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 train travels a distance of 2000 km at an average speed of 120 km per hour. How long did the trip take? SHOW WORK
Igoryamba
S = d/t, s = 120, d = 2000, t = ?
Input the values,
120 = 2000/t
Make t the subject of the formula by cross multiplying, Therefore,
120t = 2000
Divide both sides by 120
t = 16.7hrs  to 1 decimal place.
If you're asked to convert it, you can.

A 5.30kg block hangs from a spring with a spring constant 1700 N/m. The block is pulled down 4.50cm from the equilibrium positio
Andru [333]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the frequency in a spring, the conservation of energy and the total mechanical energy in the body (kinetic or potential as the case may be)

PART A) By definition the frequency in a spring is given by the equation

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Where,

m = mass

k = spring constant

Our values are,

k=1700N/m

m=5.3 kg

Replacing,

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{1700}{5.3}}

f=2.85 Hz

PART B) To solve this section it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy both potential (simple harmonic) and kinetic in the spring.

\frac{1}{2}kA^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} kY^2

Where,

k = Spring constant

m = mass

y = Vertical compression

v = Velocity

This expression is equivalent to,

kA^2 =mV^2 +ky^2

Our values are given as,

k=1700 N/m

V=1.70 m/s

y=0.045m

m=5.3 kg

Replacing we have,

1700*A^2=5.3*1.7^2 +1700*(0.045)^2

Solving for A,

A^2 = \frac{5.3*1.7^2 +1700*(0.045)^2}{1700}

A ^2 = 0.011035

A=0.105 m \approx 10.5 cm

PART C) Finally, the total mechanical energy is given by the equation

E = \frac{1}{2}kA^2

E=\frac{1}{2}1700*(0.105)^2

E= 9.3712 J
