Answer:

The acceleration of the sliding toboggan is, a = 4.9 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data,

The total weight of the toboggan, W = 1300 N

The slope is, Ф = 30°

The acceleration of a body under the influence of the gravitational field does not depend on its mass, size and shape in the absence of the air resistance.

Therefore,

The acceleration of the toboggan is given by the formula,

                           a = g Sin Ф

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                           a = 9.8 x Sin 30°

                              = 4.9 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the sliding toboggan is, a = 4.9 m/s²

Determine the stopping distances for a car with an initial speed of 88 km/h and human reaction time of 2.0 s for the following a
seropon [69]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 88 km/h = 24.44 m/s

Reaction time, t = 2 s

Distance covered during this time, d=24.44\times 2=48.88\ m

(a) Acceleration, a=-4\ m/s^2

We need to find the stopping distance, v = 0. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -4}

s = 74.66 meters

s = 74.66 + 48.88 = 123.54 meters

(b) Acceleration, a=-8\ m/s^2

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -8}

s = 37.33 meters

s = 37.33 + 48.88 = 86.21 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

The difference between a Scalar quantity and a Vector quantity?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

A quantity that has magnitude but no particular direction is described as scalar. A quantity that has magnitude and acts in a particular direction is described as vector.

A student writes, "A bird that is diving for prey has a speed of − 10 m /s ." What is wrong with the student's statement? What h
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Speed is a scalar quantity it has only magnitude. So in the given scenario the student actually described about the velocity.

Explanation:

In this situation, student is describing that the speed is -10 m/s. The speed with the negative sign is wrong because speed is a scalar quantity and scalar quantities have only magnitude, they do not have direction. So, his statement is wrong because he is describing the speed with the negative sign.

And also we know that velocity is a vector quantity, so it has magnitude as well as direction also. So in this situation, the student is actually want to describe the velocity because he is mentioning the magnitude in a particular direction.
