Which of the following changes would decrease the coefficient of friction needed for this ride?

Friction occurs between two contacting surfaces. The coefficient of friction is very much dependent on the roughness of these surfaces. Some of the many ways in which the coefficient can be lessened or decreased are to lubricate the surface or make it shiny by eliminating the spikes which caused the roughness.

An ion accelerated through a potential difference of 115 V experiences an increase in kinetic energy of 7.37 x 1017 J. Calculate

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: $6.408(10)^{-19} C$

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the following equation:

$\Delta K=q V$

Where:

$\Delta K=7.37(10)^{-17} J$ is the change in kinetic energy

$V=115 V$ is the electric potential difference

$q$ is the electric charge

Finding $q$ :

$q=\frac{\Delta K}{V}$

$q=\frac{7.37(10)^{-17} J}{115 V}$

Finally:

$q=6.408(10)^{-19} C$

A 35.4 kg girl is riding on the back of a 15.23 kg cart. the cart and the kid are both moving eastward at 4.25 m/s when she step

Grace [21]

Answer:

The final velocity of the cart is $v_c = 7.02 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the girl is $m_g = 35.4 \ kg$

The mass of the cart is $m_c = 15.23 \ kg$

The speed of the cart and kid(girl) is $v = 4.25 \ m/s$

The final velocity of the girl is $v_g = 3.06 \ m/s$

Let assume that velocity eastward is positive and velocity westward is negative (Note that if we assume vise versa it wouldn't affect the answer )

The total momentum of the system before she steps off the back of the cart

is mathematically evaluated as

$p__{T1}} = (m_g + m_c) * v$

substituting values

$p__{T1}} = (35.4 + 15.23) * 4.25$

$p__{T1}} =215.17 \ kg m /s$

The total momentum after she steps off the back of the cart is mathematically evaluated as

$p__{T2}} = (m_g * v_g ) +( m_c * v_c )$

Where $v_c$ is the final velocity of the cart

substituting values

$p__{T2}} = (35.4 * 3.06 ) +( 15.23 * v_c )$

$p__{T2}} = 108. 324 + 15.23 v_c$

Now according to the law of conservation of momentum

$p__{T1}} =p__{T2}}$

So

$215.17 \ kg m /s = 108. 324 + 15.23 v_c$

=> $v_c = 7.02 \ m/s$

Since the value is positive it implies that the cart moved eastward
