A sled of mass m is being pulled horizontally by a constant horizontal force of magnitude F. The coefficient of kinetic friction

is mu_k. During time interval t, the sled moves a distance s, starting from rest.Find the average velocity vavg of the sled during that time interval.Express your answer in terms of the given quantities and, if necessary, appropriate constants. You may or may not use all of the given quantities.

Answer:

The average velocity of the sled is vavg = s/t.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average velocity is calculated as the traveled distance over time:

vavg = Δx/Δt

Where:

vavg = average velocity.

Δx = traveled distance.

Δt = elapsed time.

We already know the traveled distance (s) and also know the time it takes the sled to travel that distance (t). Then, the average velocity can be calculated as follows:

vavg = s/t

The total electrostatic force on charge A is 28 \mu N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

Here we have three positively charged particles A,B and C, located at the following positions:

x_A = 0\\x_B = 10 m\\x_C = 20 m

The magnitudes of the three charges are:

q_A = q_B = q_C = 0.5 \mu C = 0.5\cdot 10^{-6}C

The force exerted by B on A is to the left (because the force between two positive charges is repulsive), and the force exerted by C on A is also to the left (also repulsive). Therefore, the net force on A is just the sum of the two forces exerted by charges B and C:

F_A = F_{BA} + F_{CA} = k\frac{q_B q_A}{(x_B-x_A)^2}+k\frac{q_C q_A}{(x_C-x_A)^2}=\\=(8.99\cdot 10^9) \frac{(0.5\cdot 10^{-6})^2}{(10)^2}+(8.99\cdot 10^9) \frac{(0.5\cdot 10^{-6})^2}{(20)^2}=2.8\cdot 10^{-5} N = 28 \mu N

Why is physics important to everyone? Describe 5 applications of physics in everyday life.
Sedaia [141]

1. Communication

   In early ages people were using letters to communicate between them. Now days instantly we can call one person from anywhere, these are based on optical fiber communication and it is an application of physics.

2. Transportation

  We can travel from place to anther place by aeroplane , these technologies are introduced after advancement in physics.

3. Construction

 Earlier people used to stay in small houses, now days apartments with many number of storeys are built by considering all the forces coming on the structure.

4. Medical Department

 The invention of many equipment increased the health of humans.

5. Weather forecasting

 The prediction of weather considering all the available factors, prediction of natural disasters all are application of physics.

Is work done when falling towards earth while skydiving???
GuDViN [60]
You betcha !

-- Work is done whenever a force acts through a distance.

-- The skydiver has weight.  That's the force acting on him.

-- As time goes on, I'm assuming that he falls from one height
to a lower height.  That's the distance the force acts through.

-- The work done on him is  (force) times (distance)

                                           (his weight) x (distance he falls).

So where is the machine that does all this work ?

-- It's GRAVITY that does the work on him as he falls.

So how did he get all this energy in the first place ?
Where did it come from ?

-- From the airplane that lifted him up to height from which he jumped !

Understand how to apply the equations for 1-dimensional motion to the y and x directions separately in order to derive standard
dexar [7]

Answer:

the equations of motion can be separated into an equation that depends on a single variable.

Explanation:

he one-dimensional kinematics equations can be applied to two-dimensional systems because we can write the equations in such a way that each one of them depends on variables in a single dimension plus time, which, because it is a scalar, can be used in all dimensions.

A mathematical way of saying this is that the equations of motion can be separated into an equation that depends on a single variable.
