At the top:
Potential Energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)
= (30 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (3 meters)
= 882 joules
At the bottom:
Kinetic Energy = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²
= (1/2) x (30 kg) x (3 m/s)²
= (15 kg) x (9 m²/s²)
= 135 joules .
He had 882 joules of potential energy at the top,
but only 135 joules of kinetic energy at the bottom.
Friction stole (882 - 135) = 747 joules of his energy while he slid down.
The seat of his jeans must be pretty warm.
There are 3
Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas.
Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. ...
Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. ...
Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume.
Answer:
0.265
Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram. There are four forces:
Normal force Fn pushing up.
Weight force mg pulling down.
Tension force T at an angle θ.
Friction force Fn μ pushing left.
Sum the forces in the y direction:
∑F = ma
Fn + T sin θ − mg = 0
Fn = mg − T sin θ
Sum the forces in the x direction:
∑F = ma
T cos θ − Fn μ = 0
Fn μ = T cos θ
μ = T cos θ / Fn
μ = T cos θ / (mg − T sin θ)
Given T = 164 N, θ = 10.0°, m = 65.0 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s²:
μ = (164 N cos 10.0°) / (65.0 kg × 9.8 m/s² − 164 N sin 10.0°)
μ = 0.265
The answer is to this question is B
