Answer:

260 N

Explanation:

The acceleration of the skier is gotten by using an equation of motion:

v^2=u^2+2as

where <em>u</em> and <em>v</em> are the initial and final velocities, <em>a</em> is the acceleration and <em>s</em> is the distance.

a = \dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s} = \dfrac{12^2-0^2}{2\times25} = 2.88 \text{ m/s}^2

The force on the slider is then

F = ma

F = 92\times2.88 = 264.96 \text{ N} = 260 \text{ N}

Answer:

264.96 N.

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the product of the mass and the acceleration of a body.

From the question,

F = ma.................. Equation 1

Where m = mass of the water skier, a = acceleration of the water skier.From Newton's equation of motion,

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 2

Where v and u = final and initial velocity respectively, a = acceleration, s = distance.

Given: v = 12 m/s, u = 0 m/s ( from rest), s = 25 m

Substitute into equation 2

12² = 0²+2(25)(a)

144 = 50a

a = 144/50

a = 2.88 m/s².

Also given: m = 92 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

F = 92(2.88)

F = 264.96 N.

Which would you expect to freeze faster pure water or salt solution why?
krek1111 [17]
Pure water.

A salt solution contains impurities whereas pure water will not contain any impurities.

Impurities increase the boiling point (freezing point) of a substance.

Thus, I would expect the pure water solution to freeze faster than the salt solution.

When you are sitting a few feet from a fire, your skin feels warm. What forms of heat transfer are acting to transfer heat from
algol [13]
<span>In the question,' when you are sitting a few feet from the fire, your skin feels warmed. What form of heat transfer are acting to transfer heat from the fire to your skin, the correct option is A, that is, convection and radiation. Heat transfer is defined as the exchange of thermal energy between physical systems. The rate at which the heat is transfer depends on the temprature of the system and the properties of the intervening medium through which the heat is been transfered. There are three basic modes of heat transfer, these are: conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction is defined as the transfer of heat between two bodies through physical contact. When two bodies which have different temprature come in contact, there will be a transfer of heat energy between them until the two of them have the same temprature. Conduction usually occurs in solids and liquids; it occurs in gases also but it is extremely slow. Convection is the process by which heat is transfer in fluids, that is, liquids and gases. This is how convection operates: when a fluid is heated, it expands and it becomes lighter, this makes it to rise upward and move to the cooler part of the container, as it rises, it will be replaced by the unheated surrounding particles. This cycle continues until heat is evenly distributed all through the fluid. There are two types of convection: natural and forced convection. The heating of the earth surface by the sun ray is an example of natural convection while the air conditioner we use at home operates by mean of forced convection. Both conduction and convection require matter for heat transfer. Radiation is the transfer of heat from one place to another through electromagnetic waves. The hot body transfer heat by emitting electromagnetic waves. The properties of the electromagnetic waves depend on the temperature of the body. The higher the temperature the more intense the rate of emission of radiation. Radiation can occur in all objects and does not require matter for heat transfer. The heat of the sun reaches the earth surface by means of radiation. In the question given, as the air surrounding the fire were heated they rise and were replaced by the unheated air particles. The continuation of this cycle makes the heat energy to be transferred to the objects around. Thus, the heat from the fire was transferred via convection and radiation. </span>
