To solve the problem it is necessary to apply conservation of the moment and conservation of energy.

By conservation of the moment we know that

MV=mv

Where

M=Heavier mass

V = Velocity of heavier mass

m = lighter mass

v = velocity of lighter mass

That equation in function of the velocity of heavier mass is

V = \frac{mv}{M}

Also we have that m/M = 1/7 times

On the other hand we have from law of conservation of energy that

W_f = KE

Where,

W_f = Work made by friction

KE = Kinetic Force

Applying this equation in heavier object.

F_f*S = \frac{1}{2}MV^2

\mu M*g*S = \frac{1}{2}MV^2

\mu g*S = \frac{1}{2}( \frac{mv}{M})^2

\mu = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{7}v)^2

\mu = \frac{1}{98}v^2

\mu = \frac{1}{g(98)(5.1)}v^2

Here we can apply the law of conservation of energy for light mass, then

\mu mgs = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Replacing the value of \mu

\frac{1}{g(98)(5.1)}v^2  mgs = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Deleting constants,

s= \frac{(98*5.1)}{2}

s = 249.9m

How could you tell whether or not you are in a magnetic feild
Aleks04 [339]
Magnetic fields are areas where an object exhibits a magnetic influence. The fields affect neighboring objects along things called magnetic field lines. A magnetic object can attract or push away another magnetic object. You also need to remember that magnetic forces are NOT related to gravity. The amount of gravity is based on an object's mass, while magnetic strength is based on the material that the object is made of.

skateboarder, starting from rest, rolls down a 13.5 m ramp. When she arrives at the bottom of the ramp her speed is 7.37 m/s. If
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

1.7 m/s²

Explanation:

d = length of the ramp = 13.5 m

v₀ = initial speed of the skateboarder = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the skateboarder = 7.37 m/s

a = acceleration

Using the equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a d

7.37² = 0² + 2 a (13.5)

a = 2.01 m/s²

θ = angle of the incline relative to ground = 29.9

a' = Component of acceleration parallel to the ground

Component of acceleration parallel to the ground is given as

a' = a Cosθ

a' = 2.01 Cos29.9

a' = 1.7 m/s²

A coin of mass m rests on a turntable a distance r from the axis of rotation. The turntable rotates with a frequency of f. What
Crank

Answer:

\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}

Explanation:

N = normal force acting on the coin

Normal force in the upward direction balances the weight of the coin, hence

N = mg

f = frequency of rotation

Angular velocity of turntable is hence given as

w = 2\pi f

r = distance from the axis of rotation

\mu = minimum coefficient of static friction

static frictional force is given as

f = \mu N\\f = \mu mg

The  static frictional force provides the necessary centripetal force , hence

Centripetal force = Static frictional force

m r w^{2} = \mu mg\\r w^{2} = \mu g\\\\\mu = \frac{r w^{2}}{g} \\\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}
