Imagine how mercury might be different if it had the same mass as earth. Explain.

1 answer:

4 0

I believe if it were heavier with more mass, then the sun would pull it in and there would be no mercury. It might also be hotter.

A 90 kg ice skater moving at 12.0 m/s on the ice encounters a region of roughed up ice with a coefficient of kinetic friction of

balandron [24]

Answer:

The skater covers a distance of <u>15 m</u> before stopping.

Explanation:

Let the distance traveled before stopping be 'd' m.

Given:

Mass of the skater (m) = 90 kg

Initial velocity of the skater (u) = 12.0 m/s

Final velocity of the skater (v) = 0 m/s (Stops finally)

Coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) = 0.490

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Now, we know that, from work-energy theorem, the work done by the net force on a body is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.

Here, the net force acting on the skater is only frictional force which acts in the direction opposite to motion.

Frictional force is given as:

$f=\mu N$

Where, 'N' is the normal force acting on the skater. As there is no vertical motion, $N=mg$

∴ $f=\mu mg=0.490\times 90\times 9.8=432.18\ N$

Now, work done by friction is a negative work as friction and displacement are in opposite direction and is given as:

$W=-fd=-432.18d$

Now, change in kinetic energy is given as:

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}\times 90(0-12^2)\\\\\Delta K=45\times (-144)=-6480\ J$

Therefore, from work-energy theorem,

$W=\Delta K\\\\-432.18d=6480\\\\d=\frac{6480}{432.18}\\\\d=14.99\approx 15\ m$

Hence, the skater covers a distance of 15 m before stopping.

Use your data (attachment) from Part 3 and Newton’s laws to explain why the force meter measures a force if the cart is moving a

vazorg [7]

The cart experiences a frictional force which is directly proportional to its weight. This means that there must be a force applied on the car to balance the forces on the car to produce a net force of 0.
This is in accordance to Newton's first law which states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless an external force acts on it. The force must be a resultant force.
Therefore, the force needed increases with the total weight of the cart as well as with the added mass in a linear manner.
