A sled slides along a horizontal surface on which the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.25. Its velocity at point A is 8.4 m/

s and at point B is 5.8 m/s . Use the impulse-momentum theorem to find how long the sled takes to travel from A to B.

Answer:

1.06 secs

Explanation:

Initial speed of sled, u = 8.4 m/s

Final speed of sled, v = 5.8 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.25

Using the impulse momentum theory, we know that the impulse applied to the sled is equal to change in momentum of the sled:

FΔt = mv - mu

where m = mass of the object

Δt = time interval

F = force applied

The force applied on the sled is the frictional force, which is given as:

F = -μmg

where g = acceleration due to gravity

Therefore:

-μmgΔt =  mv - mu

-μmgΔt = m(v - u)

-μgΔt = v - u

Making Δt subject of formula:

Δt = (v - u) / -μg

Δt = (5.8 - 8.4) / (-0.25 * 9.8)

Δt = -2.6/ -2.45

Δt = 1.06 secs

It took the sled 1.06 secs to travel from A to B.

Part A What is the resistance of a 4.4 m length of copper wire 1.3 mm n diameter? The resistivity of copper is 1.68x 10-8 Ω-m Ex
Natalija [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the copper wire, l = 4.4 m

Diameter of copper wire, d = 1.3 mm = 0.0013 m

Radius of copper wire, r = 0.00065 m

The resistivity of the copper wire, \rho=1.68\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

We need to find the resistance of the copper wire. It is given by :

R=\rho\dfrac{l}{A}

R=1.68\times 10^{-8}\ \times \dfrac{4.4\ m}{\pi (0.00065)^2}

R =0.055 ohms

So, the resistance of the copper wire is 0.055 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.

At exactly 3:14PM, the velocity of a dog running in a park points toward a group of flowers. Which of the following best describ
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Options A, B, and C are all possible.

Explanation:

We know that the instantaneous velocity of the dog at 3:14PM is possitive to toward the flowers. But what about the acceleration to toward the flowers?

If the dog is decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is negative toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points away from the flowers.

If the dog is increasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is positive toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points toward the flowers.

If the dog is not increasing nor decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is 0, hence (since F=ma) the net force is null and it does not point neighter to toward the flowers  nor away from the flowers. This happens when the forces acting on the dog are equal to both sides.
