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

1. How would you expect an instantaneous acceleration vs. time graph to look for a cart moving with a constant
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

a=0   v = v₀ + a t

a=0    line is horizontal

Explanation:

1, In a graph of acceleration vs. time, we have lines, when the line is horizontal it is zero, when the line has a positive slope the increasing accelerations and when the slope is negative the decreasing acceleration

2, speed and relationship of a car is given by

        v = v₀ + a t

where vo is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and tel time

in this case I will calcograph velocity vs. time the constant acceleration is a straight line.

In general from the graph we can find the initial velocity with the cut at that x and the acceleration of the car with the slope

Which of the following are true (choose all that apply)? Sound can travel through a vacuum. -Sound can travel through water. Lig
Lunna [17]

Answer:

option (A) - false

option (B) - true

option (C) - true

option (D) - true

option (E) - true

option (F) - true

Explanation:

The sound waves are mechanical waves that means they need a medium to travel.

The light waves are non mechanical waves it means they do not need a medium to travel.

Sound cannot travel trough vacuum.

Sound can travel through air and water.

Light can travel trough vacuum and in air and in water.

Zarrin [17]

The distance from the horizontal top surface of the cube to the water level is "6.282 cm".

<h3>What is Archimedes' principle?</h3>

According to Archimedes' principle, the weight of the fluid that the body displaces is equal to the upward buoyant force that is applied to a body submerged in a fluid, whether fully or partially. The Archimedes' principle is a fundamental physical law in fluid mechanics. It was created by Syracuse's Archimedes.

According to Archimedes' principle, a body submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force proportional to the weight of the fluid that has been displaced. One of the prerequisites for equilibrium is this. We believe that the buoyancy force, also known as the centre of buoyancy, is situated in the middle of the submerged hull.

From Archimedes' principle, we get

\rightarrow L^3 \rho_{\text {Wood }} &=L^2 d \rho_{\text {Water }} \\

d &=L \frac{\rho_{\text {Waat }}}{\rho_{\text {Water }}} \\

&=18 \times \frac{651}{1000} \\

=11.72cm

So,

The distance from horizontal top to the water level will be:

=18-11.72

=6.282cm
