How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram skier at a rate of 1.2m/sec

2 answers:

8 0

Let's use Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Force = (68 kg) x (1.2 m/s²) = 81.6 newtons .

$f=m*a$

68*1.2=81.6

$f=81.6$

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.420 with the floor. If

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The distance is $s= 30.3 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The coefficient of static friction is $\mu_s = 0.42$

The initial speed of the train is $u = 57 \ km /hr = 15.8 \ m/s$

For the crate not to slide the friction force must be equal to the force acting on the train i.e

$-F_f = F$

The negative sign shows that the two forces are acting in opposite direction

=> $mg * \mu_s = ma$

=> $-g * \mu_s = a$

=> $a = -9.8 * 0.420$

=> $a = -4.116 m/s^2$

From equation of motion

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

Here v = 0 m/s since it came to a stop

=> $s= \frac{v^2 - u^2 }{ 2 a}$

=> $s= \frac{0 -(15.8)^2 }{ - 2 * 4.116}$

=> $s= 30.3 \ m$

A worker assigned to the restoration of the Washington Monument is checking the condition of the stone at the very top of the mo

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the nickel at the top of the monument is 8.29 J.

Explanation:

We can find the gravitational potential energy using the following formula.

$GPE=mgh$

Identifying given information.

The nickel has a mass $m=0.005 \,kg$ , and it is a the top of Washington Monument.

The Washington Monument has a height of $h=555 \, ft$ , thus we need to find the equivalence in meters using unit conversion in order to find the gravitational potential energy.

Converting from feet to meters.

Using the conversion factor 1 m = 3.28 ft, we have

$h = 555 \, ft \times \cfrac{1 \, m}{3.28 \, ft}$

That give u s

$h = 169.2 \, m$

Finding Gravitational Potential Energy.

We can replace the height and mass on the formula

$GPE=mgh$

And we get

$GPE=(0.005)(9.8)(169.2) \, J$

$\boxed{GPE=8.29 \,J}$

The gravitational potential energy of the nickel at the top of the monument is 8.29 J.

A car is travelling at a constant speed of 26.5 m/s. Its tires have a radius of 72 cm. If the car slows down at a constant rate

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Magnitude of angular acceleration = -3.95 rad/s²

Explanation:

Angular acceleration is the ratio of linear acceleration and radius.

That is

$\texttt{Angular acceleration}=\frac{\texttt{Linear acceleration}}{\texttt{Radius}}\\\\\alpha =\frac{a}{r}$

Radius = 72 cm = 0.72 m

Linear acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

$a=\frac{11.7-26.5}{5.2}=-2.85m/s^2$

Angular acceleration

$\alpha =\frac{a}{r}=\frac{-2.85}{0.72}=-3.95rad/s^2$

Angular acceleration = -3.95 rad/s²

Magnitude = 3.95 rad/s²
