A girl coasts down a hill on a sled, reaching level ground at the bottom with a speed of 7.1 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic fri

ction between the sled runners and the hard, icy snow is 0.045, and the girl and sled together weigh 783 N. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . How far does the sled travel on the level ground before coming to a rest?

Answer:

114.19186 m

Explanation:

v = Velocity of girl at bottom = 7.1 m/s

$\mu$ = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.045

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

d = Distance

N = Normal force = 783 N

The weight of the sled and girl is considered as the sum of the frictional force and weight

Hence we use the following equation where the kinetic energy and potential energy are conserved

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\mu Nd\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\frac{783}{9.81}\times 7.1^2=0.045\times 783\times d\\\Rightarrow d=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{783\times 7.1^2}{9.81\times 0.045\times 783}\\\Rightarrow d=114.19186\ m$

The sled travels 114.19186 m on the level ground before coming to a rest

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. \ -11 \ m/s^2}}$

Explanation:

Acceleration can be found by dividing the change in velocity by the time.

$a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}$

where Vf is the final velocity, Vi is the initial velocity, and t is the time.

Since the car came to a complete stop, it's final velocity was 0 meters per second.

The initial velocity was 22 meters per second.

The time was 2.0 seconds.

$v_f=0 \ m/s\\v_i=22 \ m/s\\t= 2.0 \ s$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$a=\frac{0 \ m/s-22 \ m/s}{ 2.0 \s }$

Subtract in the numerator first.

0 m/s- 22 m/s = -22 m/s

$a=\frac{-22 \ m/s}{2.0 \ s}$

Divide.

$a= -11 \ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the car was -11 meters per square second. The negative acceleration indicates slowing down/stopping.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

ΔF=125.22 %

Explanation:

We know that drag force on the car given as

$F_D=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho C_DA v^2$

$C_D$ =Drag coefficient

A=Projected area

v=Velocity

ρ=Density

All other quantity are constant so we can say that drag force and velocity can be given as

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}$

Now by putting the values

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}$

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{50^2}{75^2}$

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=0.444$

Percentage Change in the drag force

$\Delta F=\dfrac{F_D_2-F_D_1}{F_D_1}\times 100$

$\Delta F=\dfrac{F_D_2-0.444F_D_2}{0.444F_D_2}\times 100$

$\Delta F=\dfrac{1-0.444}{0.444}\times 100$

ΔF=125.22 %

Therefore force will increase by 125.22 %.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

$4.8\cdot 10^{-19} C$

Explanation:

For a drop in equilibrium, the weight is equal to the electric force (in magnitude):

$W = F_e$

where here we have

$W=1.00\cdot 10^{-14}N$ is the weight of the drop

$F_e$ is the magnitude of the electric force, which can be rewritten as

$F_e = qE$

where

q is the charge of the oil drop

$E=2.08 \cdot 10^4 N/C$ is the magnitude of the electric field

Substituting into the equation and solving for q, we find the charge of the oil drop:

$q=\frac{W}{F_e}=\frac{1.00\cdot 10^{-14}N}{2.08\cdot 10^4 N/C}=4.8\cdot 10^{-19} C$
