On an essentially frictionless, horizontal ice rink, a skater moving at 3.0 m/s encounters a rough patch that reduces her speed

by 45% due to a friction force that is 25% of her weight. Use the work‑energy theorem to find the length of this rough patch.

Answer: 1.25 m

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity(v_i )=3 m/s

Final velocity(v_f)=0.55\times 3=1.65 m/s

Change in kinetic Energy =work done by Friction

change in Kinetic Energy=\frac{m}{2}\left ( v_i^2-v_f^2\right )

work done by friction=\mu mgL

\frac{m}{2}\left ( 3^2-1.65^2\right )=0.25\cdot mg\times L

3.135=0.25\times 9.8\times L

L=1.25

You are creating waves in a rope by shaking your hand back and forth. Without changing the distance your hand moves, you begin t
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

<u>Amplitude - remains the same</u>

<u>Frequency - increases</u>

<u>Period - decreases</u>

<u>Velocity - remains the same.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

The amplitude of the wave remains the same since you are not changing the distance your hand moves and the amplitude of the wave depends on how much distance your hand covers while moving.

The frequency of your wave increases since now you are moving your hand more number of times in the same period i.e. your hand is moving faster in one second. So, the frequency of your wave increases.

The period is the time taken by the wave to travel a certain distance. Since your hand is now moving faster, the wave will travel faster and will take less time to cover the same distance hence, we can say that its period will decrease.

The velocity of a wave depends on the medium in which it is travelling. Your wave was previously travelling in air and the new wave is also travelling in the same medium so the velocity of the wave remains unchanged.

You are holding a positive charge and there are positive charges of equal magnitude 1 m to your north and 1 m to your east. what
pychu [463]

By holding a positive charge and there are positive charges of equal magnitude 1 m to your north and 1 m to your east. Therefore, the direction of the force on the charge you are holding will be to the southwest.

Let I hold the charge , q at the centre of given co-ordinate system and two positive charge of equal magnitude Q are placed 1 m to my North and 1 m to my South .

now, both the charge are same nature e.g., positive . Let my charge is also positive (well, you can assume negative too , I am considering positive because it makes me easy to solve) then, both charge repel to my charge.

charge Q placed on east is repelling my charge q toward west . similarly charge Q placed on North is repelling my charge q toward south.

Now , use vector for solve it.

vector F_{net} = vector Fe + vector Fn,

⇒ |F_{net}| = \sqrt{}  F^{2} _{e } + F^{2}_n

⇒ Fe = Fs = KqQ/(1m)² = KqQ

⇒ F_{net} = √{Fe² + Fs²} = √{(kqQ)²+(KqQ)²}

⇒ F_{net}= √2KqQ

Hence, net force act on q {my charge } is √2KqQ and the direction of force is S - W (southwest )direction.

A loop of wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field. For what orientation of the loop is the magnetic flux a maximum? For what
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The flux is calculated as φ=BAcosθ. The flux is thereforemaximum when the magnetic field vector is perpendicular to theplane of the loop. We may also deduce that the flux is zero whenthere is no component of the magnetic field that is perpendicularto the loop.

when angle is zero then flux is maximium because when angle zerocos is maximium

<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which  <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy U_{p} will be:

U_{p}=mgh  

Where m is the mass of the object, g the acceleration due gravity and h the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of U_{p} is directly proportional to the height.
