Answer:

2.6 m

Explanation:

From work energy theorem we deduce that

0.5mv^{2}=fd

The kinetic energy equals to the work dine against friction energy.

Where m represent mass, v is the velocity, f is the frictional force and d is unknown distance that the player slides.

Making d the subject of the formula then d=\frac {mv^{2}}{2f}

Then by substituting 450N for f, 65 kg for m and 6 m/s for v we obtain

d=\frac {65*6^{2}}{2*450}=2.6m

A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.24-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.01 cm and has a force
salantis [7]

Answer:

Speed will be equal to 1.40 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of the rubber ball m = 5.24 kg = 0.00524 kg

Spring is compressed by 5.01 cm

So x = 5.01 cm = 0.0501 m

Spring constant k = 8.08 N/m

Frictional force f = 0.031 N

Distance moved by ball d = 15.8 cm = 0.158 m

Energy gained by spring

KE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 8.08\times 0.0501^2=0.0101J

Energy lost due to friction

W=Fd=0.031\times 0.158=0.0048J

So remained energy to move the ball = 0.0101 - 0.0048 = 0.0052 J

This energy will be kinetic energy

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0.0052

\frac{1}{2}\times 0.00524\times v^2=0.0052

v = 1.40 m/sec

Considering this analogy (current = rate that heat flows through a window, and voltage = temperature difference across the windo
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Resistance R in a current flow through an object is given by

R= \frac{\rho L}{A}

ρ = resistivity of the material

L= length of the object

A=  area of cross section

clearly resistance is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.

thermal resistance R_th is given by

R_{th} = \frac{L}{KA}

L= length of the object

A=  area of cross section

K = Conductivity of the material

thermal resistance is also is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.

Recently, astronomers have observed stars and other objects that orbit the center of the Milky Way Galaxy farther out than our S
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

That scenario can be explained by the idea of the contribution of dark matter on that point.

Explanation:

It can be explained through the idea of dark matter, this one was born to explain why stars (or any object) that were farther for the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy didn't decrease it rotational velocity as it was expected according to equation 1.

v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r}}  (1)

Where v is the rotational velocity, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the supermassive black hole, and r is the orbital radius.

Notice, that If the distance increases the orbital speed decreases (inversely proportional).
