A 78−kg skier is sliding down a ski slope at a constant velocity. The slope makes an angle of 21° above the horizontal direction

. (a) Neglecting any air resistance, what is the force of kinetic friction acting on the skier? (b) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow?

Answer:

274N 0.41

Explanation:

As he is sliding down in a constant speed then the force that accelerates him (weight) and the force that slows his down (friction) are equal.

then

<em>friction=mass x gravity x sin(21)</em>

Fr=78kg x 9.8m/s2 x sin(21)=274N

<em>friction= coefficient of kinetic friction x normal force of from the slope</em>

Fr= u x 78kg x 9.8m/s2 x cos(21)=274N

Fr= u x 78kg x 9.8m/s2 x cos(21)=274Nu=274/677=0.41

A 0.55-μF capacitor is connected to a 3.5-V battery. How much charge is on each plate of the capacitor?
yan [13]

Answer:

1.925 μC

Explanation:

Charge: This can be defined as the product of the capacitance of a capacitor and the voltage. The S.I unit of charge is Coulombs (C)

The formula for the charge stored in a capacitor is given as,

Q = CV ................... Equation 1

Where Q = charge, C = Capacitor, V = Voltage.

Note: 1 μF  = 10⁻⁶  F

Given: C = 0.55 μF = 0.55×10⁻⁶ F, V = 3.5 V.

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 0.55×10⁻⁶×3.5

Q = 1.925×10⁻⁶ C.

Q = 1.925 μC

Hence the charge on the plate = 1.925 μC

A light-year is _______________
kozerog [31]
The correct answer would be A "<span>A light-year is the distance light travels in a year.

This is considered a unit of distance connected to the distance that light can travel in one year. It is proved that light travels at 300,000 km per second so, in 1 year, it might travel 10 trillion km.

Problem: An ice hockey player hits a puck of mass 0.15 kilograms with a force of 100 newtons in the horizontal direction. What i
valina [46]
The acceleration produced in a body is always in the direction of the resultant force acting on the body. Therefore, we may determine the horizontal acceleration using the horizontal force applied. To do this, we may apply the mathematical form of Newton's second law:

Force = mass * acceleration
acceleration = force / mass

Substituting the values,
a = 100 / 0.15
a = 666.7 m/s²

The acceleration of the hockey puck is 670 m/s²

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

in your textbook, they have a formula like this:

g=mass of earth*G/R^2

G=6.67*10^-11

apply to this

we have g=6*10^2*4*6.67*10^-11/(6.4*10^3*1000)^2=9.78
