A 112 g hockey puck sent sliding over ice is stopped in 16.8 m by the frictional force on it from the ice. (a) If its initial sp

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the hockey puck, m = 112 g = 0.112 kg

The hockey puck is stopped at a distance of 16.8 m.

(a) Initial speed of the puck, u = 8.1 m/s

We need to find the magnitude of the frictional force. Firstly, calculating the acceleration of the puck using third equation of kinematics as :

v^2-u^2=2ax

v = 0 (as it stops)

-u^2=2ax

a=\dfrac{-u^2}{2x}

a=\dfrac{-(8.1)^2}{2\times 16.8}

a=-1.95\ m/s^2

The frictional force is given by :

f = m a

f=0.112\ kg\times 1.95\ m/s^2

f = 0.218 N

(b) Also the frictional force is given by :

f=\mu N

And N = mg (normal force)

f=\mu mg

\mu=\dfrac{f}{mg}

\mu=\dfrac{0.218}{0.112\times 9.8}

\mu=0.198

Hence, this is the required solution.

A loud sound is produced in the downtown section of a city. Which of the following is least likely to occur with the sound wave
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

A. The sound wave will reflect off Buildings and automobiles.

Explanation:

This is because the sound waves would more likely propagate through diffraction through buildings and transmission through the air. It is also more likely to be absorbed by buildings than for multiple reflections to occur off buildings and automobiles. In the process of reflection, these materials would absorb the sound energy thereby reducing its ability to reflect.

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

1.6 J

Explanation:

Work = change in energy

W = ΔKE

Fd = KE

(0.8 N) (2 m) = KE

KE = 1.6 J

The number of confirmed exoplanets is (a) less than 10; (b) roughly 50; (c) more than 500; (d) more than 5000.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

(c) more than 500

Explanation:

Until 2019, more than 3000 planetary systems have been discovered that contain more than 4000 exoplanets, since some of these systems contain multiple planets. Most known extrasolar planets are gas giants equal to or more massive than the planet Jupiter, with orbits very close to its star.
