2.0 meters The skateboarder has 2 forces acting upon him to slow him down. The forces are friction, and climbing against the gravitational acceleration. So let's calculate the magnitude of these forces to see how fast he's decelerated. The coefficient of kinetic friction is a multiplier to use against the normal force of the object. We can calculate the normal force by multiplying the mass of the object by the local gravitational acceleration and the cosine of the angle. So Df = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos(20°) * 0.30 Df = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.939692621 * 0.30 Df = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.939692621 * 0.30 Df = 165.7617783 kg*m/s^2 Df = 165.7617783 N
The second amount of force is that caused by gravitational acceleration while climbing. That is determine by the amount of height gained for every meter along the slope. We can calculate that using the sine of the angle. So
Dg = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * sin(20°)
Dg = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.342020143
Dg = 201.1078443 kg*m/s^2
Dg = 201.1078443 N
So the amount of force decelerating the skateboarder is:
F = Df + Dg
F = 165.7617783 N + 201.1078443 N
F = 366.8696226 N
Now let's determine how much kinetic energy needs to be dissipated. The equation is
E = 0.5 MV^2
So we'll substitute the known values and calculate
E = 0.5 MV^2
E = 0.5* 60 kg * (5 m/s)^2
E = 0.5* 60 kg * 25 m^2/s^2
E = 750 kg*m^2/s^2
E = 750 J
Now let's divide the energy by the force.
750 kg*m^2/s^2 / 366.8696226 kg*m/s^2 = 2.04432298 m
Rounding to 2 significant figures gives a distance of 2.0 meters.
Answer:
b. melting
Explanation:
it is made of sediments and that is not necessary
<h2>
Answer: 540 J</h2>
Explanation:
The Work done by a Force refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.
Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:
(1)
In this case both (the force and the distance in the path) are parallel (this means they are in the same direction), so the work performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box by the distance traveled .
Hence:
(2)
Answer:
40 N
Explanation:
Both forces to the right are friction forces. The 40 N force has to be the kinetic friction force because kinetic friction is always less than static friction. So, the 80 N force has to be the static friction force, which is always greater than the kinetic friction.
