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

Liula [17]

Answer:

Yes it will move and a= 4.19m/s^2

Explanation:

In order for the box to move it needs to overcome the maximum static friction force

Max Static Friction = μFn(normal force)

plug in givens

Max Static friction = 31.9226

Since 36.6>31.9226, the box will move

Mass= Wieght/g which is 45.8/9.8= 4.67kg

Fnet = Fapp-Fk

= 36.6-16.9918

=19.6082

=ma

Solve for a=4.19m/s^2

If the net force acting on a moving object CAUSES NO CHANGE IN ITS VELOCITY, what happens to the object's momentum?
SOVA2 [1]

If the net force acting on a moving object causes no change in its velocity, the object's momentum will stay the same.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

Momentum of a body in motion refers to the tendency of a body to maintain its inertial motion.

The momentum is the product of its mass and velocity.

This suggests that if the net force acting on a moving object causes no change in its velocity, the momentum of the object will remain the same.

Therefore, if the net force acting on a moving object causes no change in its velocity, the object's momentum will stay the same.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Direction of the magnetic field will be in positive x direction.

The direction of the vector E X B gives the direction of motion of wave.

b ) Magnitude of magnetic field is given by the relation

E₀ / B₀ = c , c is velocity of light

B₀ = E₀ / c

= 20 / (3 x 10⁸)

= 6.67 x 10⁻⁸ T

c ) Average power flowing per unit area by this wave is called Poynting vector

c ε₀E₀² , ε₀ = 8.85X10⁻¹²

= 3 X 10⁸ X 8.85 X 10⁻¹² X 20²

= 1.062 W m⁻²
