F = ma

F = applied force in newtons = to be determined

m = mass of the car = 2,500 kg

a = acceleration of the car = 3.5 m/s²

F = (2,500 kg)(3.5 m/s²)

F =8750

A child whose weight is 287 N slides down a 7.20 m playground slide that makes an angle of 31.0Â° with the horizontal. The coeff

Answer:

$H =212.6 \ J$

$v = 7.647 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The child's weight is $W_c = 287 \ N$

The length of the sliding surface of the playground is $L = 7.20 \ m$

The coefficient of friction is $\mu = 0.120$

The angle is $\theta = 31.0 ^o$

The initial speed is $u = 0.559 \ m/s$

Generally the normal force acting on the child is mathematically represented as

=> $N = mg * cos \theta$

Note $m * g = W_c$

Generally the frictional force between the slide and the child is

$F_f = \mu * mg * cos \theta$

Generally the resultant force acting on the child due to her weight and the frictional force is mathematically represented as

$F =m* g sin(\theta) - F_f$

Here F is the resultant force and it is represented as $F = ma$

=> $ma = m* g sin(31.0) - \mu * mg * cos (31.0)$

=> $a = g sin(31.0)- \mu * g * cos (31.0)$

=> $a = 9.8 * sin(31.0) - 0.120 * 9.8 * cos (31.0)$

=> $a = 4.039 \ m/s^2$

$F_f = 0.120 * 287 * cos (31.0)$

=> $F_f = 29.52 \ N$

Generally the heat energy generated by the frictional force which equivalent tot the workdone by the frictional force is mathematically represented as

$H = F_f * L$

=> $H = 29.52 * 7.2$

=> $H =212.6 \ J$

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

=> $v^2 = 0.559^2 + 2 * 4.039 * 7.2$

=> $v = \sqrt{0.559^2 + 2 * 4.039 * 7.2}$

=> $v = 7.647 \ m/s$

As in the video, we apply a charge +Q to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. This time, we also apply a charge –Q to t

Andreyy89

Answer:

Explanation:

When the positively charged half shell is brought in contact with the electroscope, its needle deflects due to charge present on the shell.

When the negatively charged half shell is brought in contact with the positively charged shell , the positive and negative charge present on each shell neutralises each other .So both the shells lose their charges .The positive half shell also loses all its charges

When we separate the half shells , there will be no deflection in the electroscope because both the shell have already lost their charges and they have become neutral bodies . So they will not be able to produce any deflection in the electroscope.

An ice cube floats in a glass of water. will cold flow from ice into the water

Ber [7]

It'll certainly seem like it, because the water will get cold. But cold is not a thing. Heat is. What actually happens is that heat from the water flow into the ice (and melts it).
