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

What is the direction of the current flowing through the wire—left or right? The current flows to the .
muminat

Answer:

right

Explanation:

Current flows from the positive (+ve) terminal of the battery to the negative (-ve). This is called conventional current flow.

Therefore, the electrons are negatively charged and want to get away from the Negative Terminal and go to the Positive Terminal, Hence the electrons move from left to right and current flows from right to left.

peach pie in a 9.00 in diameter plate is placed upon a rotating tray. Then, the tray is rotated such that the rim of the pie pla
zavuch27 [327]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of the peach pie, d = 9 inches

Radius of the pie, r = 4.5 inches

The tray is rotated such that the rim of the pie plate moves through a distance of 183 inches, d = 183 inches

Let \theta is the angular distance that the pie plate has moved through.

It is given by :

\theta=\dfrac{d}{r}

\theta=\dfrac{183}{4.5}  

\theta=40.66\ radian

Since, 1 radian = 57.29 degrees

\theta=2329.64\ degrees

Since, 1 radian = 0.159155 revolution

\theta=6.47124\ revolution

Hence, this is the required solution.
