A loaded 320 kg toboggan is traveling on smooth horizontal snow at 4.60 m/s when it suddenly comes to a rough region. The region

is 8.60 m long and reduces the toboggan's speed by 1.20 m/s. What average friction force did the rough region exert on the toboggan?

Answer:

367.04 N

Explanation:

Frictional force = mass of the toboggan×deceleration caused by the rough region

Fr = m×ar....................... Equation 1

Where Fr = Average frictional force, m = mass of loaded toboggan, ar = deceleration cause by the rough region.

We can calculate for ar using the formula below

v² = u²+2ars................... Equation 2

make ar the subject of the equation

ar = (v²-u²)/2s.................. Equation 3

Where v = final velocity of the toboggan, u = initial velocity of the toboggan, s = distance or length of the rough region

Given: v = 1.2 m/s, u = 4.6 m/s, s = 8.6 m

Substitute into equation 3

ar = (1.2²-4.6²)/(2×8.6)

ar = (1.44-21.16)/17.2

ar = -19.72/17.2

ar = -1.147 m/s²

Also given: m = 320 kg

Substitute into equation 1

Fr = 320(-1.147)

Fr = -367.04 N

Note: The negative sign tells that the frictional force opposes the motion of the toboggan

topjm [15]

Answer:

\Delta U = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})

Explanation:

The electrostatic potential energy is given by the following formula

U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

Now, we will apply this formula to both cases:

U_1 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_1^2}\\U_2 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_2^2}

So, the change in the potential energy is

\Delta U = U_2 - U_1 = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})

What's the difference and similarity between O2 and 2 O ?
nasty-shy [4]
O2 refers to two oxygen atoms bonded together, while 2 O refers to two oxygen atoms that are not bonded to each other. They both have two oxygen atoms, but in O2, the oxygen atoms are bonded, while in 2O, the atoms are not.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

The stored elastic energy of compressed spring

= 1 / 2 k X²

= .5 x 19.6 x (.20)²

= .392 J

b ) The stored potential energy will be converted into gravitational potential energy of the block earth system when the block will ascend along the incline . So change in the gravitational potential energy will be same as stored elastic potential energy of the spring that is .392 J .

c ) Let h be the distance along the incline which the block ascends.

vertical height attained ( H ) =h sin30

= .5 h

elastic potential energy = gravitational energy

.392 = mg H

.392 = 2 x 9.8 x .5 h

h = .04 m

4 cm .

=
