Answer:

In a transverse wave the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the wave's direction of travel.

In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the wave's direction of travel.

7. Gwen exerts a 36 N horizontal force as she pulls a 52 N sled across a cement sidewalk at constant speed, what is the coeffici
Vika [28.1K]

By Ignoring air resistance, the coefficient of Kinetic friction between the sidewalk and the metal sled runners is 0.69

FRICTION

Friction is a force that opposes motion.

Given that Gwen exerts a 36 N horizontal force as she pulls a 52 N sled across a cement sidewalk at constant speed

  • At constant speed, acceleration a = 0
  • Force applied F = 36 N
  • The weight = Normal reaction N = 52

From Newton's law,

Sum of forces = ma

That is,

F - F_{r} = ma

Where F_{r}  = frictional force

F - F_{r}  = 0

F = F_{r}  = 36 N

F_{r}  = μN

Where μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

36 = μ x 52

μ = 36/52

μ = 0.69

Therefore, the coefficient of Kinetic friction between the sidewalk and the metal sled runners is 0.69 when we Ignore air resistance.

(Serway 9th ed., 9-3) At one instant, a 17.5-kg sled is moving over a horizontal surface of snow at 3.50 m/s. After 8.75 sec has
Scrat [10]

Answer:

F = 7 N

Explanation:

given,                                

mass of sled = 17.5 Kg                                    

speed of snow on horizontal surface = 3.5 m/s

time taken to stop = 8.75 s

initial momentum              

  = m U                              

 = 17.5 x 3.5 = 61.25 Kg.m/s

final momentum                        

final velocity = 0 m/s            

final momentum = 0                    

impulse = change in momentum

impulse = force x time    

equating both the formula of impluse    

F x t = 61.25 - 0

F x 8.75 = 61.25            

F = 7 N                                                

Force acting on the moving sled is equal to F = 7 N

In an experiment, the 1 kg cart collides with a 3 kg cart but doesn’t stick to it. Instead, the 3 kg cart gets knock forward by
notka56 [123]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the cart, m_1=1\ kg

Mass of the cart 2, m_2=3\ kg            

Final speed of cart 2, v_2=0.3\ m/s

Final speed of cart 1 is 0 as it comes to rest.

Let us assume that the initial velocity of the cart 2 is 0. So using the conservation of linear momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\\\m_1u_1+0=0+m_2v_2\\\\m_1u_1=m_2v_2\\\\u_1=\dfrac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\\u_1=\dfrac{3\times 0.3}{1}\\\\u_1=0.9\ m/s

So, the initial velocity of the 1.0-kg cart is 0.9 m/s.
