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

Energy from the Sun arrives at the top of the Earth’s atmosphere with an intensity of 1.30kW/m21.30⁢kW/m2. How long does it take
vivado [14]

Answer:

T=1.384×10⁶seconds

Explanation:

Given data

p (Intensity)=1.30 kw/m²

E (Energy)=1.8×10⁹ J

A (Area)=1.00 m²

T (Time required)=?

Solution

E=PT   ................eq(i)

where E is energy

P is radiation power

T is time

Radiating Power is given as

P=pA

Where p is intensity

A is Area

Put P=pA in eq(i) we get

E=pAT

T=E/pA

T=\frac{(1.8*10^{9}}{(1.30*10^{3} )*(1.00)}  )\\T=1.38*10^{6} seconds

Answer:

The value is  C = 30729\  c

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The power rating of the stove is  P = 4.4 KW  = 4.4 *10^{3} \  W

   The duration of its use everyday is t_1  = 70 \ minutes  = 1.167 \ hours    

    The rating of the light bulbs is P_2'  = 150 W

   The number is n = 7

   The power rating of the total  bulb is  P_2 = 7 * 150 = 1050 \  W

    The duration of its use everyday is  t_2  = 7 hours

    The power rating of miscellaneous appliance P_3 = 1.8 \ KW = 1.8 *10^{3} \  W

    The duration of its use everyday is t_3 = 1 hour

     The power rating of hot water P = 4 KW  = 4 *10^{3} \  W

      The duration of its use everyday is t_4 = 120 \ minutes  = 2 hours

Generally the total electrical energy used in 1 month is mathematically represented as

    E = P_1 * t_1 * 30 + P_2 * t_2 * 30 + P_3 * t_3 * 30+ P_4 * t_4 * 30

=>  E = 4.4*10^{3} * 1.167  * 30 + 1050 * 7 * 30 + 1.8 *1 * 30+ 4*10^{3} * 2 * 30

=>  E = 614598  \ W \cdot h

=>   E = 614.6  \  K W \cdot h

Generally the monthly electricity  bill is mathematically represented as

    C = 614.6 * 50

=> C = 30729\  c

The activation of clotting factors will be blocked.
dedylja [7]

With the blocking of activation of clotting factors, the rate of conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin will decrease to a huge extent and this will prevent the clot formation.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The process of stopping of flow of blood through any wound by formation of a clot is known as blood clotting. The clot in blood is formed by conversion of the fibrinogen protein into its polymer form fibrin which forms a meshwork.

The conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin requires a lot of enzymes and factors present which is required one by one, known as the Cascade theory. Total of 13 factors are required, where there are prothrombin, thromboplastin, and different other factors. Inactivation of any of the 13 factors will lead to less conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, thereby the rate of conversion will highly decrease.

A roller coaster car may be approximated by a block of mass m. Thecar, which starts from rest, is released at a height h above t
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The first part can be solved via conservation of energy.

mgh = mg2R + K\\K = mg(h-2R)

For the second part,

the free body diagram of the car should be as follows:

- weight in the downwards direction

- normal force of the track to the car in the downwards direction

The total force should be equal to the centripetal force by Newton's Second Law.

F = ma = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\mg + N = \frac{mv^2}{R}

where N = 0 because we are looking for the case where the car loses contact.

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\v^2 = gR\\v = \sqrt{gR}

Now we know the minimum velocity that the car should have. Using the energy conservation found in the first part, we can calculate the minimum height.

mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}m(gR)\\gh = g2R + \frac{1}{2}gR\\h = 2R + \frac{R}{2}\\h = \frac{5R}{2}

Explanation:

The point that might confuse you in this question is the direction of the normal force at the top of the loop.

We usually use the normal force opposite to the weight. However, normal force is the force that the road exerts on us. Imagine that the car goes through the loop very very fast. Its tires will feel a great amount of normal force, if its velocity is quite high. By the same logic, if its velocity is too low, it might not feel a normal force at all, which means losing contact with the track.
