A dog (mass 12.3 kg) sits on a sled (mass 5.1 kg) that is being pushed with a force of 33 N on a flat snowy surface. If the acce

leration of both is 1.5 m/s2, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction for the sled sliding on the snow?

First, you need to calculate the resultant force:
R = m · a
   = (12.3 + 5.1) · 1.5
   = 26.1 N

Then, you can calculate the force of friction:
R = F - Fₐ
Fₐ = F - R
    = 33 - 26.1
    = 6.9 N

Now, we know that:
Fₐ = μ·m·g
Therefore we can solve for μ:

μ = <span>Fₐ/mg
   = 6.9 / (17.4 · 9.8)
   = 0.40 

The coefficient of dynamic friction is </span>μ = <span>0.40
</span>

If Noah runs three laps around a 200 meter track in two minutes, what is the average speed of Noah in m/s?
devlian [24]
• 3 laps of 200 meter track = 600 meters
• 600 meters ran in 2 minutes
• 2 minutes = 120 seconds
• 600 meters / 120 seconds = 5 m/s on average

What is linear speed called when something moves in a circle
Dmitry [639]

Answer: Tangential Velocity

The tangential velocity V is defined as the angular velocity \omega by the radius r of circular motion. As shown below:

V=\omega. r

Its name is due to the fact that this linear velocity vector is always tangent to the trajectory and is the distance traveled by a body or object in a circular movement in a period of time.

Sitting in a second-story apartment, a physicist notices a ball moving straight upward just outside her window. The ball is visi
gregori [183]

Answer:

1.013 s

Explanation:

You  can solve this problem using the equations for constant acceleration motion. The velocity at the bottom of the window can be found using this expression:

(x-x_o) = \frac{1}{2} at^2 + v_ot = -\frac{1}{2}gt^2 + v_ot

the gravity is negative as it opposes the movement.

(x-x_o) = -\frac{1}{2}gt^2 + v_ot\\v_o = \frac{(x-x_o)+\frac{1}{2}gt^2}{t} = \frac{1.19m+\frac{1}{2} 9.81m/s^2(0.2s)^2}{0.2s} = 6.931 m/s

Now, the time elapsed before the ball reappears is 2 times the time that it takes for the ball to go from the bottom of the window, reach maximum height, and reach again the bottom of the window, minus 2 times the time that it takes for the ball to travel from the top to the bottom of the window. The time that takes to the ball to reach maximum height, or in other words, to time that takes for the velocity of the ball to go from vo to 0m/s:

t_1 = \frac{0m/s - v_o}{g}  = \frac{-6.931 m/s}{-9.81m/s^2} = 0.706 s

Then:

t = 2t_1 - 2*0.2s = 2*(0.706s) - 0.4s = 1.013 s
