Answer:

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.

distance d = 5.0 m

Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s

Final speed v = 5.8 m/s

The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;

d = 0.5(u+v)t

time t = 2d/(u+v)

Substituting the given values;

t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)

t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;

acceleration a = ∆v/t

a = (v-u)/t

Substituting the values;

a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667

a = -5.099974500127

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The weight of the landing craft in the vicinity of Callisto's surface is 3480 N.

Explanation:

The engine of the craft provides an upward thrust of 3480 N so that the space craft descends at a constant speed.

This implies that the net force on the space craft is zero.

The upward thrust will be equal to the downward gravitational pull by Callisto.

So the weight of the craft near the vicinity will be 3480 N.

An emf is induced in response to a change in magnetic field inside a loop of wire. Which of the following changes would increase
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

changing the magnetic field more rapidly

Explanation:

According to Faraday's law, whenever there is a change in the magnetic lines of force, it leads the production of induced emf. The magnitude of induced emf is proportional to to the rate of change of flux.

Hence if the magnetic field inside a loop of wire is changed rapidly, the magnitude of induced emf increases in accordance with Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction stated above when the magnetic field is changed more rapidly, hence the answer.
