Suppose a 48-N sled is resting on packed snow. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10. If a person weighing 660 N sits on t

he sled, what force is needed to pull the sled across the snow at constant speed?

Assume the snow is uniform, and horizontal.

Given:

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.10 = muK

weight of sled = 48 N

weight of rider = 660 N

normal force on of sled with rider = 48+660 N = 708 N = N

Force required to maintain a uniform speed

= coefficient of kinetic friction * normal force

= muK * N

= 0.10 * 708 N

=70.8 N


Note: it takes more than 70.8 N to start the sled in motion, because static friction is in general greater than kinetic friction.

The ground state energy of an oscillating electron is 1.23 eV. How much energy must be added to the electron to move it to the t
Vikki [24]

Answer:

  • The energy that must be added to the electron to move it to the third excited state is  -1.153 eV
  • The energy that must be added to the electron to move it to the fourth excited state is  -1.181 eV

Explanation:

Given;

Energy of electron in ground state (n = 1 ) = 1.23 eV

E₁ = 1.23 eV

Eₙ = E₁ /n²

where;

E₁ is the energy of the electron in ground state

n is the energy level,

For third excited state, n = 4

E₄ = E₁ /4²

E₄ = (1.23 eV) / 16

E₄ = 0.077 eV

Change in energy level, = E₄ - E₁ = 0.077 eV - 1.23 eV = -1.153 eV

The energy that must be added to the electron to move it to the third excited state is  -1.153 eV

For fourth excited state, n = 5

E₅ = E₁ /5²

E₄ = (1.23 eV) / 25

E₄ = 0.049 eV

Change in energy level, = E₅ - E₁ = 0.049 eV - 1.23 eV = -1.181 eV

The energy that must be added to the electron to move it to the fourth excited state is  -1.181 eV

A billiard ball moving at 0.5 m/s strikes another identical billiard ball, which is at rest, in an elastic head-on collision on
NikAS [45]

Answer: assuming that the billiard balls are of identical weight the impacted billiard ball will move forward at around 0.5m/s (not considering energy conservation). The ball impacting the 2nd one would stop because most of its Kinetic energy would have been transferred into the not moving ball.

Explanation: hope this helps!

Calculate the speed of a bike rider who accelerates (from rest) for 5 seconds down a hill at an acceleration of 8
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

speed=abs(v)=40ms^-1

Explanation:

acceleration, a = (v-u)/t

since initial velocity u=0 (at rest) and a=8ms^-2,

8=v/5

hence after 5 seconds, v=40ms^-1
