Along a horizontal snow-covered track, a sled, of mass m = 105 kg, slides by the action of a horizontal force of 230 N. The coef
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

The only thing I can figure you need here is the accleration of the sled. The equation we need to find this is Newton's Second Law that says that sum of the forces acting on an object is equal to the object's mass times its acceleration. For us, that looks like this because of the friction working against the sled:

F - f = ma but of course it's much more involved than that simple equation! We have the F value as 230 N, and we have the mass as 105, but we do not have the frictional force, f, and we need it to solve for a in the above equation. We know that

f = μF_n where μ is the coefficient of friction, and F_n is the normal force, aka weight of the object. We will use the coefficient of friction and find the weight in order to fill in for f:

F_n=mg so

F_n=(105)(9.8) so the weight of the sled is

F_n= 1.0 × 10³ with the correct number of sig dig there. Now to find f:

f = (.025)(1.0 × 10³) so

f = 25 to the correct number of sig fig. Now on to our "real" equation:

F - f = ma and

230 - 25 = 105a. We have to do the subtraction first, round, and then divide since the rules for addition and subtraction are different from the rules for dividing and multiplying.

230 - 25 will round to the tens place giving us 210. Then

210 = 105a. 210 has 2 sig figs in it while 105 has 3, so we will divide and round to 2 sig fig:

a = 2.0 m/sec²

If the potential is given by v = xy - 3z-2, then the electric field has a y-component of?
kiruha [24]

If the potential is given by v = xy - 3z-2, then the electric field has a y-component of X

When the charge is present in any form, a point in space has an electric field that is connected to it. The value of E, often known as the electric field strength, electric field intensity, or just the electric field, expresses the strength and direction of the electric field.

Each location in space where a charge exists in any form can be considered to have an electric field attached to it. The electric force per unit charge is another name for an electric field. The electric field's equation is given as E = F / Q. Volts per meter (V/m) is the electric field's SI unit. Newton's per coulomb unit is the same as this one.

reviews the approach taken in problems such as this one. A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 0.916 km due east, 0
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Displacement: 2.230 km    Average velocity: 1.274\frac{km}{h}

Explanation:

Let's represent displacement by the letter S and the displacement in direction 49.7° as A. Displaement is a vector, so we need to decompose all the bird's displacement into their X-Y compoments. Let's go one by one:

  • 0.916 km due east is an horizontal direction and cane be seen as  direction towards the negative side of X-axis.
  • 0.928 km due south is a vertical direction and can be seen as a direction towards the negative side of Y-axis.
  • 3.52 km in a direction of 49.7° has components on X and Y  axes. It is necessary to break it down using trigonometry,

First of all. We need to sum all the X components and all the Y componets.

∑Sx = Ax -0.916 ⇒  ∑Sx = [tex]3.52cos(49.7) - 0.916

∑Sx = 1.361 km

∑Sy = Ay - 0.918 ⇒ ∑Sy = 3.52sin(49.7) - 0.918

∑Sy = 1.767

The total displacement is calculated using Pythagoeran therorem:

S_{total} =\sqrt{Sx^{2}+ Sy^{2} } ⇒

S_{total} = 2.230 km

With displacement calculated, we can find the average speed as follows:

V = S/t  ⇒  V = \frac{2.230}{1.750}

V = 1.274\frac{km}{h}
