an ice skater applies a horizontal force to a 20.-kilogram block on frictionless, level ice, causing the block to accelerate uni

formly at 1.4 meters per second2 to the right. after the skater stops pushing the block, it slides onto a region of ice that is covered with a thin layer of sand. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the sand-covered ice is 0.28. calculate the magnitude of the force applied to the block by the skater. [show all work, including the equation and substitution with units.]

The only vertical forces are weight and normal force, and they balance since the surface is horizontal. The horizontal forces are the applied force (uppercase F) in the direction the block slides and the frictional force (lowercase f) in the opposite direction.

Apply Newton's 2nd Law in the horizontal direction:
ΣF = ma
F - f = ma
where f = µmg

F - µmg = ma
F = m(a +µg)
F = (20 kg)(1.4 m/s² + 0.28(9.8 m/s²)

F = 83 N

Why is it important for engineers to design bumper cars safely
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Cars have bumpers designed to protect the body of the car from minor damage during low-speed collisions. ... They will use the engineering design process to design and build bumpers to protect the main parts of their car from damage, and use their knowledge of Newton's third law to explain what they observe.

A 235.0 g metal block absorbs 2.44 × 103 J of heat to raise its temperature by 35 K. What is the specific heat of the metal? Sho
andrew-mc [135]
When an object absorbs an amount of energy equal to Q, its temperature raises by \Delta T following the formula
Q=m C_s \Delta T
where m is the mass of the object and C_s is the specific heat capacity of the material.

In our problem, we have Q=2.44 \cdot 10^3 J, m=235.0 g and \Delta T=35 K, so we can re-arrange the formula and substitute the numbers to find the specific heat capacity of the metal:
C_s =  \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}= \frac{2.44 \cdot 10^3 J}{(235.0 g)(35 K)}=0.297 J g^{-1} K^{-1}

A) It is very dry at the equator because it is so hot.
bixtya [17]

A) It is very dry at the equator because it is so hot.

False.  It depends on what else is around.

The Sahara Desert is near the Equator.

But so is the Amazon rain forest.

B) Higher places are usually warmer because they are closer to the Sun.

False.  Higher places are usually colder, because the air is thinner.

C) Land masses change the direction of currents.

True

D)The sun provides energy needed for the evaporation process. Gravity allows water droplets to fall as precipitation.

True
