A toboggan and rider have a total mass of 100 kg and travel down along the (smooth) slope defined by the equation y=0.2x2. At th

e instant x=8 m, the toboggan's speed is 4 m/s. At this point, determine the rate of increase in speed and the normal force which the toboggan exerts on the slope. Neglect the size of the toboggan and rider for the calculation

Answer:

9.35 m/s^2

n = 292.24

Explanation:

y = 0.2×(x^2) , the equation that desribes the slope is parabolic, then;

the tangent line at a point can be found by differentiating the equation:

dy/dx = 0.4×x

then, at x = 8 m:

dy/dx = 0.4×8 = 3.2

that represents the slope of the tangent line

then to find the incline:

tan(∅) = 3.2

      ∅ = 72.65°

at the point, the toboggan is sitting at 72.65° on the incline.

since the surface is smooth, no friction.

the only force playing is the parallel component of gravity, then by Newton's second law:

F = m×a

a = F/m

  = m×g×sin(∅)/m

  = g×sin(∅)

  = (9.8)×(sin(72.65°))

  = 9.35 m/s^2

then the normal force is given by:

n = m×g×cos(∅) = (100)×(9.8)×(cos(72.65))

n = 292.24

An 8.0 cm object is 40.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Its image is 16.0 cm in front of the mirro
svet-max [94.6K]
 We can rearrange the mirror equation before plugging our values in. 
1/p = 1/f - 1/q. 
1/p = 1/10cm - 1/40cm
1/p = 4/40cm - 1/40cm = 3/40cm
40cm=3p  <-- cross multiplication
13.33cm = p

Now that we have the value of p, we can plug it into the magnification equation.

M=-16/13.33=1.2
1.2=h'/8cm
9.6=h'

So the height of the image produced by the mirror is 9.6cm.

The main purpose of an air bag is to stop a passenger during a car accident in a greater amount of time than if the air bag were
Simora [160]

Answer:

a) 45571 N  

b) 22786 N

c) 4557 N

Explanation:

  • Since the goal of the airbag is helping the person to stop after the collision in a greater time, this means that the change in momentum must finish when this is just zero.
  • In other words, the change in momentum, must be equal to the initial one, but with opposite sign.

       \Delta p = - p_{o} = -m*v = -55 kg*29m/s = -1595 kgm/s (1)

  • Now, just applying the original form of  Newton's 2nd Law, we know that this change in momentum must be equal to the impulse needed to stop the person:

       \Delta p = F* \Delta t  (2)

  • So, as we know the magnitude of Δp from (1) and we have different Δt as givens, we can get the different values of F (in magnitude) required to stop the person for each one of them, as follows:

       F_{1} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{1}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.035s} = 45571 N (3)

       F_{2} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{2}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.07s} = 22786 N (4)

       F_{3} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{3}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.35s} = 4557 N (5)

What is the most likely reason it is dangerous to break open a compressed gas tank?
erastova [34]
The main reason why it's very dangerous to open compress gas tank is it can cause major disaster not only in human but also in plants and animals. Compress gas is flammable. And it's like a bomb the damage of gas tank is very catastrophic. It is very harmful if mishandled.
