Answer:
The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.
Explanation:
The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: 
, where 
is the final velocity, 
is the initial velocity, 
the acceleration, and 
is the time during such acceleration is applied.
Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: 
, where 
because the sled is totally stopped, 
is the velocity of the sled before braking and, 
is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.
In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration:
, where 
is the distance traveled, is the initial velocity, the time of the process and, is the acceleration of the process.
Then for this case the relationship becomes: 
.
<u>Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.</u>
What is an example of how you can use scientific inquiry to solve a real life problem.
"(1) a satellite moving around Earth in a circular <span>orbit" is the only option from the list that describes an object in equilibrium, since velocity and gravity are working together to keep the orbit constant. </span>

Answer:
Explanation:
When unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, the intensity of the light is reduced by a factor 1/2, so
(1)
where I_0 is the intensity of the initial unpolarized light, while I_1 is the intensity of the polarized light coming out from the first filter. Light that comes out from the first polarizer is also polarized, in the same direction as the axis of the first polarizer.
When the (now polarized) light hits the second polarizer, whose axis of polarization is rotated by an angle 
with respect to the first one, the intensity of the light coming out is
(2)
If we combine (1) and (2) together,
(3)
We want the final intensity to be 1/10 the initial intensity, so
So we can rewrite (3) as
From which we find
