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.

Incomplete question

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

Kepler deduced this law of motion from observations of Mars. What information confirms his conclusion that the orbit of Mars is
Leno4ka [110]

Kepler noticed an imaginary line drawn from a planet to the Sun and this line swept out an equal area of space in equal times, If we then draw a triangle out from the Sun to a planet’s position at one point in time, it is notice that the area doesn't change even after the planet has left the original position say like after 2 to 3days or 2hours. So to have same area of triangle means that the the planet move faster when that are closer to the sun and slowly when they are far from the sun.

This led to Kepler's law of orbital motion.

First Law: Planetary orbits are elliptical with the sun at a focus.

Second Law: The radius vector from the sun to a planet sweeps equal areas in equal times.

Third Law: The ratio of the square of the period of revolution and the cube of the ellipse semi-major axis is the same for all planets.

It is this Kepler's law that makes Newton to come up with his own laws on how planet moves the way they do.

Group the labels according to the type of force they describe<br> Contact, no contact or both
Jobisdone [24]

We can confirm that a contact force would be one in which physical contact is needed, while a no contact force does not require contact.

<h3>What are some examples of these forces?</h3>

There are many everyday examples to be used to describe each of these forces. A very common no contact force is gravity. The Earth's gravity exerts a force on all things near the planet, but it does not need to be in physical contact to exert this force, thus making gravity a no contact force. An example of a contact force would be if you were to push another person. You are exerting a force that <u>requires </u>physical contact.

Therefore, we can confirm that a contact force would be one in which physical contact is needed, while a no contact force does not require contact.
