A. how much work is done by friction as the sled moves 30.0 m along the hill

We use the formula:

friction work = -µmgdcosΘ 

friction work = -0.100 * 90 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 30 m * cos 60

friction work = - 1,323 J

 

B. how much work is done by the rope on the sled in this distance?

We use the formula:

rope work = -mgd(sinΘ - µcosΘ) <span>
</span>rope work = - 90 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 30 m (sin 60 – 0.100 * cos 60)

rope work = 21,592 J

 

C. what is the work done by the gravitational force on the sled?

We use the formula:

gravity work = mgdsinΘ 

gravity work = 90 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 30 m * sin 60

gravity work = 22,915 J

 

D. what is the total work done?

We add everything:

total work = - 1,323 J + 21,592 J + 22,915 J

<span>total work = 43,184 J</span>

Part (a): the work done by friction is \boxed{1324.35\text{ J}}

Part (b): the work done by rope is \boxed{21614.07\text{ J}}.

Part (c): the work done by gravitational force is \boxed{22938.42\text{ J}}.

Part (d): total work done is \boxed{43228.14\text{ J}}.

Further Explanation:

The rope is doing work against the gravity. The friction always acts against the direction of motion. Therefore, the friction is in direction of gravity.

Given:

Mass of victim is 90\text{ kg}.

The inclination of plane is 60^\circ.

The coefficient of plane is 0.1.

The distance travelled on plane is 30\text{ m}.

Concept:

Equations for free body diagram of victim:

Force equation:

Normal force on sled is mgcos\theta.

Friction force:

f=\mu N  

Substitute mgcos\theta for N in above equation.

f=\mu mgcos\theta    

Here, f is the friction force, m is the mass of victim, g is the gravitational acceleration, \mu is the coefficient of friction and \theta is the inclination of plane.

The gravitational force on the sled is mgsin\theta.

Work equation:

(a)

Work done by friction:

W_f=-fd  

Substitute \mu mgcos\theta for f in above equation.

\boxed{W_f=-\mu mdgcos\theta}  

Substitute 90\text{ kg} for m, 30\text{ m} for d, 9.81\text{ m}/\text{s}^2 for g, 0.1 for \mu and 60^\circ for \theta in above equation.

\begin{aligned}W_f&=-0.1\times90\times30\times9.81\times cos\theta\\&=-1324.35\text{ J}\end{aligned}  

Negative sign shows that friction is acting against the motion.

Thus, the work done by friction is \boxed{1324.35\text{ J}}

(b)  

Work done by rope:

\boxed{W_r=mdgsin\theta+W_f}  

Substitute 90\text{ kg} for m, 30\text{ m} for d, 9.81\text{ m}/\text{s}^2 for g, 60^\circ for \theta and -1324.35\text{ J} for W_f in above equation.

\begin{aligned}W_r&=90\times30\times9.81\times sin60^\circ-1324.35\text{ J}\\&=21614.07\text{ J}\end{aligned}  

Thus, the work done by rope is \boxed{21614.07\text{ J}}.

(c)

Work done by gravitational force:

\boxed{W_w=mdgsin\theta}  

Substitute 90\text{ kg} for m, 30\text{ m} for d, 9.81\text{ m}/\text{s}^2 for g and 60^\circ for \theta in above equation.

\begin{aligned}W_w&=90\times30\times9.81\times sin60^\circ\\&=22938.42\text{ J}\end{aligned}  

Thus, the work done by gravitational force is \boxed{22938.42\text{ J}}.

(d)

Total work done:

\boxed{W=W_r+W_w+W_f}  

Substitute 21614.07\text{ J} for W_r, 22938.42\text{ J} for W_w and \boxed{-1324.35\text{ J}} for W_f in above equation.

\begin{aligned}W&=21614.07+22938.42-1324.35\text{ J}\\&=43228.14\text{ J}\end{aligned}

Thus, total work done is \boxed{43228.14\text{ J}}

15 points! An atomic nucleus initially moving at 420 m/s emits an alpha particle in the direction of its velocity, and the remai
alexandr1967 [171]

The alpha particle is emitted at 4235 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the law of conservation of momentum to solve the problem: the total momentum of the original nucleus must be equal to the total momentum after the alpha particle has been emitted. Therefore:

p_i = p_f\\ Mu=m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 =  

where:  

M =222u is the mass of the original nucleus

v=420 m/s is the initial velocity of the nucleus

m_1 = 4 u is the mass of the alpha particle

v_1 is the final velocity of the alpha particle

m_2 = 222u-4u = 218 u is the mass of the daughter nucleus

v_2 = 350 m/s is the final velocity of the nucleus

Solving for v_1, we  find the final velocity of the alpha particle:

v_1 = \frac{Mu-m_2 v_2}{m_1}=\frac{(222)(420)-(218)(350)}{4}=4235 m/s

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Technician A only

Explanation:

Both high-side pressures and low-side pressures are low with the engine running and the selector set to the air-conditioning position. Technician A says that the system is undercharged. Technician B says the cooling fan could be inoperative. Which technician is correct?

usually . An overcharged system will result in lower than normal low side pressures

An undercharged system will not enable  the compressor  to create pressure. As a result of the low amount of refrigerant, the cooling ability is reduced. When we say undercharged, we mean the refrigerant in the system is low, so the both the high side pressures and low side pressures will be low.

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules _______, the average
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules increases, the average force of an individual collision increases, and the average number of collisions with the wall, per unit area, per second increases.

As volume is reduced, the gas molecules come closer together, which increases the number of collisions between them and their collisions with the container walls. Also, since the distance traveled by each molecule between successive collision decreases, the molecule velocity doesn't decrease much within collisions as a result of which, the average velocity is higher compared to when the gas is stored in a larger volume. Finally, due to constant collisions, the direction of molecule travel changes rapidly owing to which the acceleration of molecules increases.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer

Given,

Time period of star,T = 3.37 x 10⁷ s

Radius of circular orbit,R = 1.04 x 10¹¹ m

a) Angular speed of the planet

   \omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}=\dfrac{2\pi}{3.37\times 10^{7}}

   \omega = 1.864\times 10^{-7}\ rad/s

b) tangential speed

   v = r \omega = 1.04\times 10^{11}\times 1.864 \times 10^{-7}

       v = 1.94 x 10⁴ m/s

c) centripetal acceleration magnitude

      a = \dfrac{v^2}{r}= \dfrac{(1.94\times 10^4)^2}{1.04\times 10^{11}}

          a = 3.62 x 10⁻³ m/s²
