You pull your little sister across a flat snowy field on a sled. Your sister plus the sled have a mass of 22 kg. The rope is at

an angle of 40 degrees to the ground. As you pull with a force of 31 N, the sled travels a distance of 53 m. How much work do you do?

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of sled, m = 22 kg

Force of pull, F = 31 N

distance move, d = 53 m

Angle between force and distance, θ = 40°

The formula for the work done is

W = F x d x Cos θ

W = 31 x 53 x cos 40

W = 1258.6 J

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The minimum speed is 14.53 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

r = 11 m

Friction coefficient = 0.51

Suppose we need to find the minimum speed, that the cylinder must make a person move at to ensure they will stick to the wall

When frictional force becomes equal to or greater than the weight of person

Then, he sticks to the wall

We need to calculate the minimum speed

Using formula for speed

f_{s}=\mu N\geq mg

Where, N =\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

\mu\times\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\gep mg

v^2\geq\dfrac{gr}{\mu}

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.8\times11}{0.51}}

v=14.53\ m/s

Hence, The minimum speed is 14.53 m/s.

How does the law of conservation apply to Earth's Energy Budget?
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The balance between incoming energy from the sun and outgoing energy from Earth ultimately drives our climate. This energy balance is governed by the first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of conservation of energy.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

f_n=3.75N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Frictional force F=0.150N

Coefficient of kinetic friction \mu=0.04

Generally the equation for Normal for is mathematically given by

 f_n=\frac{F}{\mu}

Therefore

 f_n=\frac{0.150}{0.04}

 f_n=3.75N

You can comfortably hold your fingers close beside a candle flame, but not very close above the flame. why? challenge (optional)
Inessa05 [86]
The candle flame releases hot gases, which directly go in upwards directions. Due to which the air near the flame of the candle is very hot and dense. The particles along with vapour move up. And since the sideways, the air is not very dense and hot, we are able to hold the candle. In anti-gravity region, there will be no density differences and also, the convection process wont occur. So, the candle quickly snuffs off.
