Answer:

a = 5.1\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given,

The angle of the slide=42^\circ

The mass of the child is= m

coefficient of friction = 0.20

when she slides down now apply Newton's law

ma =mg \sin\theta - f

ma = mg\sin \theta -\mu mg \cos \theta

therefore the acceleration

a=g \sin\theta -\mu gcos\theta

a=g[\sin \theta -\mu \cos \theta]

a=9.8\times [\sin 42^\circ -0.2\times \cos 42^\circ]

a = 5.1\ m/s^2

hence, the magnitude of acceleration during her sliding is equal to  a = 5.1\ m/s^2

Answer:

The Northern flowing stream will affect the coast of Europe by  making  climate of Western Europe and Northern Europe to be warmer than other areas that are located around the same latitude and this is simply because of the North Atlantic Current

Explanation:

The Northern flowing stream will affect the coast of Europe because the North Atlantic current causes the Gulf stream to be split into two ( 2 ) and the Northern stream which is a warm stream crossing over to Northern Europe. <em>The Gulf stream makes climate of Western Europe and Northern Europe to be warmer than other areas that are located around the same latitude and this is simply because of the North Atlantic Current</em>

A wave of wavelength 0.3 m travels 900 m in 3.0 s. Calculate its frequency.
zzz [600]

Answer:

1000 Hz

Explanation:

<em>The frequency would be 1000 Hz.</em>

The frequency, wavelength, and speed of a wave are related by the equation:

<em>v = fλ ..................(1)</em>

where v = speed of the wave, f = frequency of the wave, and λ = wavelength of the wave.

Making f the subject of the formula:

<em>f = v/λ.........................(2)</em>

Also, speed (v) = distance/time.

From the question, distance = 900 m, time = 3.0 s

Hence, v = 900/3.0 = 300 m/s

Substitute v = 300 and λ = 0.3  into equation (2):

f = 300/0.3 = 1000 Hz

A bar magnet is held above the center of a conducting ring in the horizontal plane. The magnet is dropped so it falls lengthwise
Alenkinab [10]

Explanation:

Since, it is given that the magnet drops and falls lengthwise towards the canter of the ring. As a result, change in magnetic flux will occur which tends to induce an electric current in the ring.

Therefore, a magnetic field is also produced by the ring itself which will actually oppose or repel the magnet.  

Thus, we can conclude that the falling magnet be repelled by the ring due to the magnetic interaction of the magnet and the ring.

Calculate velocity at halfway to the ground.

vfinal = root 2ad

v = root (2*9.81m/s^2*25)

v = 69.367175234 m/s

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv^2

Kinetic energy = 1/2 * (69.367175234 m/s^s^2
