What is gravity’s role in friction

1 answer:

6 0

While sliding down a hill in a sled, the force of gravity causes the sled to accelerate down the hill. The force of friction eventually causes the sled to stop. the friction force partly cancels some of the gravity force pulling the sled down. These two forces affect many motions on Earth.

Sean climbs a tower that is 71.3 m high to make a jump with a parachute. The mass of Sean plus the parachute is 81.4 kg. If U =

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

U = 56877.4 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body is that which it possesses because it is located at a certain height above the surface of the earth and can be calculated using the following formula:

U = mgh Formula (1)

Where:

U is the potential energy in Joules (J)

m is the mass of the body in kilograms (kg)

g is the acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

h is the height at which the body is found from the surface of the earth in meters (m)

Data

m= 81.4 kg

g= 9.8 m/s²

h = 71.3 m

Potential energy of Sean and the parachute at the top of the tower

We replace data in the formula (1)

U = m*g*h

U = (81.4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(71.3 m)

U = 56877.4 N*m

U = 56877.4 J

A 126- kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.70 m/s by pushing off with her legs from a 1800-kg space capsul

jeka94

The change in the speed of the space capsule will be -0.189 m/s.

The average force exerted by each on the other will be 567 N.

The kinetic energy of each after the push for the astronaut and the capsule are 459.27 J and 32.14 J.

<h3>Given:</h3>

Mass of the astronaut, $m_a$ = 126 kg

Speed he acquires, $v_{a}$ = 2.70 m/s

Mass of the space capsule, $m_{c}$ = 1800kg

The initial momentum of the astronaut-capsule system is zero due to rest.

$P_f = m_av_a + m_cv_c$

$P_I$ = 0

$m_av_a + m_cv_c = 0$

$v_c =\frac{- m_a v_a}{m_c}}\\\\$

$= \frac{126* 2.70}{1800}$

$= - 0.189$ m/s

Therefore,

According, to the impulse-momentum theorem;

FΔt = ΔP

ΔP = m Δv

ΔP = 126×2.70

= 340.2 kgm/sec

t is time interval = 0.600s

F = ΔP/Δt

F = 340.2/0.600

= 567 N

Therefore, the average force exerted by each on the other will be 567 N.

The Kinetic Energy of the astronaut;

K.E = $\frac{1}{2} m v^2$

$= \frac{1}{2}$ × 126 × $(2.70) ^2$

= 459.27 J

The Kinetic Energy of the capsule;

K.E = $\frac{1}{2} m v^2$

= $\frac{1}{2}$ ×1800× $(0.189) ^2$

= 32.14 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of each after the push for the astronaut and the capsule are 459.27 J and 32.14 J.

Calculate the work done by a 50.0 N force on an object as it moves 9.00 m, if the force is oriented at an angle of 135° from the

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Work done, W = -318.19 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the object, F = 50 N

Distance covered by the force, d = 9 m

Angle between the force and the distance traveled, $\theta=135^{\circ}$

The work done by an object is equal to the product of force and distance traveled. It is equal to the dot product of force and the distance. Mathematically, it is given by :

$W=Fd\ cos\theta$

$W=50\times 9\times \ cos(135)$

W = -318.19 Joules

So, the work done by the force is 318.19 Joules. The work is done in opposite to the direction of motion. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is projectile motion

Radda [10]

$\boxed{\large{\bold{\textbf{\textsf{{\color{blue}{Answer}}}}}}:)}$

$\sf{\qquad{\qquad{\underline{\underline{ Projectile~motion }}}}}$

If an object is given an initial velocity in any direction and then allowed to travel freely under gravity only, it is called a projectile motion.

It is basically 3 types

horizontally projectile motion
oblique projectile motion
included plane projectile motion

The path followed by a projectile is called its trajectory.
