Answer:

Using an object of less mass can reduce the energy lost due to friction.

Explanation:

let the mass of the object be M.

acceleration due to gravity be g, coefficient of kinetic friction between object and slider be \alpha  , angle between horizntal and slider be ∅ and distance slided by the object be d.

work done by friction of the ramp will be the energy lost by ramp due to friction.

work done = force×displacement

force = \alpha×M×g×cos∅

displacement= d

therefore work done =  \alpha×M×g×cos∅×d

therefore on decreasing the mass M we can see that work done by friction decreases so the energy lost due to friction also decreases.

Ray Of Light [21]

10.4 N

Given

m = 1.10 kg

θ = 15.0°

g = 9.81 m/s2

Solution

Fnet, y = ΣF y = Fn − Fg, y = 0

Fn = Fg, y = Fg

cosθ = mgcosθ

Fn = (1.10 kg)(9.81 m/s2

)(cos15.0°) = 10.4 N

How to calculate depth of sea whan a ship receives sound produced by its fathometer after 3.5 second
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

2600 m

Explanation:

A fathometer produces a sound wave and then detects the echo.  It takes 3.5 seconds for the echo to reach the ship, so that means it takes half the time (1.75 seconds) to reach the ocean floor.

The speed of sound in seawater is approximately 1500 m/s, so the depth of the ocean at that point is:

d = 1500 m/s × 1.75 s

d = 2625 m

Rounding to two significant figures, the depth is approximately 2600 m.

A 1650 kg car accelerates at a rate of 4.0 m/s^2. How much force is the car's engine producing?
Westkost [7]
F = M A

Force = (mass) x (acceleration) 

                   = (1,650 kg) (4 m/s²) = 6,600 kg-m/s² = <em>6,600 Newtons</em>

A car is initially traveling at 12 m/s when the driver sees a yellow light ahead. He accelerates at a constant 7 m/s^2 for 6 s i
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

v = 54m/s

Explanation:

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

a = 7m/s²

u = 12m/s

t = 6s

7 = (v-12)/6

v - 12 = 42

v = 54m/s

(Correct me if i am wrong)
