Which of the following best describes the function of a plant's flowers?

noname [10]

Answer: The function of a plant's flower is reproduce. Since the flowers are the reproductive organs of plant, they mediate the joining of the sperm, contained within pollen, to the ovules contained in the ovary.

The height of a typical playground slide is about 1.8 m and it rises at an angle of 30 ∘ above the horizontal.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

$5.94\ \text{m/s}$

$1.7$

$0.577$

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

$\theta$ = Angle of slope = $30^{\circ}$

v = Velocity of child at the bottom of the slide

$\mu_k$ = Coefficient of kinetic friction

$\mu_s$ = Coefficient of static friction

h = Height of slope = 1.8 m

The energy balance of the system is given by

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.8}\\\Rightarrow v=5.94\ \text{m/s}$

The speed of the child at the bottom of the slide is $5.94\ \text{m/s}$

Length of the slide is given by

$l=h\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow l=1.8\sin30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow l=0.9\ \text{m}$

$v=\dfrac{1}{2}\times5.94\\\Rightarrow v=2.97\ \text{m/s}$

The force energy balance of the system is given by

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\mu_kmg\cos\theta l\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{gh-\dfrac{1}{2}v^2}{gl\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{9.81\times 1.8-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.97^2}{9.81\times 0.9\cos30^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=1.73$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $1.7$ .

For static friction

$\mu_s\geq\tan30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s\geq0.577$

So, the minimum possible value for the coefficient of static friction is $0.577$ .
