Which substances in the simulation have particles that are only atoms?
Travka [436]

All matter is made of particles; these can be single atoms or atoms chemically joined to make molecules. Using this fact, matter can be classified into three broad groups: elements, compounds and mixtures. In an element, all the atoms are of the same type. If more than one type of atom is chemically joined, then a compound has been formed. If more than one type of atom or molecule is contained in the same substance, and the particles aren't chemically joined, this is a mixture.

A girl is sledding down a slope that is inclined at 30º with respect to the horizontal. The wind is aiding the motion by providi
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The sled required 9.96 s to travel down the slope.

Explanation:

Please, see the figure for a description of the problem. In red are the x and y-components of the gravity force (Fg). Since the y-component of Fg (Fgy) is of equal magnitude as Fn but in the opposite direction, both forces get canceled.

Then, the forces that cause the acceleration of the sled are the force of the wind (Fw), the friction force (Ff) and the x-component of the gravity force (Fgx).

The sum of all these forces make the sled move. Finding the resulting force will allow us to find the acceleration of the sled and, with it, we can find the time the sled travel.

The magnitude of the friction force is calculated as follows:

Ff = μ · Fn

where :

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

Fn =  normal force

The normal force has the same magnitude as the y-component of the gravity force:

Fgy = Fg · cos 30º = m · g · cos 30º

Where

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

Then:

Fgy = m · g · cos 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · cos 30º

Fgy = 744 N

Then, the magnitude of Fn is also 744 N and the friction force will be:

Ff = μ · Fn = 0.151 · 744 N = 112 N

The x-component of Fg, Fgx, is calculated as follows:

Fgx = Fg · sin 30º = m·g · sin 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · sin 30º = 430 N

The resulting force, Fr, will be the sum of all these forces:

Fw + Fgx - Ff = Fr

(Notice that forces are vectors and the direction of the friction force is opposite to the other forces, then, it has to be of opposite sign).

Fr = 161 N + 430 N - 112 N = 479 N

With this resulting force, we can calculate the acceleration of the sled:

F = m·a

where:

F = force

m = mass of the object

a = acceleration

Then:

F/m = a

a = 479N/87.7 kg = 5.46 m/s²

The equation for the position of an accelerated object moving in a straight line is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

Since the sled starts from rest and the origin of the reference system is located where the sled starts sliding, x0 and v0 = 0.

x = 1/2· a ·t²

Let´s find the time at which the position of the sled is 271 m:

271 m = 1/2 · 5.46 m/s² · t²

2 · 271 m / 5.46 m/s² = t²

<u>t = 9.96 s </u>

The sled required almost 10 s to travel down the slope.

A block of mass 10.0 kg is pulled to the right along a rough horizontal surface with a constant horizontal force of 20.0 N. The
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

the magnitude of acceleration will be 1.50m/s^2

Explanation:

To calculate your acceleration, you can use your formula that states that the net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration of the object. Fnet=ma

if you draw out this situation and label the forces you will have your vector towards the right with a magnitude of 20.0N and then your friction vector will be pointing to the left (in other words, in the negative direction) (opposing the direction of movement) with a magnitude of 5.00N, with the 10.0 kg box in the middle.

The net force will be calculated using F1+F2=Fnet where your F1=20.0N and F2= -5.00N (since it is towards the negative direction).

you will find that Fnet=15.0N

With that, plug in the values you know to calculate the acceleration of the block:

Fnet=ma

(15.0N)=(10.0kg)a    from her you can divide both sides by 10 to isolate a:

1.50=a  (and now make sure to label the units of your answer)

a=1.50m/s^2 (which is the typical unit for acceleration)

Add the KE increase and the work done against friction.

The final velocity is twice the average, or 3.0 m/s
The final KE is (1/2)*25*3^2 = 112.5 J

The friction work done is 6*3.8 = 22.8 J
