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}

Are light waves longitudinal or transverse
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

There are two types of waves, according to the direction of their oscillation:

- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves

- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

Light waves corresponds to the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes all the different types of electromagnetic waves (which consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave): therefore, they are transverse waves.

Which equation describes the sum of the vectors plotted below?
bearhunter [10]

Equation C describes the sum of the vectors plotted below.

<h3>What is a vector?</h3>

A vector is a quantity or phenomena with magnitude and direction that are independent of one another. The phrase also refers to a quantity's mathematical or geometrical representation.

If no vector can be written as a linear combination of the others, a set of vectors is said to be linearly independent.

The given points from the graph is obtained as;

a = (2,1)

b = (3,-2)

Vector, OA = 2x + y

Vector, AB = x - 3 y

From the triangular lawe of the vector addition;

\rm r=  \vec{OA} +\vec{OB}\\\\\ r= 2x+y+x-3y \\\\ r= 3x-2y

Hence,option C is correct.
