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

A 545-kg satellite is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height above Earth equal to Earth's mean radius. (a) Find the satelli
Art [367]

Answer

given,

mass of satellite = 545 Kg

R = 6.4 x 10⁶ m

H = 2 x 6.4 x 10⁶ m

Mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

height above earth is equal to earth's mean radius

a) satellite's orbital velocity

   centripetal force acting on satellite = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

     gravitational force = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}

    equating both the above equation

    \dfrac{mv^2}{r} = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}

      v = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}

      v = \sqrt{\dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}}{2 \times 6.4 \times 10^6}}

          v = 5578.5 m/s

b) T= \dfrac{2\pi\ r}{v}

   T= \dfrac{2\pi\times 2\times 6.4 \times 10^6}{5578.5}

   T= \dfrac{2\pi\times 2\times 6.4 \times 10^6}{5578.5}

          T = 14416.92 s

          T = \dfrac{14416.92}{3600}\ hr

          T = 4 hr

c) gravitational force acting

  F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}

  F = \dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 545 \times 5.972 \times 10^{24} }{(6.46 \times 10^6)^2}

     F = 5202 N

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

a. a black hole

Explanation:

X-ray emission from the central degrees of the Milky Way Bright X-ray emission traces the coherent edge brightened shell-like feature, dubbed the northern chimney, located north of Sgr A* and characterized by a diameter of about 160 pc. On the opposite side, the southern chimney appears as a bright linear feature. Bright X-ray emission is observed at high latitude

Help me with this???
Vikentia [17]

Yo sup??

Average velocity=total distance covered/total time taken

total distance covered=4 + 8=12 miles

total time taken=6 hours

Therefore

average velocity=12/6

=2 miles/hour

Hope this helps

Studentka2010 [4]
  • Question: Josh manages security at a power plant. The facility is sensitive, and security is very important. He would like to incorporate two-factor authentications with physical security. Which of the options below is the best way to meet this requirement?  A) Smart cards B) A mantrap with a smart card at one door and a pin keypad at the other door C) A mantrap with video surveillance D) A fence with smart card gate access  Answer: The correct answer is (B) A mantrap with a smart card at one door and a pin keypad at the other door  Explanation: Multi-factor access control systems are access control systems that authorises access only after more than one piece of evidence is presented to authenticate a user. The mechanisms used in multi-factor authentication include 1.  Knowledge (something the user and only the user knows),  2.  Possession (something the user and only the user has), and  3.  Inherence (something the user and only the user is). A two-factor authentication system uses two of these mechanisms to grant or deny access. An authentication system that uses a mantrap with a smart card (possession) on one door and a pin keypad (knowledge ) on the other door is a two factor authentication system.
