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}}

Which temperature is the hottest? 98 F or 39 C or 303K?<br> F= 1.8C + 32<br> C= (F-32)/1.8
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The hottest temperature is  T_2 = 39^o C

Explanation:

From the question we are given

    T_1 =  98 F

  T_2 =  39^oC

  T_3 =  303 \  K

Generally converting T_3 to  Fahrenheit

    T_3' =  (T_3 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_3' =  (303 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_3' = 86 F

Converting  T_2 to  Fahrenheit

      T_2' =  T_2 * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_2' =  39 * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_2' =102.2 F  

Now comparing  the temperature  in Fahrenheit we see that T_2  is the hottest

Two people push on the same door from opposite sides as shown.
tangare [24]
The correct answer is
<span>c. one person exerts more force than the other so that the forces are unbalanced.

In fact, the door is initially at rest. In order to move the door, a net force different from zero should be applied, according to Newton's second law:
</span>\sum F = ma
<span>where the term on the left is the resultant of the forces acting on the door, m is the door mass and a its acceleration.

In order to move the door, the acceleration must be different from zero. But this means that the resultant of the forces acting on it must be different from zero: this is possible only if  the forces applied by the two persons are unbalanced, i.e. one person exerts more force than the other.</span>

Which best describes the surface of a concave mirror? It is flat. It is textured. It curves outward. It curves inward.
Sonja [21]

The concave mirror is a spherical-shaped mirror that has an inner curved surface. Hence, option (4) is correct.

What is a concave mirror?

The concave mirrors are spherical-shaped mirrors that are painted on the outward surface. It is also known as the converging mirror, having the recessed inner reflecting surface.

  • The concave mirrors are generally used for the purpose to focus the light. For that, they might have a reflecting surface, curved inwards, and the reflection of light is limited to the single focal point.
  • The reflecting surface of the concave mirror has its vertex or midpoint lying farther away from the objects than the edges.

Thus, we can conclude that the surface of the concave mirror is curved inward. Hence, option (4) is correct.
