A 26-kg sled is on a snow-covered slope. The coefficients of friction between the sled’s runners and the snow are µs = 0.096 and µ

k = 0.072. What pulling force must be exerted on the sled as pictured in order to (a) start the sled sliding and (b) continue to slide the sled at constant velocity?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of sled =26 kg

coefficient of static friction \mu _s=0.096

coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.072

In order to move sled from rest we need to provide a force greater than static friction which is given by

f_s=\mu mg=0.096\times 26\times 9.8=24.46 N

After Moving Sled kinetic friction comes in to play which is less than static friction

f_k=\mu _kmg=0.072\times 26\times 9.8=18.34 N

therefore minimum force to keep moving sledge at constant velocity is 18.34 N

Force exerted by the bullet = mass * acceleration = 0.013 * 850 = 11.05 Newtons.

the rifle exerts same force in opposite direction so we have

acceleration = 11.05 / 3.5 =  3.16 m /s^-2

Explain how waves, energy, and matter are related
Stels [109]

Answer:

Mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy while electromagnetic waves do not. ... Waves change direction when they move from one material into another (matter) through the process of refraction. The wave will change direction when the speed of the wave changes.

How do i figure out this question?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

0.75 g/cm^3

Explanation:

The formula for density:

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

Where m is the mass and V is the volume.

So, we can substitute values for m and V:

\rho = \frac{277}{370}\approx0.75

Therefore, the density is 0.75 g/cm^3 (watch the units!)

The spring is unstretched at the position x = 0. under the action of a force p, the cart moves from the initial position x1 = -8

<span>http://d2vlcm61l7u1fs.cloudfront.net/media%2Fdd5%2Fdd5b98eb-b147-41c4-b2c8-ab75a78baf37%2FphpEgdSbC....
</span>
Solution:
(a) The work done by the spring is given by
W= \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2 &#10;
where k is the elastic constant of the spring and \Delta x is the stretch between the initial and final position. Since x1=-8 in=-0.203 m and x2=5 in=0.127 m, we have
W= \frac{1}{2} \cdot 500 N/m \cdot (0.127m-(-0.203m))^2=27.25 J

(b) The work done by the weight is the product of the component of the weight parallel to the inclined plane and the displacement of the cart:
W_W = -F_{//} (x_2 -x_1)
where  the negative sign is given by the fact that F_{//} points in the opposite direction of the displacement of the cart, and where
F_{//}=m g sin 15^{\circ}=6 kg \cdot 9.81m/s^2 \cdot sin 15^{\circ}=15.2 N
therefore, the work done by the weight is
W_W=-15.2 N \cdot (0.203m-(-0.127m))=-5.02 J

A string that is 3.6 m long is tied between two posts and plucked. The string produces a wave that has a frequency of 320 Hz and
marin [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength depending on the frequency and speed. Mathematically, the wavelength can be expressed as

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Where,

v = Velocity

f = Frequency,

Our values are given as

L = 3.6m

v= 192m/s

f= 320Hz

Replacing we have that

\lambda = \frac{192}{320}

\lambda = 0.6m

The total number of 'wavelengths' that will be in the string will be subject to the total length over the size of each of these undulations, that is,

N = \frac{L}{\lambda}

N = \frac{3.6}{0.6}

N = 6

Therefore the number of wavelengths of the wave fit on the string is 6.
