You are skiing in ... preparation for a competition. being a dedicated physics student, you happen to have a scale with you. you

notice that the mountainside provides you with 346 n of support force. the snow under your wooden skis is fairly wet. how much friction force acts on your skis as you move down the mountain?

Answer: 34.6N


Explanation:


1) The friction force that acts on the skis as you move down the mountain follows the rule:


Friction force = friction kinetic coefficient × Normal force


2) The friction kinetic coeffcient for waxed wood skis on snow is reported in some literature as 0.10.


3) The normal force is given in the statement: 346 N


4) With that you calculate the friction force as:


Friction force = 0.1 × 346N = 34.6N

Conduction is the transfer of heat in:<br> 1 gases<br> 2 liquids<br> 3 solids
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Conduction heat transfer is the transfer of <em>heat by means of molecular excitement within a material without bulk motion</em> of the matter. 

Explanation:

Conduction heat transfer in gases and liquids is due to the collisions and diffusion of the molecules during heir random motion.

A 0.2 kg block sliding on a horizontal table slows down from 25 m/s to 20 m/s. How much energy does the block lose due to fricti
Papessa [141]

Answer:

the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 0.2 kg

initial velocity of the block, u = 25 m/s

final velocity of the block, v = 20 m/s

The kinetic energy lost due to friction is calculated as;

\Delta K.E= K.E_f - K.E_i\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -  \frac{1}{2}mu^2\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2}m(v^2 -u^2)\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2} \times 0.2 (20^2 - 25^2)\\\\\Delta K.E= -22.5 \ J

Therefore, the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J

Suppose an object is launched from a point 320 feet above the earth with an initial velocity of 128 ft/sec upward, and the only
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

(a)Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =576 ft .

(b)Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.

Explanation:

Initial velocity: Initial velocity is a velocity from which an object starts to move.

u is usually used for notation of initial notation.

Final velocity: Final velocity is a velocity of an object after certain second from starting.

The final velocity is denoted by v.

Acceleration: The difference of final velocity and initial velocity per unit time

The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².

(a)

Given that u= 128 ft\sec and g = 32 ft/sec².

At highest point the velocity of the object is 0 i.e v=0

Since the displacement is opposite to the gravity.

Therefore acceleration( a)= -g = -32 ft/sec².

To find the time this to happen we use the following formula

v=u+at

Here v=0

⇒0=128+(-32) t

⇒32t=128

⇒t = 4 sec

To determine the height we use the following formula

s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

\Rightarrow s= (128\times4)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-32) \times4^2

⇒s= 256 ft

Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =(320+256)ft=576 ft .

(b)

At the highest point the velocity of the object is 0.

so u=0. a=g= 32 ft/sec²  [ since the direction of gravity and the displacement are same] s= 576 ft

To determine the time to fall we use the following formula

s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

\Rightarrow 576 = (0\times t)+\frac{1}{2} \times 32 \times t^2

\Rightarrow 16\times t^2=576

\Rightarrow t^2=\frac{576}{16}

\Rightarrow t^2=36

⇒t=6 sec

Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.
