A child (mass Me) pulls a sled (mass Ms) holding a baby (mass m) across the snow (assume the snow is frictionless). When the chi

ld starts the sled moving the baby brother slips off the sled instead of moving with the sled. The child tries again with a slightly smaller force and the baby stays on the sled due to the friction between the baby and the sled. Write a symbolic solution for the coefficient offriction between the baby and the sled if the maximum acceleration ofthe sled for the baby to stay on the sled is a. The solution may include the variables MC: Ms, m: a and g but does not need to have all ofthem_ The computer Ivill not recognize any other variables. Do not include any numbers (or the in your answer). Fill in the blank

Answer:

symbolic solution for the coefficient of friction between the baby and the sled is  

   \mu  =  \frac{m + M_s}{m}  *  \frac{a}{g}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  mass of the boy is  M_e  =

   The  mass of the shed is  M_s

    The mass of the baby is  m

    The  maximum acceleration for the baby to stay is  a

     

Generally the frictional  force between the baby and the shed is mathematically represented as

     F_f  =  \mu  N

Here  N is the normal force acting on the baby which is mathematically represented as

     N  =  m *  g

=>   F_f  =  \mu *  m *  g

Now for the baby not the slip off the shed the frictional  force between the baby and the shed must be equal to the the force applied by the child

The force applied by the child is mathematically represented as

    F  =  [M_s+m] * a

So

     \mu *  m *  g  =  [M_s+m] * a

=>    \mu  =  \frac{m + M_s}{m}  *  \frac{a}{g}

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

(C) Contact

Explanation:

Radiation Poisoning is a horrific disease that is transmitted in many ways. After a nuclear accident radiation is released into the atmosphere becoming airborne and affecting everyone that breathes it in. It is also transmitted in droplets from acid rainfall. Once the gamma radiation penetrates the body of a person it can contaminate other people by having skin to skin contact with the person that is contaminated. Therefore it can be prevented by having precaution of direct contact with anyone contaminated.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Assume that in 2010 the United States will need 2.0×1012 watts of electric power produced by thousands of 1000 MW power plants.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

1752.14 tonnes per year.

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to power consumption and power production.

By conservation of energy we know that:

\dot{P} = \bar{P}

Where,

\dot{P} = Production of Power

\bar{P} = Consumption of power

Where the production of power would be,

\dot{P} = m \dot{E}\eta

Where,

m = Total mass required

\dot{E} = Energy per Kilogram

\eta =Efficiency

The problem gives us the aforementioned values under a production efficiency of 45%, that is,

\dot{P} = \bar{P}

m \dot{E}\eta = \bar{P}

Replacing the values we have,

m(8*10^13)(0.45) = 2*10^{12}

Solving for m,

m = \frac{ 2*10^{12}}{(8*10^13)(0.45)}

m = 0.0556 \frac{kg}{s}

We have the mass in kilograms and the time in seconds, we need to transform this to tons per year, then,

m = 0.556\frac{kg}{s}*(\frac{3.1536*10^7s}{1year})(\frac{1ton}{1000kg})

m = 1752.14tonnes per year.

A mass suspended from a spring is oscillating up and down as indicated. Consider the following possibilities. A At some point du
dangina [55]

A mass suspended from a spring is oscillating up and down, (as stated but not indicated).

A). At some point during the oscillation the mass has zero velocity but its acceleration is non-zero (can be either positive or negative).  <em>Yes. </em> This statement is true at the top and bottom ends of the motion.

B). At some point during the oscillation the mass has zero velocity and zero acceleration.  No.  If the mass is bouncing, this is never true.  It only happens if the mass is hanging motionless on the spring.

C). At some point during the oscillation the mass has non-zero velocity (can be either positive or negative) but has zero acceleration.  <em>Yes.</em>  This is true as the bouncing mass passes through the "zero point" ... the point where the upward force of the stretched spring is equal to the weight of the mass.  At that instant, the vertical forces on the mass are balanced, and the net vertical force is zero ... so there's no acceleration at that instant, because (as Newton informed us), A = F/m .  

D). At all points during the oscillation the mass has non-zero velocity and has nonzero acceleration (either can be positive or negative).  No.  This can only happen if the mass is hanging lifeless from the spring.  If it's bouncing, then It has zero velocity at the top and bottom extremes ... where acceleration is maximum ... and maximum velocity at the center of the swing ... where acceleration is zero.
