A 66-kg base runner begins his slide into second base when he is moving at a speed of 3.4 m/s. The coefficient of friction betwe

en his clothes and Earth is 0.70. He slides so that his speed is zero just as he reaches the base(a) How much mechanical energy is lost due to friction acting on the runner. (b) How far does he slide?

Answer:

a ) = 381.48 J

b )=  84.25 cm

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the runner

= 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 66 x 3.4²

= 381.48 J

The final kinetic energy of the runner is zero .

Loss of mechanical energy

= 381.48 J

This  loss in  mechanical energy is due to action of frictional force .

b )

Let s be the distance of slide

deceleration due to frictional force

= μmg/m

.7 x 66 x 9.8 / 66

a = - 6.86 m s⁻¹

v² = u² - 2 a s

0 = 3.4² - 2x6.86 s

s = 3.4² / 2x6.86

= .8425 m

84.25 cm

8. What is the weight in newtons of a 10 kg mass on the earth's surface?
iogann1982 [59]
Weight = Mass times Acceleration due to gravity.

Weight = 10 kg times 9.8 m/s^2

Weight = 98 kg

A ray of monochromatic light ( f = 5.09 × 10^14 Hz) passes from air into Lucite at an angle
harina [27]
     Let us consider the air with the index 1 and the lucite with index 2. Using the Snell's Secound Law, we have:

\frac{sen\O_{2}}{sen\O_{1}} = \frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}} \\ sen\O_{2}= \frac{n_{2}*sen\O_{1}}{n_{1}}
 
     Entering the unknowns, remembering that the air refrective index is 1 and the lucite refrective index is 1.5, comes:

sen\O_{2}= \frac{n_{2}*sen\O_{1}}{n_{1}} \\ sen\O_{2}= \frac{1.5* \frac{1}{2} }{1} \\ sen\O_{2}=0.75
  
     Using the arcsin properties, we get:

sen\O_{2}=0.75 \\ arcsin(0.75)=\O_{2} \\ \boxed {\O_{2}=48.59^o}

Obs: Approximate results, and the drawing is attached
