A heavy sled and a light sled, both moving horizontally with the same speed, suddenly slide onto a rough patch of snow and event

ually come to a stop. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sleds and the rough snow is the same for both of them.
Which of the following statements about these sleds are correct?

A) Both sleds will slide the same distance on the rough snow before stopping.

B) The heavy sled will slide farther on the rough snow than the light sled.

C) The light sled will slide farther on the rough snow than the heavy sled.

Answer:

A) Both sleds will slide the same distance on the rough snow before stopping.

D) The friction from the snow will do more negative work on the heavy sled than on the light sled.

Explanation:The coefficient of kinetic friction is the ratio of the force of friction of a given object or material to the normal force acting on it,it depends mainly on the nature of the surface in consideration. The higher the roughness of a surface is, the higher the coefficient of kinetic friction. For an object at rest on a plane surface with no other force acting on it,the normal force will be considered as the force of gravity.

Answer:

The correct answers is option A) "Both sleds will slide the same distance on the rough snow before stopping".

Explanation:

For objects moving horizontally at the same speed, an equal coefficient of kinetic friction would mean that both objects will move the same distance before stopping, independently of their mass. The coefficient of kinetic friction is obtain from dividing the force needed to pull an object between the force that holds or prevents the object from moving. The coefficient of kinetic friction is a dimensionless scalar, which means that is independent of the size of the object because it depends only in the forces that act upon it.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Distance, d = 0.1 m

It is given that,

Initial velocity of meson,

Finally, the meson is coming to rest v = 0

Acceleration of the meson,  (opposite to initial velocity)

Using third equation of motion as :

s is the distance the meson travelled before coming to rest.

So,

 

s = 0.1 m

The meson will cover the distance of 0.1 m before coming to rest. Hence, this is the required solution.

Find the speed of a satellite in a circular orbit around the Earth with a radius 3.57 times the mean radius of the Earth. (Radiu
Gnesinka [82]

The orbiting velocity of the satellite is 4.2km/s.

To find the answer, we need to know about the orbital velocity of a satellite.

<h3>What's the expression of orbital velocity of a satellite?</h3>
  • Mathematically, orbital velocity= √(GM/r)
  • r = radius of the orbital, M = mass of earth
<h3>What's the orbital velocity of a satellite orbiting earth with a radius 3.57 times the earth radius?</h3>
  • M= 5.98×10²⁴ kg, r= 3.57× 6.37×10³ km = 22.7×10⁶m
  • Orbital velocity= √(6.67×10^(-11)×5.98×10²⁴/22.7×10⁶)

=4.2km/s

Thus, we can conclude that the orbiting velocity of the satellite is 4.2km/s.

A cart is driven by a large propeller or fan, which can accelerate or decelerate the cart. The cart starts out at the position x
mash [69]

Answer:

The acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion:

Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2*a*x

2*a*x = Vf^2 - Vi^2

a = (Vf^2 - Vi^2)/ 2*x

Where Vf is the final velocity of the cart, Vi is the initial velocity of the cart, a the acceleration of the cart and x the displacement of the cart.

Let x = Xf -Xi

Where Xf is the final position of the cart and Xi the initial position of the cart.

x = 12.5 - 0

x = 12.5

The cart comes to a stop before changing direction

Vf = 0 m/s

a = (0^2 - 5^2)/ 2*12.5

a = - 1 m/s^2

The cart is decelerating

Therefore the acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.
