ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: $32.65\ m$

Explanation:

Given

mass of laptop m=2 kg

The velocity of car u=8 m/s

The coefficient of static friction is $\mu_s=0.4$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu_k=0.2$

As the car is moving, so the coefficient of kinetic friction comes into play

deceleration offered by friction $\mu_kg=0.2\times 9.8\ m/s^2$

Using the equation of motion $v^2-u^2=2as\\$

insert the values

$0^2-8^2=2(-0.2\times 9.8)s\\\\s=\dfrac{64}{1.96}\\\\s=32.65\ m$

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

7.39 m or 3.61 m

Explanation:

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

f = Frequency = 90 Hz

v = Speed of sound = 340 m/s

Path difference of the two waves is given by

$s_1-s_2=\frac{\lambda}{2}$

Velocity of wave

$v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{340}{90}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=3.78\ m$

$s_1=s_2\pm\frac{\lambda}{2}\\\Rightarrow s_1=5.5\pm \frac{3.78}{2}\\\Rightarrow s_1=7.39\ m, 3.61\ m$

So, the location from the worker is 7.39 m or 3.61 m

A wave amplitude 0.36m interferes with a second wave of amplitude 0.22m traveling in the same direction. What is the largest res

DerKrebs [107]

The largest resultant amplitude would be that created by constructive interference, basically when the two waves are of the same phase, so it would be 0.36m+0.22m= 0.58 m.

6. Mr. Leppold jumps out of a plane with a parachute...before the chute opens,

polet [3.4K]

1) He has both potential and kinetic energy

2) Before the parachute opens, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of a body is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field, and it is given by:

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the body above the ground

On the other hand, the kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion; it is given by

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

v is the speed of the object

Here Mr. Leppold has both potential and kinetic energy before opening the parachute, because:

- It is moving at a certain speed, so $v\neq 0$ , therefore he has kinetic energy

- He is at a certain height above the ground, $h\neq 0$ , therefore he has potential energy

The total mechanical energy of Mr.Leppold is the sum of the potential and the kinetic energy:

$E=PE+KE$

According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of air resistance, this quantity remains constant.

During the fall, the height of Leppold decreases: this means that as $h$ decreases, the potential energy decreases too.

However, the total energy E must remain constant: therefore, this means that the kinetic energy KE must increase, and this occurs because the speed of Mr. Leppold increases as he falls.
