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

3. An object of mass 90 kg travels down a slide.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

3) Ep = 13243.5[J]

4) v = 17.15 [m/s]

Explanation:

3) In order to solve this problem, we must use the principle of energy conservation. That is, the energy will be transformed from potential energy to kinetic energy. We can calculate the potential energy with the mass and height data, as shown below.

m = mass = 90 [kg]

h = elevation = 15 [m]

Potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height.

E_{p}=m*g*h\\E_{p}=90*9.81*15\\E_{p}=13243.5[J]

This energy will be transformed into kinetic energy.

Ek = 13243.5 [J]

4) The velocity can be determined by defining the kinetic energy, as shown below.

E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}  \\v = \sqrt{\frac{2*E_{k} }{m} }\\ v= \sqrt{\frac{2*13243.5 }{90} }\\v=17.15[m/s]

Why do the planets appear in different locations in the night sky while the pattern of stars in a constellation stays the same?
Goshia [24]
I'm sure you've noticed that an airplane high in the sky, far away
from you, looks like it's moving very slowly.  At the same time,
somebody passing you on a skateboard whizzes past you at
high speed.  The farther away something is from you, the slower
it appears to move.

The nearest star outside the solar system is almost 32 thousand times
as far away from us as the farthest visible planet (Saturn) is, and all of the
other stars are farther than that. 

That's why you have to wait a few thousand years before you notice
that the shape of a constellation has changed.

To put it a slightly different way . . . Everything is in motion.  The motion is
more noticeable for nearby things, and less noticeable for farther-away things. 
Objects within our solar system are the only ones near enough so that a human
lifetime is a long enough period in which to notice the change in their position.
Even Pluto moves less then 1.5° against the 'background' stars in a whole year.

This all makes me feel small.  How about you ?

What is the net force on a truck if the force of friction is 31 N and the force of the engine is 79 N?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Fr = 48 [N] forward.

Explanation:

Suppose the movement is on the X axis, in this way we have the force of the engine that produces the movement to the right, while the force produced by the brake causes the vehicle to decrease its speed in this way the sign must be negative.

∑F = Fr

F_{engine}-F_{brake} =F_{r}\\F_{r}=79-31\\F_{r}=48[N]

The movement remains forward, since the force produced by the movement is greater than the braking force.

Which of the following remains constant during the motion of a projectile fired from a planet?
trapecia [35]

Answer:

C. Horizontal component of velocity

Explanation:

Object in motion stays in motion,

nothing works against its motion in the horizontal direction, unlike in the vertical direction, gravity pulls object down.
