A girl coasts down a hill on a sled, reaching level ground at the bottom with a speed of 7.4 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic fri

ction between the sled’s runners and the hard, icy snow is 0.045, and the girl and sled together weigh 735 N. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . How far does the sled travel on the level ground before coming to a rest? Answer in units of m.

Answer: 62.22 meters

Explanation:

Two solve this, we need to know first how the Sled interact with the snow. While the Sled runs over the snow, the snow opposes to it movement, this is call friction. Frictions creates is a force that goes against any movement and is caused by the interaction between surfaces.

Friction can be calculated using the following equation:

Friction's Force (Ff) = m*N

Where m is the Frictions coficient and N is call Normal, which is a force created by the contact between any weight and a surface. Because the sled is and the surface are totally horizontal, the Normal is equal to the Sled's Weight.

So for this case, we can calculate the Friction's Force:

Ff = 0.045 * 735 N

Ff = 33,07 N

This force will cause a negative acceleration the Sled causing it to slow down and finally stop. To know this accelaration we can use the following equation:

Force (F) = Mass (m) * Accelaration (a)

Looking for the accelaration:

Acceleration (a) = F / M

As a side note:

Mass (M) = F / a                                        (1)

Where we know that F is equal to our Friction Force (Ff) and the Mass for the girl and the Sled can be obtained using the previous equation (1) like this

Girl and sled Mass (M) = 735 N / (9.81 m/s)

M = 74,92 Kg

This is posible, because the Girl and The Sled are aplying a Force on the ground equal to 735 N. The accelartion for their mass is the gravity

Now, with the mass we can found the Accelaration caused by friction:

Acceleration (a) = Ff / M

Accelaration (a) = 33,07 N / 74,92 Kg

a = 0,44 m/s^{2}

To know how far the Sled travel we can use the following equation:

V_{f} ^{2} = V_{0} ^{2} + 2ax

Where Vf is the Final Velocity, which is when the sled finally stops (Vf = 0), Vo is the Initial Speed of the Sled equal to 7.4 m/s and a is equal to the negative accelaration that causes the friction.

(0)^{2} = (7.4 m/s)^{2} + 2(-0,44)x

Searching for x:

x = \frac{0 - (7.4 m/s)^{2} }{-0.88}

x = \frac{0 - (7.4 m/s)^{2} }{-0.88}

x = \frac{0 - (7.4 m/s)^{2} }{-0.88}

x = 62.22 meters

The girls will run over the snow 62.22 meter until finally stopping

A block of mass 0.08 kg is pushed against a spring with spring constant k=31 N/m. The spring is compressed 0.15 meters from its
ELEN [110]

Answer:

1.11 meters

Explanation:

As the spring is compressed, elastic potential energy is built up in the spring. The total elastic potential energy can be found using the following formula

Ep = 1/2 x k x s²          

where k = 31 N/m  (spring constant)

s = 0.15 m  (compression)

Ep = 3.4875 J

When the block of mass is released, the elastic potential energy (Ep) is converted to kinetic energy (Ek). From this we can find the initial velocity of the mass of block after release

Ek = 1/2 x m x u²    

   

where Ek = Ep = 3.4875J

m = 0.08 kg  (mass of block)

u = unknown (initial velocity)

u = 2.9526 m/s

Now that we know the initial velocity we need to find the deceleration of the mass of block due to friction. We will first find the force of friction from the following formula

F = ∪ x m x g          

where F = unknown (frictional force)

∪ = 0.4   (coefficient of friction)

m = 0.08 kg   (mass of block)

g = 9.81 m/s² (acceleration due to gravity)

F = 0.31392 N

From this force we calculate the deceleration based on the following formula

F = m x a                  

where F = 0.31392   (frictional force)

m = 0.08 kg   (mass of block)

a = unknown  (acceleration)

a = -3.924 m/s²      -

*the negative sign is due to this value being deceleration

Now to find the total distance traveled we use the equation for motion

v² = u² + 2as            

where  v = 0 (final velocity)

u = 2.9526 m/s (initial velocity

a = -3.924 m/s² (deceleration due to friction)

s = unknown (distance traveled)

s = 1.11 meters

Comparison between copper properties and aluminium properties​
mixas84 [53]
Hopes this helps:

Answer: Aluminum has 61 percent of the conductivity of copper, but has only 30 percent of the weight of copper. That means that a bare wire of aluminum weights half as much as a bare wire of copper that has the same electrical resistance. Aluminum is generally more inexpensive when compared to copper conductors.

Joe is attempting to ramp his bicycle over a row of burning tires. If the ramp has a launch angle of 20 degrees, and Joe can ped
Luden [163]
Answer is 6 tires.

This is a projectile question.

First make sure units are consistent - express speed in m/s.

20 km/h = 20000m / 3600 s = 5.56 m/s

Assume the takeoff point of the ramp is at ground level (height, h, = 0m). We need to determine how long Joe is in the air, and use that time to calculate the horizontal distance he traveled.

Joe is traveling 5.56 m/s on a ramp angled at 20 degrees. There are vertical and horizontal components to his speed:

Vertical speed = 5.56sin20 = 1.90 m/s
Horizontal speed = 5.56cos20 = 5.22 m/s

An easy way to proceed is to calculate the time it takes for Joe’s vertical speed to reach 0m/s - this represents the time when Joe is at his maximum height and is therefore halfway through the trip. Double whatever time this is to find the total time of the trip. Remember he is decelerating due to gravity:

Time to peak:
a = Δv / Δt
-9.8 = -1.9 / Δt
Δt = 0.19s

Total trip time:
0.19 x 2 = 0.38s

Now that we have the total tome Joe is in the air, we can find the horizontal distance he traveled:

v = d / t
5.22 = d / 0.38
d = 1.98m

Now divide this total distance by the length of an individual tire to find the number of tires he will clear:

1.98 / 0.3 = 6.6 tires

Therefore he can jump 6 tires safely (he will land in the middle of the 7th tire).

Lots of steps I know but just try to think of the situation and keep track of the vertical and horizontal things!
