Josh starts his sled at the top of a 2.9-m-high hill that has a constant slope of 25∘. After reaching the bottom, he slides acro

ss a horizontal patch of snow. The hill is frictionless, but the coefficient of kinetic friction between his sled and the snow is 0.06. How far from the base of the hill does he end up?

Answer:

S=48.29 m

Explanation:

Given that the height of the hill h = 2.9 m

Coefficient of kinetic friction between his sled and the snow μ = 0.08

Let u be the speed of the skier at the bottom of the hill.

By applying conservation of energy at the top and bottom of the inclined plane we get.

Potential Energy=kinetic Energy

mgh = (1/2) mu²

u² = 2gh

u²=2(9.81)(2.9)

   =56.89

u=7.54 m/s

a = - f / m

a = - μ*m*g / m

a = - μg

From equation of motion

v²- u² = 2 -μ g S

v=0 m/s

-(7.54)²=-2(0.06)(9.81)S

S=48.29 m

What is the relationship between amplitude and frequency of a wave?.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The relationship between the wave's amplitude and frequency is such that it is inversely proportional to the frequency. The amplitude decreases as the frequency increases. The amplitude increases as the frequency decreases. The higher the energy of a wave, the higher the amplitude. The lower the energy, the lower the amplitude. Energy has no effect on wavelength, speed, or frequency, only the amplitude.

Find the weight of an astronaut whose mass is 75 kg on the moon
gladu [14]
The formula for weight is always weight=mass X gravitational field strength.
We already know the mass is 75kg.
The gravitational field strength on the moon is 1.6N. To find out the weight, we can substitute these values in to the formula.
Weight=75 X 1.6
Weight= 120N
Weight is measured on Neutons as it is a force.

Energy is conventionally measured in Calories as well as in joules. One Calorie in nutrition is one kilocalorie, defined as 1 kc
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

a) The student must run flight of stairs to lose 1.00 kg of fat 709.5 times.

b) Average power

P(w)= 1062.07 [w]

P(hp)=1.42 [hp]

c) This activity is highly unpractical, because the high amount of repetitions he has to due in order to lose, just 1 Kg of fat.

Explanation:

First, lets consider the required amount of work to move the mass of the student. (considering running stairs just as a vertical movement)

Work:

W= F*d= m*g*d

Where m is the mass of the student, g is gravity (9.8 m/s) and d is the total distance going up the stairs (0.15m *85steps= 12.75m )

W= F*d= m*g*d=85* 9.8*12.75=10620.75 [J]

Converting from Joules to Kcals:

\frac{10620.75}{4186} =2.537 Kcal

Now lets take into account the efficiency of the human body (20%)

2.537 ---> 20%

 x       ---> 100%

x=\frac{2.537*100}{20} =12.685

So the student is consuming 12.685 KCals each time he runs up the stairs.

Now,

1 g --> 9 Kcals

1000 g --> 9000KCals

Burning 1 g of fat, requieres 9 KCals, 1000g burns 9000KCals. So in order to burn a 1Kg of fat:

\frac{9000Kcals}{12.685Kcals} =709.5 times

He must run up the stairs 709.5 times, to burn 1 Kg of fat.

********************

For b) just converting units, taking into account the time lapse. (53103.75 is the 100% of the energy in joules, from converting 12.685Kcals to joules)

Power=\frac{Joules}{Seconds} =\frac{53103.75}{50} =1062.075 [W]\\

P(hp)=\frac{P(w)}{745.7} =\frac{1062.075}{745.7} =1.42[hp]

In a laundromat, during the spin-dry cycle of a washer, the rotating tub goes from rest to its maximum angular speed of 2.2 rev/
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

n_{T} = 31.68\,rev

Explanation:

The angular acceleration is:

\ddot n_{1} = \frac{2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} -0\,\frac{rev}{s} }{8.8\,s}

\ddot n_{1} = 0.25\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}

And the angular deceleration is:

\ddot n_{2} = \frac{0\,\frac{rev}{s}-2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} }{20\,s}

\ddot n_{2} = -0.11\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}

The total number of revolutions is:

n_{T} = n_{1} + n_{2}

n_{T} = \frac{\left(2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(0.25\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} \right)} + \frac{\left(0\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(-0.11\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} \right)}

n_{T} = 31.68\,rev
