂ = Sin θ*d₁ / μ

Answer:

as you can see in both triangles, comparing to each other, x = 90 angle

w = 52, because when 90 + 38 + w = 180 for a triangle

z=10yd

u = 62yd

v = 79 yd

please, also make sure these answers are correct from anyone, but ihave answer correct :)

Hope it helps

Complete question :

John has two coupons to use at a clothing store. One is for $20 off and the other is for 20% off. John wants to purchase a shirt with one of the coupons and wants to pay the least amount that he can. Choose the answer that BEST describes the situation. * 1 point A. The shirt will have the lowest price with the $20 off coupon. B. The shirt will have the lowest price with the 20% off coupon. C. The shirt will cost the same with either coupon. D. It depends on the cost of the shirt as to which coupon will help John pay the lowest price.

Answer: D. It depends on the cost of the shirt as to which coupon will help John pay the lowest price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two different coupon options :

First: 20% off

Second = $20 off

To our hase with one which enables one to pay the amount of money :

The price of the shirt will determine which of the coupons will give the least amount. For instance, a shirts which which cost below $100 will require the $20 off coupon in other to attain the least payment amount. However for shirts which cost above $100, the 20% coupon yield the least amount. Shirts which cost $100. Both coupons yields the same discount amount.
