A boy shoves his stuffed toy zebra, which has mass m, down a frictionless chute, starting at a height D above the bottom of the

chute and with an initial speed of v. The toy animal emerges horizontally from the bottom of the chute and continues sliding along a horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction μ. At what distance d from the bottom of the chute does the toy zebra come to rest? Express your answer in terms of the given variables and g, the acceleration due to gravity.

Answer:

d=\frac{0.5v^2+gD}{\mu\times g}

Explanation:

mass of the boy = m kg

staring height of the boy = D meters

initial velocity = v

coefficient of kinetic friction = μ

total energy of the toy is

E_total = K.E. +P.E.

= 0.5mv^2 +mgD

= m( 0.5v^2+ gD)

The work done by friction force

W= μ×F_normal ×distance

W= μ×m×g×d

hence, the distance d covered by the zebra toy

and since, the total energy is conserved

W= E_total

μ×m×g×d= m( 0.5v^2+ gD)

d=\frac{0.5v^2+gD}{\mu\times g}

hence, the distance d from the bottom of the chute does the toy algebra comes to rest.

d=\frac{0.5v^2+gD}{\mu\times g}

A point charge Q moves on the x-axis in the positive direction with a speed of A point P is on the y-axis at The magnetic field
oee [108]

Answer: q = -52.5 μC

Explanation:

The complete question is given thus;

A point charge Q moves on the x-axis in the positive direction with a speed of 280 m/s. A point P is on the y-axis at y=+70mm. The magnetic field produced at the point P, as the charge moves through the origin, is equal to -0.30uTk. What is the charge Q? (uo=4pi x 10^-7 T m/A).

SOLVING:

from the given parameters we can solve this problem.

Given that the

Speed = 280 m/s

y = 70mm

B =  -30 * 10⁻⁶T

Using the equation for magnetic field we have;

Β = μqv*r / 4πr²

making q (charge) the subject of formula we have that;

q  = B * 4 *πr² / μqv*r

substituting the values gives us

q = (-0.3*10⁻⁶Tk * 4π * 0.07²) / (4π*10⁻⁷ * 280 ) = - [14.7 * 10⁻¹⁰k / 2.8 * 10⁻⁵ k ]

q = -52.5 μC

A pen cap floats in a plastic lemonade 3/4 full of water vif you squeeze the bottle the pen cap sinks to the bottom if you then
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The pressure of the air molecules inside the pen cap increases and the volume occupied by the air decreases such that the combined volume occupied by the pen cap and the air volume reduces while the combined mass of the pen cap and the air molecules remain the same

Given that density = The mass/Volume, we have that the density varies inversely as the volume, and as the volume reduces, the density increases

Upon squeezing, therefore, as the new combined density of the pen cap and the air molecules rises to more than the density of the water in the bottle, then, the pen cap air molecule is relatively more denser than the water, which will result in the pen cap sinking to the bottom of the bottle

Find the angle between two equal forces (p) when their resultant is equal to (p)<br>​
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

60°

Explanation:

It will be equilateral triangle, you can prove with the cosine theorem.

1)P^2=P^2+P^2 - 2×P×P× cos A

2) cos A= P^2 / 2× P^2 = 1/2

cos A = 1/2

A = 60°

If you wrote this question right,it will be solved like this :)
