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

if you were to increase either mass or speed by a unit of 1 in a joules calculation, which would give you more energy?
musickatia [10]

Answer:increasing any of them, either mass or speed by 1unit will cause an increase in energy,

Explanation:

By increasing any of them, either mass or speed will cause an increase in energy.

Because kinetic energy is proportional to mass and also directly proportional to velocity

Answer:

Galileo

Explanation:

Galileo Galilei pioneered the experimental scientific method, and was the first to use a refracting telescope to make important astronomical discoveries. He is often referred to as the "father of modern astronomy" and the "father of modern physics". Albert Einstein called Galileo the "father of modern science."

The spreading of waves behind an aperture ismore for long wavelengths and less for short wavelengths.less for long wavelengths a
kompoz [17]
<h2>Answer: The spreading of waves behind an aperture ismore for long wavelengths and less for short wavelengths</h2>

Here we are talking about Diffraction and, in fact, waves diffract the most when their wavelength is about the same size of the gap or aperture.

Diffraction happens when a wave (mechanical or electromagnetic wave) meets an obstacle or a slit .When this occurs, <u>the wave bends around the corners of the obstacle or passes through the opening of the slit that acts as an obstacle, forming multiple patterns with the shape of the aperture of the slit. </u>

<u />

Note that the principal condition for the occurrence of this phenomena is that the obstacle must be comparable in size (similar size) to the size of the wavelength.

In other words, when the gap (or slit) size is larger than the wavelength, the wave passes through the gap and does not spread out much on the other side, but when the gap size is equal to the wavelength, maximum diffraction occurs and the waves spread out greatly.

This means the smaller the slit or obstacle (diffracting object), the wider the resulting diffraction pattern, and the greater the obstacle, the narrower de resulting patter.
