A 1-lb block and a 100-lb block are placed side by side at the top of a frictionless hill. Each is given a very light tap to beg

in their race to the bottom of the hill. In the absence of air resistance, what can you conclude about the outcome of the race?a) The 1-lb block wins the race.
b) The 100-lb block wins the race.
c) The two blocks end in a tie.
d) There’s not enough information to determine which block wins the race

Answer:

(c). The two blocks end in a tie

Explanation:

the reason being the absence of any resistance offered to both of the blocks.

if the slope of the hill is for instance 60 deg.

then the acceleration in absence of any resistance is a= 9.81sin(60)

since the acceleration is same then both of the blocks will reach at the same instant

A girl pushes a 1.04 kg book across a table with a horizontal applied force 10 points
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Approximately 11.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. (Assuming that g = 9.81 \; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}, and that the tabletop is level.)

Explanation:

Weight of the book:

W = m \cdot g = 1.04 \; \rm kg \times 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} \approx 10.202\; \rm N.

If the tabletop is level, the normal force on the book will be equal (in magnitude) to weight of the book. Hence, F(\text{normal force}) \approx 10.202\; \rm N.

As a side note, the F_N and W on this book are not equal- these two forces are equal in size but point in the opposite directions.

When the book is moving, the friction F(\text{kinetic friction}) on it will be equal to

  • \mu_{\rm k}, the coefficient of kinetic friction, times
  • F(\text{normal force}), the normal force that's acting on it.

That is:

\begin{aligned}& F(\text{kinetic friction}) \\ &= \mu_{\rm k}\cdot F(\text{normal force})\\ &\approx 0.35 \times 10.202\; \rm N \approx 3.5708\; \rm N\end{aligned}.

Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion. The friction here should act in the opposite direction of that 15.0\; \rm N applied force. The net force on the book shall be:

\begin{aligned}& F(\text{net force})  \\ &= 15.0 \; \rm N - F(\text{kinetic friction}) \\& \approx 15.0 - 3.5708\; \rm N \approx 11.429\; \rm N\end{aligned}.

Apply Newton's Second Law to find the acceleration of this book:

\displaystyle a = \frac{F(\text{net force})}{m} \approx \frac{11.429\; \rm N}{1.04\; \rm kg} \approx 11.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

Contrary to popular belief, a ski jumper does not achieve a large amount of "air" when doing a jump (less than 6 feet). This is
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The vertical distance that the ski jumper fell is 417.45 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial horizontal velocity of the jumper, V_x = 26 m/s

horizontal distance of the jumper, dx = 240 m

The time of the motion is given by;

dx = Vₓt

t = dx / Vₓ

t = 240 / 26

t = 9.23 s

The vertical distance traveled by the diver is given by;

d_y = V_yt + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

initial vertical velocity, V_y, = 0

d_y =  \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\d_y = \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(9.23)^2\\\\d_y = 417.45 \ m

Therefore, the vertical distance that the ski jumper fell is 417.45 m.

The distance between the earth and sun is 1.5 x 108 kilometers and the speed of light is 3.00 x 108 meters per second. Calculate
butalik [34]

Answer:

time = 8.3333 minutes.

Explanation:

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * 10^{8}km

speed of light = 3* 10^{8}m/s

convert the distance unit from km to m so we can have uniform units.

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 *10^{8}*1000m

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * 10^{11}m

speed = distance /time

time = distance / speed

time = \frac{1.5*10^{11} }{3*10^{8} }

= 0.5*10^{3}

time =500 sec

time = 500/60 minutes

time = 8.3333 minutes.
