A child pulls a 3.00-kg sled across level ground at constant velocity with a light rope that makes an angle 30.0° above horizont

al. The tension in the rope is 5.00 N. Assuming the acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2, what is the coefficient of friction between the sled and the ground?

Answer:

μ = 0.161

Explanation:

Since the tension on the rope (F) is being applied at an angle (θ), it should be decomposed into a vertical and a horizontal component.

The vertical component of the tension on the rope (F*sin(θ)) is pulling the sled upwards, decreasing the normal force.

Therefore, the normal force can be calculated as:

N = m*g - F*sin(\theta)\\N= 3*9.8 - 5*sin(30)\\N= 26.9 N

The horizontal component of the tension on the rope (F*cos(θ)) is the force being applied to move the sled and that should equal the coefficient of friction multiplied by the normal force.

F*cos(\theta)=N*\mu\\5*cos(30)=26.9*\mu\\\mu=0.161

the coefficient of friction between the sled and the ground is 0.161

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

0.5 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

a = \frac{v-u}{t} \\a = \frac{30 m/s}{60 s} \\a = 0.5 m/s^2

When released , what is the kinetic energy of the 1c charge of the preceding problem if it flies past its starting position?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
A) When a charge is moved in an electric field the work done (W) is calculated as charge*(change in potential). We can write W = q*V or V = W/q = 10/1 = 10V . This voltage is a difference in electric potential between 2 points within the field. If the charge is positive, and positive work is done upon it, then the final position is more positive than the original one. 

<span>b) If a charge (Q) is released from rest and falls through a potential difference V, then its gain in energy (KE if no other force acts on the charged body) is q*V = 10J. This is the same as the work done in moving the charge to its new position in part (a), and is an example of the conservation of energy.</span>

A glass falls off a shelf. How fast is the glass moving after 0.4 seconds?
tresset_1 [31]

On Earth, gravity increases the speed of a falling object by about 9.8 m/s
every second that it falls.

In 0.4 second, its speed increases by (0.4 x 9.8) = 3.92 m/s.

If it just rolled off of the shelf at the beginning of that 0.4 second, then it
started from zero speed, and its speed after 0.4 second is 3.92 m/s.

Its velocity is 3.92 m/s downward.
