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.

Objects fall near the surface of the earth with a constant downward acceleration of 10 m/s2 . Suppose a falling object is moving
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The final velocity of the object after 2 seconds is 30 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

constant downward acceleration, a =  10 m/s²

initial velocity of the object falling down, v = 10 m/s

time of fall, t = 2 s

The final velocity of the object is given by;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity

v = 10 + (10)(2)

v = 10 + 20

v = 30 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the object after 2 seconds is 30 m/s

A electric heater that draws 13.5 a of dc current has been left on for 10 min. how many electrons that have passed through the h
kicyunya [14]
By definition, Ampere is a unit of current which is a measure of the amount of charge passing through a point in a circuit per unit  of time, with an equivalent charge of 1.602 x 10^(-19) Coulomb per electron. To determine the number of electrons passing through the heater, we use the definition of the current. We calculate as follows:

13.5 A = 13.5 C per second
Charge = 13.5 C/s (10 min) ( 60 s / 1 min)
Charge = 8100 C 

Number of electrons = 8100 C / 1.602 x 10^(-19) C per electron
Number of electrons = 5.1 x 10^22 electrons

Therefore, there are 5.1 x10^22 electrons that assed through the heater for 10 minutes.
