At one particular moment, a 19.0 kg toboggan is moving over a horizontal surface of snow at 4.00 m/s. After 7.00 s have elapsed,
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

10.86 N

Explanation:

Let the average frictional force acting on the toboggan be 'f' N.

Given:

Mass of toboggan (m) = 19.0 kg

Initial velocity (u) = 4.00 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Time for which friction acts (Δt) = 7.00 s

Now, change in momentum is given as:

\Delta p =Final\ momentum-Initial\ momentum\\\\\Delta p=mv-mu\\\\\Delta p=19.0\ kg(0-4.00)\ m/s\\\\\Delta p=-76.00\ Ns

Now, we know that, change in momentum is equal to the impulse acting on the body. So,

Impulse is, J=\Delta p=-76.00\ Ns

Now, we know that, impulse is also given as the product of average force and the time interval for which it acts. So,

J=f\times \Delta t

Rewriting the above equation in terms of 'f', we get:

f=\dfrac{J}{\Delta t}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'f'. This gives,

f=\frac{-76.00\ Ns}{7.00\ s}\\\\f=-10.86\ N

Therefore, the magnitude of frictional force is |f|=|-10.86\ N|=10.86\ N

Calculate the density 1.33*10⁻⁷ gcm⁻³ into kgm⁻³.
Alex Ar [27]

1 Kg = 1,000g

Therefore 1.33 × 10^-7 g = 1.33 × 10^-10 kg

1m³ = 1,000,000cm³

Therefore 1 cm³ = 1 × 10^-6 m³

Dividing the mass per unit volume you get:

(1.33 × 10^-10 kg) ÷ (1 × 10^-6 m³)

= 1.33 × 10^(-10--6) = 1.33 × 10^(-10 + 6) = 1.33 × 10^-4 kg/m³

Density = 1.33 × 10^-4 kg/m³
