A child slides down a snow‑covered slope on a sled. At the top of the slope, her mother gives her a push to start her off with a

speed of 1.10 m/s. The frictional force acting on the sled is one‑fifth of the combined weight of the child and the sled. If she travels for a distance of 22.5 m and her speed at the bottom is 3.70 m/s, calculate the angle that the slope makes with the horizontal.

Answer:

θ = 13.16 °

Explanation:

Lets take mass of child = m

Initial velocity ,u= 1.1 m/s

Final velocity ,v=3.7 m/s

d= 22.5 m

The force due to gravity along the incline plane = m g sinθ

The friction force = (m g)/5

Now from work power energy

We know that

work done by all forces = change in kinetic energy

( m g sinθ - (m g)/5 ) d = 1/2 m v² - 1/2 m u²

(2  g sinθ - ( 2 g)/5 ) d = v² -  u²

take g = 10 m/s²

(20 sinθ - ( 20)/5 ) 22.5 = 3.7² -  1.1²

20 sinθ - 4 =12.48/22.5

θ = 13.16 °

<span>The egg doesn't break when it hits the sheet because the impact time is longer. Momentum means the egg is slowed rather than coming to an abrubt halt. The softer the object that the egg hits, the longer the time it takes to break. A sheet is so soft that the force is never high enough for the egg to break.</span>

A 0.5 kg rock is dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the ground. Approximately how much kinetic energy will be stored in the ro
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

2.45 J

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 0.5 kg

Height (h) = 1 m

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity of the rock after it has fallen half way. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) = 1/2 = 0.5 m

Final velocity (v) =?

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 0.5)

v² = 9.8

Take the square root of both side

v = √9.8

v = 3.13 m/s

Finally, we shall determine the kinetic energy of the rock after it has fallen half way. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.5 kg

Velocity (v) = 3.13 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 0.5 × 3.13²

KE = 0.25 × 9.8

KE = 2.45 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the rock after it has fallen half way is 2.45 J
