Answer:
0.4
Explanation:
F-Fr=ma where F is applied force, Fr is friction, m is mass and a is acceleration.
Since the mass is moving with a constant velocity, there's no acceleration hence
where N is the weight of object and \mu is coefficient of kinetic friction.
the subject
Substituting F for 8 N and N for 20 N
Therefore, coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4
Answer:
a) Ep = 5886[J]; b) v = 14[m/s]; c) W = 5886[J]; d) F = 1763.4[N]
Explanation:
a)
The potential energy can be found using the following expression, we will take the ground level as the reference point where the potential energy is equal to zero.
b)
Since energy is conserved, that is, potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, the moment the harpsichord touches water, all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
c)
The work is equal to
W = 5886 [J]
d)
We need to use the following equation and find the deceleration of the diver at the moment when he stops his velocity is zero.
By performing a sum of forces equal to the product of mass by acceleration (newton's second law), we can find the force that acts to reduce the speed of the diver to zero.
m*g - F = m*a
F = m*a - m*g
F = (60*39.2) - (60*9.81)
F = 1763.4 [N]
