A 60kg skateboarder starts up a 20° slope at 5m/s then falls and slides up the hill on his knee pads. The coefficient of kinetic

2.0 meters  The skateboarder has 2 forces acting upon him to slow him down. The forces are friction, and climbing against the gravitational acceleration. So let's calculate the magnitude of these forces to see how fast he's decelerated.  The coefficient of kinetic friction is a multiplier to use against the normal force of the object. We can calculate the normal force by multiplying the mass of the object by the local gravitational acceleration and the cosine of the angle. So Df = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos(20°) * 0.30 Df = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.939692621 * 0.30 Df = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.939692621 * 0.30 Df = 165.7617783 kg*m/s^2 Df = 165.7617783 N  
The second amount of force is that caused by gravitational acceleration while climbing. That is determine by the amount of height gained for every meter along the slope. We can calculate that using the sine of the angle. So 
Dg = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * sin(20°)
 Dg = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.342020143
 Dg = 201.1078443 kg*m/s^2
 Dg = 201.1078443 N
 
 So the amount of force decelerating the skateboarder is:
 F = Df + Dg
 F = 165.7617783 N + 201.1078443 N
 F = 366.8696226 N
 
 Now let's determine how much kinetic energy needs to be dissipated. The equation is
 E = 0.5 MV^2 
 So we'll substitute the known values and calculate
 E = 0.5 MV^2
 E = 0.5* 60 kg * (5 m/s)^2
 E = 0.5* 60 kg * 25 m^2/s^2
 E = 750 kg*m^2/s^2
 E = 750 J 
 Now let's divide the energy by the force.
 750 kg*m^2/s^2 / 366.8696226 kg*m/s^2 = 2.04432298 m
  Rounding to 2 significant figures gives a distance of 2.0 meters.

8. The legs of a young man are each 0.650 meters long. What is his maximum walking speed?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

2.52 m/s

Explanation:

When the man takes a step, his foot is stationary while his body revolves around it.  At the point when his body is directly above his foot, there will be no normal force at his maximum speed.

Sum of the forces in the radial direction:

∑F = ma

mg = m v² / r

g = v² / r

v = √(gr)

Given that r = 0.650 m:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 0.650 m)

v = 2.52 m/s

What do you understand by  leverage?

The employment of various financial instruments or borrowed cash, or leverage, is an investing strategy that aims to improve an investment's potential return. The level of debt a company utilizes to finance its assets is another definition of leverage.

It offers a range of funding options so that the company can reach its desired earnings. Leverage is a crucial investing strategy because it enables businesses to establish a ceiling for the growth of their operations.

Leverage can be used, for instance, to support financially a new business. Purchasing fixed assets or borrowing money in the form of a loan from another business or person can serve as examples of leverage.

Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at the location of given that the square is 6.05 cm on a side.
Serggg [28]

The term “electric field” refers to the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and acts to either attract or repel all other charged particles in the field (also known as an E-field).

It can also refer to the physical field surrounding a system of charged particles. Electric fields are composed of electric charges and time-varying electric currents.

Both electric and magnetic fields are manifestations of the electromagnetic field, one of the four fundamental interactions (sometimes known as forces) of nature.

Electrical technology makes use of electric fields, which are significant in many branches of physics.

For instance, in atomic physics and chemistry, the electric field acts as an attractive force to hold atoms’ atomic nuclei and electrons together. It is also the force that causes atoms to chemically link together to form molecules.
