The force of friction = (weight) x (coefficient of friction)

Skier's weight = (mass) x (gravity) = (76.5) x (9.8) = 749.7 N

Force of friction = (749.7) x (coefficient of friction) = 60.0 N

Coefficient of friction = 60 / 749.7 = <u>0.08 </u> (rounded)

Choice-'A' is the closest choice offered.

bija089 [108]
Assuming that the angle is the same for both ropes, then D. is the answer.  You have to consider also if the ropes are close together or far apart and if the force to move the object is in line with the ropes or perpendicular to them.

Initial velocity 10 m/s accelerates at 5 m/s for 2 seconds whats the final velocity
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

<em>The final velocity is 20 m/s.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, and t the time, the final speed can be calculated as follows:

v_f=v_o+at

The provided data is: vo=10 m/s, a=5\ m/s^2, t=2 s. The final velocity is:

v_f=10~m/s+5\ m/s^2\cdot 2\ s

v_f=20\ m/s

The final velocity is 20 m/s.

A truck with 0.420-m-radius tires travels at 32.0 m/s. what is the angular velocity of the rotating tires in radians per second?
andrey2020 [161]

Angular velocity of the rotating tires can be calculated using the formula,

v=ω×r

Here, v is the velocity of the tires = 32 m/s

r is the radius of the tires= 0.42 m

ω is the angular velocity

Substituting the values we get,

32=ω×0.42

ω= 32/0.42 = 76.19 rad/s

= 76.19×\frac{1}{2\pi} *60 revolution per min

=728 rpm

Angular velocity of the rotating tires is 76.19 rad/s or 728 rpm.

A 38.2 kg wagon is towed up a hill inclined at 17.5 ◦ with respect to the horizontal. The tow rope is parallel to the incline an
Tema [17]

Answer:

v = 8.57 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the wagon is pulled up by string system

So the net force on the wagon along the inclined is due to tension in the rope and component of weight along the inclined plane

So as per work energy theorem we know that

work done by tension force + work done by force of gravity = change in kinetic energy

F_t . d - (mgsin\theta)(d) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0

so we have

F_t = 129 N

\theta = 17.5^o

m = 38.2 kg

d = 85.4 m

so now we have

129(85.4) - (38.2)9.8sin17.5 (85.4) = \frac{1}{2}(38.2) v^2

v = 8.57 m/s
