A boy coasts down a hill on a sled, reaching a level surface at the bottom with a speed of 5.9 m/s. if the coefficient of fricti

on between the sled's runners and snow is 0.045 and the boy and sled together weigh 590 n, how far does the sled travel on the level surface before coming to rest?

Frictional force = vertical force x coeff of friction = 590N x 0.045 = 26.55N

Mass of boy and sled = 590N / g = 590N / 9.8m/s^2 = 60.20 kg

Deceleration due to friction = 26.55N / 60.20kg = 0.44 m/s^2.

For constant acceleration we have:

v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and ti is time. In this case v = 0, u = 5.9 m/s, a = -0.44 m/s^2. So we have
0 = 5.9 - 0.44t
which gives t = 5.9 / 0.44 = 13.409 s.

Distance traveled in this time d = ut + 0.5at^2 = 5.9 x 13.409 - 0.5 x 0.44 x 13.409^2 = 39.56 m

Two football players are pushing a 60 kg blocking sled across the field at a constant speed of 2.0 m/s. The coefficient of kinet
MArishka [77]

Answer:

The sled slides d=0.155 meters before rest.

Explanation:

m= 60 kg

V= 2 m/s

μ= 0.3

g= 9.8 m/s²

W= m * g

W= 588 N

Fr= μ* W

Fr= 176.4 N

∑F = m * a

a= (W+Fr)/m

a= 12.74m/s²

t= V/a

t= 0.156 s

d= V*t - a*t²/2

d= 0.155 m

Stars of spectral type A and F are considered ________.
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

<u>B. the stars of spectral type A and F are considered reasonably to have habitable planets but much less likely to have planets with complex plant - or animal - like life.</u>

Explanation:

The appropriate spectral range for habitable stars is considered to be "late F" or "G", to "mid-K" or even late "A". <em>This corresponds to temperatures of a little more than 7,000 K down to a little less than 4,000 K</em> (6,700 °C to 3,700 °C); the Sun, a G2 star at 5,777 K, is well within these bounds. "Middle-class" stars (late A, late F, G , mid K )of this sort have a number of characteristics considered important to planetary habitability:

• They live at least a few billion years, allowing life a chance to evolve. <em>More luminous main-sequence stars of the "O", "B", and "A" classes usually live less than a billion years and in exceptional cases less than 10 million.</em>

• They emit enough high-frequency ultraviolet radiation to trigger important atmospheric dynamics such as ozone formation, but not so much that ionisation destroys incipient life.

• They emit sufficient radiation at wavelengths conducive to photosynthesis.

• Liquid water may exist on the surface of planets orbiting them at a distance that does not induce tidal locking.

<u><em>Thus , the stars of spectral type A and F are considered reasonably to have habitable planets but much less likely to have planets with complex plant - or animak - like life.</em></u>

A space shuttle is flying north at 6,510 m/s. It
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

7808 m/s

Explanation:

Find NE velocity after 60 s  of acceleration in that direction:

  = a t  =  28.4 m/s^2 * 60 s = 1704  m/s

    Vertical component = 1704 sin 45 = 1204.9 m/s

     Horiz component = 1704 cos 45 = 1204.9  m/s

Add the two vertical components

  6510 + 1204.9 = 7714.9 m/s = vertical velocity

Pythagorean theorem to find resultant of vertical and horiz  v's

Vf ^2 = 1204.9^2   + 7714.9^2 0

Vf = 7808. m/s
