Answer:

2000 nickels

Explanation:

One way to solve proportionality problems, direct and inverse: the simple 3 rule.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct (when one magnitude increases so does the other), the simple direct rule of three must be applied.

On the contrary, if the relationship between the magnitudes is inverse (when one magnitude increases the other decreases) the rule of three simple inverse applies.

The simple 3 rule is an operation that helps us quickly solve proportionality problems, both direct and inverse.

To make a simple rule of three we need 3 data: two magnitudes proportional to each other, and a third magnitude. From these, we will find out the fourth term of proportionality.

In the simple three rule, therefore, the proportionality relationship between two known values A and B is established, and knowing a third value C, a fourth value D is calculated.

A -> B

C -> D

Calculation

1 nickel --> 5 g

X? nickel --> 10000g

X = (10000 g * 1 nickel) / 5 g

X = 2000 nickels

Answer:

The resultant velocity is <u>169.71 km/h at angle of 45° measured clockwise with the x-axis</u> or the east-west line.

Explanation:

Considering west direction along negative x-axis and north direction along positive y-axis

Given:

The car travels at a speed of 120 km/h in the west direction.

The car then travels at the same speed in the north direction.

Now, considering the given directions, the velocities are given as:

Velocity in west direction is, $\overrightarrow{v_1}=-120\ \vec{i}$

Velocity in north direction is, $\overrightarrow{v_2}=120\ \vec{j}$

Now, since $v_1\ and\ v_2$ are perpendicular to each other, their resultant magnitude is given as:

$|\overrightarrow{v_{res}}|=\sqrt{|\overrightarrow{v_1}|^2+|\overrightarrow{v_2}|^2}$

Plug in the given values and solve for the magnitude of the resultant.This gives,

$|\overrightarrow{v_{res}}|=\sqrt{(120)^2+(120)^2}\\\\|\overrightarrow{v_{res}}|=120\sqrt{2} = 169.71\ km/h$

Let the angle made by the resultant be 'x' degree with the east-west line or the x-axis.

So, the direction is given as:

$x=\tan^{-1}(\frac{|v_2|}{|v_1|})\\\\x=\tan^{-1}(\frac{120}{-120})=\tan^{-1}(-1)=-45\ deg(clockwise\ angle\ with\ the\ x-axis)$

Therefore, the resultant velocity is 169.71 km/h at angle of 45° measured clockwise with the x-axis or the east-west line.

Your cousin Jannik skis down a blue square ski slope, with an initial speed of 3.6 m/s. He travels 15 m down the mountain side b

fenix001 [56]

Answer: The loss of energy due to friction is equal to 1,253 J.

Explanation:

The problem tells us that the skier has an initial speed of 3.6 m/s, which means that his initial kinetic energy is as follows:

K₁ = 1/2 m v₁² = 1/2 . 58.0 Kg. (3.6)² (m/s)² = 376 J

After coming to a flat landing, his final speed is 7.8 m/s, so the final kinetic energy is as follows:

K₂ = 1/2 m v₂² = 1/2. 58.0 Kg. (7.8)² (m/s)² = 1,764 J

Now, when skying down the slope the increase in kinetic energy only can come from another type of energy, in this case, gravitational potential energy.

If we take the ground flat level as a Zero reference, the initial gravitational potential energy, can be written as follows, by definition:

U₁ = m.g. h (1)

Now, we don't know the value of the height h, but we know that the incline has a 18º angle above the horizontal, and that the distance travelled along the incline is 15 m.

By definition, the sinus of an angle, is equal to the proportion between the height and the hypotenuse , so we can write the following equation:

sin 18º = h / 15 m ⇒ h = 15 m. sin 18º = 4.6 m

Replacing in (1), we get:

U₁ = 58.0 Kg. 9.8 m/s². 4.6 m = 2,641 J

So, we can get the total initial mechanical energy, as follows:

E₁ = K₁ + U₁ = 376 J + 2,641 J = 3,017 J

After arriving to the flat zone, all potential energy has become in kinetic energy, even though not completely, due to the effect of friction.

This remaining kinetic energy can be written as follows:

E₂ = K₂ = 1,764 J

The difference E₂-E₁, is the loss of energy due to friction forces acting during the travel along the 15 m path, and is as follows:

ΔE= E₂ - E₁ = 1,764 J - 3,017 J = -1,253 J

Which forces always push in the opposite direction of motion slow stuff down.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Friction- the external force that acts on objects and causes them to slow down when no other external force acts upon them.
