An 80 kilogram skier slides on waxed skis along a horizontal surface of snow at a constant velocity while pushing with his poles

. What is the horizontal component of the force pushing him forward?

From Newton's First law, if velocity is constant than the net force on the body is zero; or net force in horizontal direction is zero and net force in vertical direction is also zero.

If we assume that the there is negligible friction between waxed skies and snow, than there will be no frictional force on skies in horizontal direction and as net force in horizontal direction is zero, hence the horizontal component of the force pushing him forward is also zero.

g A 1.5-kg mass attached to spring with a force constant of 20.0 N/m oscillates on a horizontal, frictionless track. At t = 0, t
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

(a)    f = 0.58Hz

(b)    vmax = 0.364m/s

(c)    amax = 1.32m/s^2

(d)    E = 0.1J

(e)    x(t)=0.1m*cos(2π(0.58s^{-1})t)

Explanation:

(a) The frequency of the oscillation, in a spring-mass system, is calculated by using the following formula:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}            (1)

k: spring constant = 20.0N/m

m: mass = 1.5kg

you replace the values of m and k for getting f:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{20.0N/m}{1.5kg}}=0.58s^{-1}=0.58Hz

The frequency of the oscillation is 0.58Hz

(b) The maximum speed is given by the following relation:

v_{max}=\omega A=2\pi f A      (2)

A: amplitude of the oscillations = 10.0cm = 0.10m

v_{max}=2\pi (0.58s^{-1})(0.10m)=0.364\frac{m}{s}

The maximum speed of the mass is 0.364 m/s.

The maximum speed occurs when the mass passes trough the equilibrium point of the oscillation.

(c) The maximum acceleration is given by the following formula:

a_{max}=\omega^2A=(2\pi f)^2 A

a_{max}=(2\pi (0.58s^{-1}))(0.10m)=1.32\frac{m}{s^2}

The maximum acceleration is 1.32 m/s^2

The maximum acceleration occurs where the elastic force is a maximum, that is, where the mass is at the maximum distance from the equilibrium point, that is, the acceleration.

(d) The total energy of the system is calculated with the maximum potential elastic energy:

E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2=\frac{1}{2}(20.0N/m)(0.10m)^2=0.1J

The total energy is 0.1J

(e) The displacement as a function of time is:

x(t)=Acos(\omega t)=Acos(2\pi ft)\\\\x(t)=0.1m\ cos(2\pi(0.58s^{-1})t)

Explain the molecular concept of thermal energy.
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The temperature of an object increases when the molecules that make up that object move faster. Thermal energy is energy possessed by an object or system due to the movement of particles within the object or the system.

Whats the difference between speed and velocity of an object
ss7ja [257]
The difference between speed and velocity is that the speed is a scalar quantity which means that you can say that this object has a speed of x m/s but you don't have to define its direction
while the velocity is a vector quantity which means that you have to express the velocity by which it moves in x,y and z directions and its norm is the speed

A particle with charge 3.01 µC on the negative x axis and a second particle with charge 6.02 µC on the positive x axis are each
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The third particle should be at 0.0743 m from the origin on the negative x-axis.

Explanation:

Let's assume that the third charge is on the negative x-axis. So we have:

E_{1}+E_{3}-E_{2}=0

We know that the electric field is:

E=k\frac{q}{r^{2}}

Where:

  • k is the Coulomb constant
  • q is the charge
  • r is the distance from the charge to the point

So, we have:

k\frac{q_{1}}{r_{1}^{2}}+k\frac{q_{3}}{r_{3}^{2}}-k\frac{q_{2}}{r_{2}^{2}}=0

Let's solve it for r(3).

\frac{3.01}{0.0429^{2}}+\frac{9.03}{r_{3}^{2}}-\frac{6.02}{0.0429^{2}}=0

r_{3}=0.0743\:  

Therefore, the third particle should be at 0.0743 m from the origin on the negative x-axis.

I hope it helps you!
