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

During Photosynthesis, solar energy is absorbed. What kind of reaction is<br> taking place?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

In the light-dependent reactions, which take place at the thylakoid membrane, chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight and then converts it into chemical energy with the use of water. The light-dependent reactions release oxygen from the hydrolysis of water as a byproduct.

What current, in units of milliAmperes, would produce a potential difference of 4.5
Bess [88]

Answer;

<u>= 56.96 mA</u>

Explanation;

From the Ohm's law;

V = IR, where V is the potential difference in volts, I is the electric current in amperes and R is the resistance in ohms.

V = 4.5 volts, R = 79 Ω

Making I the subject of the formula we get;

I =V/R

= 4.5 /79

= 0.05696 A

But, 1 A = 1000 mA

Thus; 0.05696 × 1000

        <u>= 56.96 mA</u>

Latency refers to the 27 seconds of time it takes for someone to refocus on driving after they finish texting or talking on the
Alexxandr [17]

The term "latency" describes the 27 seconds that pass after someone has finished texting or conversing on the phone before they can concentrate again on driving. The given statement is true.

<h3>What is latency?</h3>

A measure of delay is latency. The amount of time it takes for some data to travel across a network is known as latency.

The amount of time it takes for information to travel from its source to its destination and back is often quantified as a round trip delay.

The 27 seconds that pass after someone has done texting or talking on the phone before they can focus on driving again are referred to as "latency." The assertion is accurate.

Hence, the given statement is true.

To learn more about the latency refer to;

Doss [256]

Answer:

4.6×10^-7 m or 0.46nm

Explanation:

From

Wo= hc/λ

Where:

Wo= work function of the metal

h= planks constant

c= speed of light

λ= wavelength

λ= hc/Wo

λ= 6.6×10^-34 × 3×10^8/4.30×10^-19

λ= 4.6×10^-7 m

A comet is cruising through the solar system at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per hour foe 4 hours time. What is the total distan
Triss [41]

Answer:

<em>The distance covered by comet is </em>200,000 km

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance with time. It is given by the equation speed= \bold{\frac{distance}{time}}

Thus distance= speed*time

In this problem it is given that speed of comet= \frac{50,000km}{hr}

time travelled by the comet= 4 hours

Thus distance= speed*time

                            = 500000*4

                            = \bold{200,000km}
