Kieran takes off from rest down a 50 m high, 10° slope on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 280 N parallel to the

surface of the slope. The combined mass of skis and Kieran is 50 kg (the fuel mass is negligible). Kieran's speed at the bottom is 40 m/s. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction of his skis on snow?

Answer:0.46

Explanation:

Given

Initial height h=50 m

inclination \theta =10^{\circ}

Thrust=280 N

combined mass of kieran and skis m=50 kg

Speed at the bottom v=40 m/s

From Work Energy Theorem

Work done by all the force is equal to change in kinetic Energy

W_{gravity}+W_{friction}+W_{thrust}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2-0------------1

distance traveled along the slope x=\frac{50}{\sin 10}=287.93 m

W_{gravity}=mgh=50\times 9.8\times 50=24500 J

W_{thrust}=F\times x=280\times 287.93=80,620.4 J

W_{friction}=-\mu mg\cos 10

substitute in 1

24,500+80,620.4+W_{friction}=\frac{1}{2}\times 50\times 1600

W_{friction}=40,000-24,500-80,620.4

-\mu \cdot 50\times 9.8\times 287.93=-65,120.4

\mu =\frac{65,120.4}{141,085.7}=0.46

If the two particles that make up the dipole are 2.5 mm apart, what is the magnitude of the charge on each particle
ad-work [718]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The electric force due to a uniform external electric field causes a torque of magnitude 20.0 × 10⁻⁹ N⋅m on an electric dipole oriented at 30° from the direction of the external field. The dipole moment of the dipole is 7.5 × 10⁻¹² C⋅m.

What is the magnitude of the external electric field?

If the two particles that make up the dipole are 2.5 mm apart, what is the magnitude of the charge on each particle?

Answer:

- the magnitude of the external electric field is 5333.3 N/C

- the magnitude of the charge on each particle is 3.0 × 10⁻¹² C  ≈ 3 nC

Explanation:

Given that;

Torque = 20.0 × 10⁻⁹ N⋅m

dipole moment = 7.5 × 10⁻¹²

∅ = 30°

The moment T of restoring couple is;

T = PEsin∅

E = T/Psin∅

we substitute

E = 20.0 × 10⁻⁹ N⋅m / (7.5 × 10⁻¹²) sin(30°)

E = 20.0 × 10⁻⁹ / 3.75 × 10⁻¹²

E =  5333.3 N/C

Therefore, the magnitude of the external electric field is 5333.3 N/C

The dipole moment is given by the expression;

p = ql

q = p / l

given that l = 2.5 mm = 0.0025 m

we substitute

q = 7.5 × 10⁻¹² / 0.0025

q = 3.0 × 10⁻¹² C ≈ 3 nC

Therefore, the magnitude of the charge on each particle is 3.0 × 10⁻¹² C ≈ 3 nC

Why are bathroom tiles usually rough
Aleks04 [339]
-- Bathroom tiles are usually cool, so water condenses on them
when you take a hot bath or shower in the room. 

-- The natural result is that a smooth tile would become slippery,
exactly when you're walking around with wet feet and nothing on them ...
a dangerous situation.

-- In order to circumvent this safety hazard, the tiles in the bathroom
should be rough, especially on the floor.

Technician a says heat transfer is always hot to cold. technician b says high pressure always flows to low pressure. who is corr
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Both the technician are correct.

All the driving force in the universe always flow from the higher body to lower body, until unless acted by external forces. Which means heat always flow from a hotter body to colder body, high pressure always flow to low pressure.

Therefore the both the technician are correct.
