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}}

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The first frequency of audible sound in the speed sound is

f = 662 Hz

Explanation:

vs = 344 m/s

x =  52 cm * 1 / 100m = 0.52m

The wave length is the distance between the peak and peak so

d = 2x

d = 2*0.52 m

d = 1.04 m

So the frequency in the speed velocity is

f = 1 / T

f = vs / x = 344 m/s / 0.52m

f ≅ 662 Hz
