A girl with mass m1 and a sled with mass m2 are on the frictionless ice of a frozen lake, a distance d apart but connected by a

rope of negligible mass. The girl exerts a horizontal force with magnitude F on the rope. What are the acceleration magnitudes of (a) the sled and (b) the girl? (c) How far from the girl's initial position do they meet? State your answers in terms of the given variables.

Answer:

a)a_2=\dfrac{F}{m_2}

b)a_1=\dfrac{F}{m_1}

c)ex]x=\dfrac{m_2\times d}{m_1+m_2}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of girl =m_1

Mass of sled=m_2

Force = F

We know that from second law of Newton's

F =m a

a)

F=m_2.a_2

a_2=\dfrac{F}{m_2}

b)

F=m_1.a_1

a_1=\dfrac{F}{m_1}

c)

The distance ,x

x=\dfrac{m_1\times 0+m_2\times d}{m_1+m_2}

x=\dfrac{m_2\times d}{m_1+m_2}

A plastic box has an initial volume of 2.00 m 3 . It is then submerged below the surface of a liquid and its volume decreases to
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Volume strain is 0.02

Explanation:

Volume strain is defined as the change in volume to the original volume.

It is given that,

Initial volume of the plastic box is 2 m³

It is then submerged below the surface of a liquid and its volume decreases to 1.96 m³

We need to find the volume strain on the box. It is defined as the change in volume divided by the original volume. So,

\delta V=\dfrac{V_f-V_i}{V_i}\\\\\delta V=\dfrac{1.96-2}{2}\\\\\delta V=0.02

So, the volume strain on the box is 0.02.

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and dry pavement is 0.84, what is the shortest distance in which you can st
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m

Explanation:

Given;

coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.84

speed of the automobile, u = 29.0 m/s

To determine the  the shortest distance in which you can stop an automobile by locking the brakes, we apply the following equation;

v² = u² + 2ax

where;

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

x is the shortest distance

First we determine a;

From Newton's second law of motion

∑F = ma

F is the kinetic friction that opposes the motion of the car

-Fk = ma

but, -Fk = -μN

-μN = ma

-μmg = ma

-μg = a

- 0.8 x 9.8 = a

-7.84 m/s² = a

Now, substitute in the value of a in the equation above

v² = u² + 2ax

when the automobile stops, the final velocity, v = 0

0 = 29² + 2(-7.84)x

0 = 841 - 15.68x

15.68x = 841

x = 841 / 15.68

x = 53.64 m

Thus, the shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m
