Answer:

The skater covers a distance of <u>15 m</u> before stopping.

Explanation:

Let the distance traveled before stopping be 'd' m.

Given:

Mass of the skater (m) = 90 kg

Initial velocity of the skater (u) = 12.0 m/s

Final velocity of the skater (v) = 0 m/s (Stops finally)

Coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) = 0.490

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Now, we know that, from work-energy theorem, the work done by the net force on a body is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.

Here, the net force acting on the skater is only frictional force which acts in the direction opposite to motion.

Frictional force is given as:

f=\mu N

Where, 'N' is the normal force acting on the skater. As there is no vertical motion, N=mg

∴ f=\mu mg=0.490\times 90\times 9.8=432.18\ N

Now, work done by friction is a negative work as friction and displacement are in opposite direction and is given as:

W=-fd=-432.18d

Now, change in kinetic energy is given as:

\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}\times 90(0-12^2)\\\\\Delta K=45\times (-144)=-6480\ J

Therefore, from work-energy theorem,

W=\Delta K\\\\-432.18d=6480\\\\d=\frac{6480}{432.18}\\\\d=14.99\approx 15\ m

Hence, the skater covers a distance of 15 m before stopping.

Wow !  I understand your shock.  I shook and vibrated a little
when I looked at this one too.

The reason for our shock is all the extra junk in the question,
put there just to shock and distract us.

"Neutron star", "5.5 solar masses", "condensed burned-out star".
That's all very picturesque, and it excites cosmic fantasies in
out brains when we read it, but it's just malicious decoration.
It only gets in the way, and doesn't help a bit.

The real question is:

What is the acceleration of gravity 2000 m from
the center of a mass of 1.1 x 10³¹ kg ?

Acceleration of gravity is

                           G  ·  M / R²

      =  (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²) · (1.1 x 10³¹ kg) / (2000 m)²

      =  (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹  ·  1.1 x 10³¹ / 4 x 10⁶)      (N) · m² · kg / kg² · m²

      =             1.83 x 10¹⁴           (kg · m / s²) · m² · kg / kg² · m²

      =             1.83 x 10¹⁴            m / s²      

That's about  1.87 x 10¹³  times the acceleration of gravity on
Earth's surface.

In other words, if I  were standing on the surface of that neutron star,
I would weigh  1.82 x 10¹² tons, give or take.

In a race, you run 3000 meters east in 21 minutes. What is your velocity in km/min?
STALIN [3.7K]

velocity = distance / time      v= d/t          firstly you change 3000 m into km     distance  D = 3000/1000  = 3 km             secondly   time t = 21 min      using velocity formula v = d/t       = 3 km/21min       =0.142km/min

A rubber-wheeled 50 kg cart rolls down a 35 degree concrete incline. Coefficient of rolling friction between rubber and concrete
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

(a) 5.62 m/s²

(b) 5.46 m/s²

Explanation:

The given values are:

mass,

m = 50 kg

angle

= 35°

(a)

If friction neglected,

⇒ F_x=mgSin \theta=ma

⇒ a_x=gSin \theta

       =9.8 \ Sin35^{\circ}

       =5.62 \ m/s^2

(b)

If friction present,

⇒ F_x=mgCos \theta

⇒ F_x=mgSin \theta-\mu_r mgCos \theta

⇒ a=gSin \theta-\mu_rgCos \theta

      =9.8 \ Sin35^{\circ}-0.02\times 9.8 \ Cos30^{\circ}

      =5.46 \ m/s^2
