A student of mass 65.4 kg, starting at rest, slides down a slide 21.2 m long, tilted at an angle of 20.1° with respect to the ho

rizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the student and the slide is 0.123, find the force of kinetic friction, the acceleration, and the speed she is traveling when she reaches the bottom of the slide.

Answer:

a. Ff = 74.03N

b. a = 2.23 m/s^2

c. v = 9.73 m/s

Explanation:

a. For an incline system, the force of kinetic friction is given by tte following formula:

F_f= \mu_k Ncos\theta=\mu_kMgcos\theta         (1)

Ff: friction force

μk: kinetic friction = 0.123

N: normal force

θ: angle of the incline = 20.1°

M: mass of the student = 65.4 kg

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

F_f=(0.123)(65.4kg)(9.8m/s^2)cos(20.1\°)=74.03N

The kinetic friction force is 74.03N

b. The acceleration of the student is given by the Newton second law:

W-F_f=Mgsin\theta-F_f=Ma         (2)

You solve the previous equation for a:

a=\frac{Mgsin\theta-F_f}{M}\\\\a=\frac{(65.4kg)(9.8m/s^2)sin(20.1\°)-74.03N}{65.4kg}=2.23\frac{m}{s^2}

The acceleration of the student, in his trajectory is 2.23m/s^2

c. The speed of the student, at the bottom of the trajectory, can be calculated by taking into account that the net work is equal to the change in the kinetic energy:

W_n=\Delta K\\\\(W-F_f)d=\frac{1}{2}M(v^2-v_o^2)       (3)

v: final speed = ?

vo: initial speed  = 0 m/s

d: distance traveled by the student  = 21.2m

Then, you replace the values of the parameters in the equation (3) and solve for v:

((65.4kg)(9.8m/s^2)sin(20.1\°)-74.03N)(21.2m)=\frac{1}{2}(65.4kg)v^2\\\\v=9.73\frac{m}{s}

THe speed of the student at the bottom of the slide is 9.73 m/s

A stunt driver rounds a banked, circular curve. The driver rounds the curve at a high, constant speed, such that the car is just
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: C

Frictional force

Explanation:

The description of the question above is an example of a circular motion.

For a car travelling in a curved path, the frictional force between the tyres and the road surface will provide the centripetal force.

Since the road is banked, and the cross section of the banked road is constructed like a ramp. The car drives transversely to the slope of the ramp, so that the wheels of one side of the car are lower than the wheels on the other side of the car, for cornering the banked road, the car will not rely only on the frictional force.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C - the frictional force.

A cube that has a volume of 1.00 m³ contains N distinguishable particles.
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

1 P = 0.5

2 P = 0.3

3 P = 0.01

Explanation:

The probability formula is

          P =V^N

Where P is the probability  V is the volume while N is the number of distinguishing particles

So for N = 1 and V = 0.500m^3

           P = (0.500m^3)^1\\

               = 0.5

For  N = 1 and V =  0.300m^3

           P = (0.300m^3)^1

               = 0.3

For   N = 1 and V = 0.0100m^3

     P =(0.0100m^3)^1

         = 0.01

What is the frequency of this wave?
Anastasy [175]
In telecommunication systems, Carrier frequency is a technical term used to indicate: ... The frequency of the unmodulated electromagnetic wave at the output of a conventional amplitude-modulated (AM-unsupressed carrier), or frequency-modulated (FM), or phase-modulated (PM) radio transmitter.
