Answer:

7.1 meters

Explanation:

We need to apply Newton's second law which explains the dynamics of objects under the effect of net forces.

The woman described in the question weighs 500N and has a speed of 4 m/s. If the net force acting on her was zero, she would continue to move at that speed forever (Newton's first law). But we know that there is friction and that force always goes against the movement. In the absence of a counterforce, the friction force is unbalanced and the woman will eventually stop.

The weight of the woman is

W=m.g

We can know her mass

m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{500}{9.8}=51.02\ Kg

We know that the friction force is

F_r=\mu N

Where N is the normal force, which in this conditions is equal to the weight. So the net force is

F_{net}=-\mu W=-0.115 (500Nw)=-57.5 Nw

It's negative because it's oppossed to the movement, assumed to the right side. Since

F_{net}=m.a

a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{-57.5}{51.02}=-1.127\ m/sec^2

From the formulas of cinematics we know:

v_f^2=v_o^2+2ax

Solving for x when v_f=0

x=-\frac{v_o^2}{2a}=-\frac{4^2}{2(-1.127)}

x=7.1\ meters

Your friends sit in a sled in the snow. If you apply a force pf 75 N to them, they have an acceleration of 0.9 m/s ^ 2. What is
Elza [17]

Answer:

Mass of the sled in the snow 83.33 kg.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,  

Force applied to move the sled in the snow (F) = 75N

\text { Acceleration }(a)=0.9 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

We know that

Newton's second law of motion is  

\text { Force }=\text { mass } \times \text { acceleration }

F = ma (Or "force" is equal to "mass" times "acceleration".)

So if we move this around we can isolate mass and get mass

\text { Mass }=\frac{\text { force }}{\text { accelearation }}

\mathrm{M}=\frac{75}{0.9}

M = 83.33 kg

Mass of the sled in the snow <u>83.33 kg.</u>

How does Lenz's Law illustrate the concept that "you can't get
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

When there is a change in magnetic flux linkage through a loop of wire, an electromotive force is induced in the loop, according to the Faraday-Newmann-Lenz Law:

\epsilon=-\frac{N\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}

where

N is the number of turns in the loop

\Delta \Phi is the change in magnetic flux through the loop

\Delta t is the time elapsed

The negative sign in the formula represents Lenz's Law, and tells us about the direction of the electromotive force.

In fact, the negative sign means that the direction of the induced emf is such that to oppose to the change in the magnetic flux that originated the induced emf.

This is a consequence of the law of conservation of energy: no energy can be created out of nowhere. In fact, when the emf is induced in the loop, electrical energy appears in the circuit; however, this electric energy cannot come out of nowhere. Instead, it is just "created" from the transformation of some other form of energy (for instance, the mechanical energy that is used to move the loop in the magnetic field, and changing its magnetic flux).

The negative sign in Lenz's Law tells exactly this: the direction of the induced emf is such that it opposes the initial change in magnetic flux that generated the induced emf, so that overall the total energy is conserved.

The conversion of sugar to energy in the presence of oxygen is
Ahat [919]

Answer:

A. respiration.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration can be defined as a series of metabolic reactions that typically occur in cells so as to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). During cellular respiration, high energy intermediates are created that can then be oxidized to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Therefore, the intermediary products are produced at the glycolysis and citric acid cycle stage.

Additionally, mitochondria provides all the energy required in the cell by transforming energy forms through series of chemical reactions; breaking down of glucose into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) used for providing energy for cellular activities in the body of living organisms.

Basically, oxygen goes into the body of a living organism such as plants, humans and animals when they breathe while glucose is absorbed by the body when they eat.

Hence, the conversion of sugar to energy in the presence of oxygen is respiration.

What is the volume of this bubble when it reaches the surface?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Volume will be 15 mL. Solution:- If we look at the given information then it is Boyle's law as the temperature is constant and the volume changes inversely as the pressure changes. So, the volume of the air bubble at the surface will be 15 mL.
