Consider a small child sliding down two differently shaped slides that have the same coefficient of kinetic friction. How must t
timama [110]

Answer:

Having a bigger angle above the horizontal

Explanation:

Applying the energy conservation theorem:

K_1+U_1+W_{ext}=K_2+U_2

The kinetic energy is reduced because of the work done by the friction force.

The friction force is given by:

F_f=F_N*\µ

so the friction force depends on the Normal force, because the slide has an angle the normal force is given by:

F_N=m.g*cos(\theta)

So when the angle of the slide is bigger, the friction force decreases, for example:

for 45 degrees:

F_N=m.g*cos(45)\\F_N=0.70(m.g)\\

for 75 degrees:

F_N=m.g*cos(75)\\F_N=0.26(m.g)\\

as you can see if the angle is bigger above the horizontal, the friction force is reduced and so the work done by that force. We didn't have to change the height of the slide, so the potential gravitational energy remains the same.

A satellite with mass 6000 kg is orbiting the planet at 2500 km above the planet's
9966 [12]

By the law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force <em>F</em> between the satellite (mass <em>m</em>) and planet (mass <em>M</em>) is

<em>F</em> = <em>G</em> <em>M</em> <em>m</em> / <em>R </em>²

where

<em>• G</em> = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg•s²) is the universal gravitation constant

• <em>R</em> = 2500 km + 5000 km = 7500 km is the distance between the satellite and the center of the planet

Solve for <em>M</em> :

<em>M</em> = <em>F R</em> ² / (<em>G</em> <em>m</em>)

<em>M</em> = ((3 × 10⁴ N) (75 × 10⁵ m)²) / (<em>G</em> (6 × 10³ kg))

<em>M</em> ≈ 2.8 × 10¹⁴ kg

A person walks the path shown below. The total trip consists of four straight-line paths.
dmitriy555 [2]

At the end of the walk, the person's resultant displacement is 495.1 m at 63⁰ south of west.

<h3>What is resultant displacement?</h3>

The resultant displacement of an object is the change in position of the object. It can be described as the shortest distance connecting the final position of the object to the initial position of the object.

<h3>Net horizontal displacement </h3>

Path 1 = 40 m

Path 2 = 0 m

Path 3 = 110 m x cos(30) = 95.26 m

Path 4 = 180 m x cos(60) = 90 m

Total horizontal displacement, X = 40 m + 0 m + 95.26 m + 90 m = 225.26 m

<h3>Net vertical displacement </h3>

Path 1 = 0 m

Path 2 = 230 m

Path 3 = 110 m x sin(30) = 55 m

Path 4 = 180 m x sin(60) = 155.885 m

Total horizontal displacement, Y = 0 m + 230 m + 55 m + 155.885 m = 440.885 m

<h3>Resultant displacement</h3>

R = √(X² + Y²)

R = √(225.26² + 440.885²)

R = 495.1 m

<h3>Direction of the displacement</h3>

θ = arc tan (Y/X)

θ = arc tan (440.885/225.26)

θ =  63⁰

Thus, at the end of the walk, the person's resultant displacement is 495.1 m at 63⁰ south of west.

when energy is transferred from one part of a system to another, some of the energy is lost during the transfer and cannot be us
AlladinOne [14]

Sentences A and D describe examples of energy transformation.Heat is produced when a car's tires rub against the pavement and as electricity passes across power wires, they become hotter.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of energy, the energy of an isolated system stays unchanged throughout time.it is said to be conserved.

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed and can be transferred from one form to the other form.

The complete question is

"When energy is moved from one component of a system to another, some of the energy is lost and cannot be used as planned.

Which two statements provide examples?

A. Friction between a car's tires and the road produces heat.

B. Sunlight strikes a solar panel, generating electricity.

c. Stereo speakers emit a sound when powered by electrical energy,

D. Wind moves a turbine, generating electricity.

I E. Power lines heat up as electricity flows through them."

Some of the energy wasted during the movement of energy from one section of a system to another is heat is produced by friction between a car's tires and the road and as electricity passes via power lines, they heat up.

Hence, sentences A and D describe examples of energy transformation.
