Answer: 4.8 s
Explanation:
We have the following data:
the mass of the raft
the force applied by Sawyer
the raft's final speed
the raft's initial speed (assuming it starts from rest)
We have to find the time
Well, according to Newton's second law of motion we have:
(1)
Where is the acceleration, which can be expressed as:
(2)
Substituting (2) in (1):
(3)
Where
Isolating from (3):
(4)
Finally:
Applying Charles law
Answer:
the answer is A.
Explanation:
Using the laws of newton:
∑F = ma
where ∑F is the sumatory of forces acting in the system, m the mass and a the acelertion of the system.
Then, if the block is moving with constant velocity, its aceleration is equal to 0, so:
∑F = m(0)
∑F = 0
It means that:
F - = 0
where F is the force applied and is the friction force. Replacing the value of F, we get:
310N - = 0
Finally, solving for :
