Two football players are pushing a 60kg blocking sled across the field at a constant speed of 2.0 m/s. The coefficient of kineti

c friction between the grass and the sled is 0.30. Once they stop pushing, how far will the sled slide before coming to rest

Answer:

The sled slides 0.68m before rest.

Explanation:

Vi= 2 m/s

m= 60kg

μ= 0.3

N= m * g = 60kg * 9.8 m/s²= 588 N

Fr= μ * N

Fr= 176.4 N

a= Fr/m

a= -2.94m/s²

t= Vi/a

t= 0.68 seg

d= Vi*t - a*t²/2

d= 0.68m

Two neutron stars are separated by a distance of 1.0 x 1012 m. They each have a mass of 1.0 x 1028 kg and a radius of 1.0 x 103

son4ous [18]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Gravitational Potential Energy.

Gravitational potential energy can be defined as

$PE = -\frac{GMm}{R}$

As M=m, then

$PE = -\frac{Gm^2}{R}$

Where,

m = Mass

G =Gravitational Universal Constant

R = Distance /Radius

PART A) As half its initial value is u'=2u, then

$U = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}$

$dU = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}$

$dKE = -dU$

Therefore replacing we have that,

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =\frac{Gm^2}{2R}$

Re-arrange to find v,

$v= \sqrt{\frac{Gm}{R}}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*1*10^{28}}{1*10^{12}}}$

$v = 816.7m/s$

Therefore the velocity when the separation has decreased to one-half its initial value is 816m/s

PART B) With a final separation distance of 2r, we have that

$2r = 2*10^3m$

Therefore

$dU = Gm^2(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{2r})$

$v = \sqrt{Gm(\frac{1}{2r}-\frac{1}{R})}$

$v = \sqrt{6.67*10^{-11}*10^{28}(\frac{1}{2*10^3}-\frac{1}{10^{12}})}$

$v = 1.83*10^7m/s$

Therefore the velocity when they are about to collide is $1.83*10^7m/s$

A charged wire of negligible thickness has length 2L units and has a linear charge density λ. Consider the electric field E-vect

Stels [109]

Answer:

$E=2K\lambda d\dfrac{L }{d^2\sqrt{L^2+d^2}}$

Explanation:

Given that

Length= 2L

Linear charge density=λ

Distance= d

K=1/(4πε)

The electric field at point P

$E=2K\int_{0}^{L}\dfrac{\lambda }{r^2}dx\ sin\theta$

$sin\theta =\dfrac{d}{\sqrt{d^2+x^2}}$

$r^2=d^2+x^2$

So

$E=2K\lambda d\int_{0}^{L}\dfrac{dx }{(x^2+d^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

Now by integrating above equation

$E=2K\lambda d\dfrac{L }{d^2\sqrt{L^2+d^2}}$

Two football players are pushing a 60 kg blocking sled across the field at a constant speed of 2.0 m/s. The coefficient of kinet

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The sled slides d=0.155 meters before rest.

Explanation:

m= 60 kg

V= 2 m/s

μ= 0.3

g= 9.8 m/s²

W= m * g

W= 588 N

Fr= μ* W

Fr= 176.4 N

∑F = m * a

a= (W+Fr)/m

a= 12.74m/s²

t= V/a

t= 0.156 s

d= V*t - a*t²/2

d= 0.155 m
