Answer:

Wf = –750J

Explanation:

The full solution can be found in the attachment below.

This problem involves the concepts of conservation of momentum and energy.

The potential energy of the sled and child combined is constant since thehy are moving in a level surface.

To find the initial velocity of the sled with child we use the principle of momentum conservation to calculate the v1 which is the commovelocity of the child and sled.

Complete question

A 50.-kilogram child running at 6.0 meters per second jumps onto a stationary 10.-kilogram sled. The sled is on a level frictionless surface.

After a short time, the moving sled with the child aboard reached a rough level surface that exerts a constant frictional force of 54 Newtons on the sled. How much work must be done by friction to bring the sled with the child to a stop.

Explanation:

The mass of the boy is

Mb=50kg

Mass of the sled

Ma=10kg

Velocity of the boy

Speed vb=6m/s

Now, we need to know the velocity of the boy and the sled Vt

Using law of momentum

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

Mb×Vb=(Mb+Ms)Vt

50×6=(50+10)Vt

300=60Vt

Vt=300/60

Vt=5m/s

The kinetic energy of both the boy and the sled is the workdone by friction to to stop the sled

Kinetic enemy is given as

K.E=½mv²

K.E=½×60×5²

K.E=30×25

K.E=750J

So the work done by friction to stop the boy and the sled is -750J

A man walks 6 km north, then turns and walks 6 km east what is the resultant and angle
gulaghasi [49]
That would depend on the man’s starting latitude. If 6.7 mi south of the north pole, for example, the resultant would be 6.7 mi due north of the starting point.

Assume a change at the source of sound reduces the wavelength of a sound wave in air by a factor of 3.
noname [10]

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda ......(1)

(i) Here, the wavelength of a sound wave in air reduces by a factor of 3. Equation (1) becomes :

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other. So, if wavelength of a sound wave in air reduces by a factor of 3, then the frequency will increases by a factor of 3.

(ii) It remains the same.

A solenoid used to produce magnetic fields for research purposes is 2.1 m long, with an inner radius of 28 cm and 1000 turns of
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

I = 2172.46 A

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a solenoid, l = 2.1 m

The inner radius of the solenoid, r = 28 cm = 0.28 m

The number of turns in the wire, N = 1000

The magnetic field in the solenoid, B = 1.3 T

We need to find the current carried by it. We know that, the magnetic field in a solenoid is given by :

B=\mu_o nI\\\\or\\\\B=\mu_o \dfrac{N}{L}I\\\\I=\dfrac{BL}{\mu_o N}

Put all the values,

I=\dfrac{1.3\times 2.1}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 1000}\\\\I=2172.46\ A

So, it carry current of 2172.46 A.
