A 17-kg sled is being pulled along the horizontal snow-covered ground by a horizontal force of 24 N. Starting from rest, the sle

d attains a speed of 2.5 m/s in 9.4 m. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the runners of the sled and the snow.

Answer:

The coefficient friction

μ = 0.11

Explanation:

To find the coefficient of kinetic can be find using conserved energy equations and knowing the friction force is

fk = μ * N

Now to determine use the equation

Wf = ¹/₂ * m * v² = ¹/₂ * 17 kg * 2.5² m / s = 53.125 J

We = 24.0 N * cos (0) * 9.4 m = 225.6 J

Wt = Wf - We = 53.125 J - 225.6 J = - 172.475 J

Wt = fk * d

fk = Wt / d = 18.35 N

Now to find the coefficient μ'

N = m * g = 17 kg * 9.8  m/s² = 166.6 N

μ = fk / N

μ =  18.35 N / 166.6 N

μ = 0.11

Answer:

b.only when the current in the first coil changes.

Explanation:

An induced current flow in the second coil only when there is a change in current in the first cool. A steady current will produce no change in flux (due to magnetic effect of a current) by the first coil, and according to Faraday, induced current is only produced when there is a change in flux linkage.

A boy can swim 3.0 meter a second in still water while trying to swim directly across a river from west to east, he is pulled by
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Angle: 48.19^o

Explanation:

<u>Two-Dimension Motion</u>

When the object is moving in one plane, the velocity, acceleration, and displacement are vectors. Apart from the magnitudes, we also need to find the direction, often expressed as an angle respect to some reference.

Our boy can swim at 3 m/s from west to east in still water and the river he's attempting to cross interacts with him at 2 m/s southwards. The boy will move east and south and will reach the other shore at a certain distance to the south from where he started. It happens because there is a vertical component of his velocity that is not compensated.

To compensate for the vertical component of the boy's speed, he only has to swim at a certain angle east of the north (respect to the shoreline). The goal is to make the boy's y component of his velocity equal to the velocity of the river. The vertical component of the boy's velocity is

v_b\ cos\alpha

where v_b is the speed of the boy in still water and \alpha is the angle respect to the shoreline. If the river flows at speed v_s, we now set

v_b\ cos\alpha=v_s

\displaystyle cos\alpha=\frac{v_s}{v_b}=\frac{2}{3}

\alpha=48.19^o

What length of tube would be required to produce a second tone under the same experimental conditions? Explain your answer.
Alisiya [41]

There is an indirect relationship between length and frequency. The longer the length the pipe has, the higher frequency it is. The shorter the length the pipe has, the lower frequency it is.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The four properties of the string that affect its frequency are length, diameter, tension, and density. These properties are described below: When the length of a string is changed, it will vibrate with a different frequency. Shorter strings have higher frequency and therefore higher pitch.

The longer the tube is the lower the pitch of the note that it can emit. When a tube is heated it expands and so is longer! As the gas in the tube gets warmer the molecules move faster, that means they can carry the vibrations of the sound wave more rapidly and so the pitch goes up.
