If an object starts out at rest and accelerates to 100 m/s, what is its initial speed?

1 answer:

6 0

No. Sadly, you're not right. The whole problem here is the meaning of a few words. "Starts out"is the same thing as "initial" conditions. "At rest" is the same thing as not moving ... zero speed. So if an object starts out at rest, that says that its initial speed is zero ... choice 'b'.

Answer:

1 : 2 cm/km or $\frac{1}{2} \, \frac{cm}{km}$

One cm represents 2 km.

Explanation:

If 3 cm represents 6 km on the earth, the ratio to consider is: 3 : 6 cm/km which is the same as:

1 : 2 cm/km or $\frac{1}{2} \, \frac{cm}{km}$

One cm represents 2 km.

Suppose a 49-N sled is resting on packed snow. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.11. If a person weighing 585 N sits on t

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

69.74 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Weight of sled=49 N

Coefficient of kinetic friction $,\mu_k=0.11$

Weight of person=585 N

Total weight==mg=49+585=634 N

We know that

Force needed to pull the sled across the snow at constant speed,F=Kinetic friction

$F=\mu_k N$

Where N= Normal=mg

$F=0.11\times 634=69.74 N$

Hence, the force is needed to pull the sled across the snow at constant speed=69.74 N
