A 50-kg man is driving his snowmobile at a constant speed. The engine applies a force of 360 N and the coefficient of kinetic fr

iction between the snowmobile and the snow is 0.2. What is the mass of the snowmobile?

S_A_V [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

134 kg

Explanation:

The snowmobile is moving at constant speed, so the acceleration is 0.

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F − 360 = 0

F = 360

Friction force equals the normal force times the coefficient of friction:

Nμ = 360

On level ground, the normal force equals the combined weight:

(m + 50)g μ = 360

m + 50 = 360 / (gμ)

m = -50 + 360 / (gμ)

m = -50 + 360 / (9.8 × 0.2)

m ≈ 134 kg

Round as needed.

Atoms that are bonded together to form a new material with new<br> properties and characteristics. .
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Atoms form chemical bonds to make their outer electron shells more stable. ... An ionic bond, where one atom essentially donates an electron to another, forms when one atom becomes stable by losing its outer electrons and the other atoms become stable (usually by filling its valence shell) by gaining the electrons.

If the bonds in the reactants of Figure 7-3 contained 432 kJ of chemical energy and the bonds in the
Yuri [45]

Answer:

  • <u>The energy change would be 46kJ</u>
  • <u>The energy would be absorbed</u>

Explanation:

The <em>energy change </em>during a chemical reation, i.e. the reaction energy, is equal to the chemical energy stored in the<em> bonds of the products </em>less the chemical energy stored in the <em>bonds of the reactants</em>.

Hence:

  • <em>Energy change</em> = 478 kJ - 432kJ = 46kJ

The change is positive, this is, the chemical energy of the products is greater than the chemical energy of the reactants.

That corresponds to the second graph, where the level of the energy of the products in the graph is higher than the level of the energy of the reactants. Therefore, the conclusion is that the reaction <em>absorbed energy</em> and it is endothermic.

How is energy transferred during the water cycle? Question 1 options: Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it duri
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere

Explanation:

In the water cycle, heat energy is gained or lost by water as it undergoes various processes in the cycle.

In evaporation, water molecules gains energy because the molecules of water vibrate faster and become more energetic. Hence they are able to escape into the atmosphere from the surface of the liquid.

In condensation, the molecules of gaseous water looses energy and becomes liquid.

Hence, water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere.

after a large snowstorm you shovel 2000 kilograms of snow off your side walk in 1 hour. you lift the shovel to an average height
solmaris [256]

Lifting a mass to a height, you give it gravitational potential energy of

       (mass) x (gravity) x (height)  joules.

To give it that much energy, that's how much work you do on it.

If 2,000 kg gets lifted to 1.25 meters off the ground, its potential energy is

         (2,000) x (9.8) x (1.25) = 24,500 joules.

If you do it in 1 hour (3,600 seconds), then the average power is

           (24,500 joules) / (3,600 seconds) = 6.8 watts.

None of these figures depends on whether the load gets lifted all at once,
or one shovel at a time, or one flake at a time.

But this certainly is NOT all the work you do.  When you get a shovelful
of snow 1.25 meters off the ground, you don't drop it and walk away, and
it doesn't just float there. You typically toss it, away from where it was laying
and over onto a pile in a place where you don't care if there's a pile of snow
there. In order to toss it, you give it some kinetic energy, so that it'll continue
to sail over to the pile when it leaves the shovel.  All of that kinetic energy
must also come from work that you do ... nobody else is going to take it
from you and toss it onto the pile.

Start at the big tree, and take the instructions one at a time: 1). Walk 15 west. 2). From there, turn around and walk 2 east. 3). From there, walk 7 more east. Where are you from the big tree now ? Aren't you 6 west of it ? I mean, let's see some common sense here !
