A child whose weight is 276 N slides down a 5.90 m playground slide that makes an angle of 34.0° with the horizontal. The coeffi

cient of kinetic friction between slide and child is 0.130. (a) How much energy is transferred to thermal energy? (b) If she starts at the top with a speed of 0.518 m/s, what is her speed at the bottom?

Answer:

Explanation:

weight of child, mg = 276 N

distance, s = 5.90 m

angle of inclination, θ = 34°

coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.130

(a)

The work done by the friction force is converted into heat.

W = μk x mg x Cos θ x s

W = 0.130 x 276 x Cos 34° x 5.90

W = 175.5 Joule

Thus, the amount of thermal energy is 175.5 Joule.

(b)

initial speed, u = 0.518 m/s

Let the speed at the bottom is v.

let the acceleration is a.

a = g Sinθ - μk g Cosθ

a = 9.8 (Sin 34 - 0.130 x Cos 34)

a = 9.8 (0.559 - 0.108)

a = 4.42 m/s

Use III equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

v² = 0.518 x 0.518 + 2 x 4.42 x 5.9

v² = 0.2683 + 52.156

v = 7.24 m/s

Answer:

Explanation:

Frictional force acting on the child = μ mg cosθ

, μ is coefficient of kinetic friction ,  m is mass of child θ is inclination

work done by frictional force

μ mg cosθ x d , d is displacement on inclined plane

work done = .13 x 276 x cos34 x 5.9

= 175.5 J

This work will be converted into heat energy.

b ) Initial energy of child = mgh + 1/2 m v ² , h is height , v is initial velocity

= 276 x 5.9 sin34  + 1/2 x 276 / 9.8 x .518² [ mass m = 276 / g ]

= 910.59 + 3.77

= 914.36 J

loss of energy due to friction = 175.5

Net energy at the bottom

= 738.86 J

If v be the velocity at the bottom

1/2 m v² = 738 .86

.5 x (276 / 9.8) x v² = 738.86

v² = 52.47

v = 7.24 m /s .

Which of the following statements are true?Check all that apply.
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

1.The Sun is located at one of the foci of the planets' elliptical orbits.

2.The path of the planets around the Sun is elliptical in shape.

Explanation:

As per Kepler's law of planet motion we know that all planets revolve around the sun in elliptical path in such a way that position of Sun must be at one of the focii of the path

So all planets are in elliptical path always

Position of sun is always at one of the focus

so correct answer will be

1.The Sun is located at one of the foci of the planets' elliptical orbits.

2.The path of the planets around the Sun is elliptical in shape.

A 30-cm-diameter, 1.2 kg solid turntable rotates on a 1.2-cm-diameter, 450 g shaft at a constant 33 rpm. When you hit the stop s
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

frictional force = 0.52 N

Explanation:

diameter of turn table (D1) = 30 cm = 0.3 m

mass of turn table (M1) = 1.2 kg

diameter of shaft (D2) = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m

mass of shaft (M2) = 450 g = 0.45 kg

time (t) = 15 seconds

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

radius of turn table (R1) = 0.3 / 2 = 0.15 m

radius of shaft (R2) = 0.012 / 2 = 0.006 m

total moment of inertia (I) = moment of inertia of turn table + moment of inertia of shaft

I = 0.5(M1)(R1)^{2} + O.5 (M2)(R2)^{2}

I =  0.5(1.2)(0.15)^{2} + O.5 (0.45)(0.006)^{2}

I = 0.0135 + 0.0000081 = 0.0135081

ω₁ = 33 rpm = 33 x \frac{2π}{60} = 3.5 rad/s

α = -ω₁/t = -3.5 / 15 = -0.23 rad/s^{2}

torque = I x α

torque = 0.0135081 x (-0.23) = - 0.00311 N.m

torque = frictional force x R2

- 0.00311 = frictional force x 0.006

frictional force = 0.52 N

Does an increase in velocity necessarily mean an increase in acceleration?
Vinil7 [7]
We know, acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time
Here, if velocity is increasing, then, 
Final velocity > initial velocity, in that case, acceleration is also increasing, as it is directly proportional to velocity

In short, Your Answer would be "Yes"

Hope this helps!
