The brakes of a 125 kg sled are applied while it is moving at 8.1 m/s, which exerts a force of 261 N to slow the sled down. How

far does the sled travel while coming to a stop in meters? Round to one decimal place.

Answer:

15.7 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the sled = 125 kg

v₀ = initial speed of the sled = 8.1 m/s

v = final speed of sled = 0 m/s

F = force applied by the brakes in opposite direction of motion = 261

d = stopping distance for the sled

Using work-change in kinetic energy theorem

- F d = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

- (261) d = (0.5) (125) (0² - 8.1²)

d = 15.7 m

Based on what you learn about jovian moons by watching the videos or reading your textbook, what types of evidence for recent or

Valentin [98]

Answer:

b. craters, river valleys feeding into surface lakes of very cold liquids

Explanation:

Jovian moons are the four largest satellites like the moon of the Jupiter ie the Lo, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto and were first seen by the galileo. They are amiugly the largest moons with radii larger than the dwarf planet.

Lo has more than 400 active volcanoes and dotted more than 100 mountains and has an extremely thin atmosphere made up of sulfur dioxide. The Europa has deep oceans of liquid water, and the layer of ice, and are characteristic of the tidal heating.

<u>While the surface of Callisto is heavily cratered and has salty liquid water.</u>

An archer fires an arrow at a castle 230 m away. The arrow is in flight for 6 seconds, then hits the wall of the castle and stic

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

(a). The initial speed of the arrow is 49.96 m/s.

(b). The angle is 39.90°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Horizontal distance = 230 m

Time t = 6 sec

Vertical distance = 16 m

We need to calculate the horizontal component

Using formula of horizontal component

$R =u\cos\theta t$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{230}{6} = u\cos\theta$

$u\cos\theta=38.33$ .....(I)

We need to calculate the height

Using vertical component

$H=u\sin\theta t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value in the equation

$16 =u\sin\theta\times6-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times6^2$

$u\sin\theta=\dfrac{16+9.8\times18}{6}$

$u\sin\theta=32.06$ .....(II)

Dividing equation (II) and (I)

$\dfrac{u\sin\theta}{u\cos\theta}=\dfrac{32.06}{38.33}$

$\tan\theta=0.8364$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}0.8364$

$\theta=39.90^{\circ}$

(a). We need to calculate the initial speed

Using equation (I)

$u\cos\theta\times t=38.33$

Put the value into the formula

$u =\dfrac{230}{6\times\cos39.90}$

$u=49.96\ m/s$

(b). We have already calculate the angle.

Hence, (a). The initial speed of the arrow is 49.96 m/s.

(b). The angle is 39.90°.

A river flows due east at 12 km/h. A boat crosses the 720 m wide river by maintaining a constant velocity of 72 mi/h due north r

zhenek [66]

Answer:

The boat will be 74 .17 meters downstream by the time it reaches the shore.

Explanation:

Consider the vector diagrams for velocity and distance shown below.

converting 72 miles per hour to km/hr

we have 72 miles per hour 72 × 1.60934 = 115.83 km/hr

The velocity vectors form a right angled triangle, and can be solved using simple trigonometric laws

$tan \theta = \frac{12}{115.873}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}( \frac{12}{115.873})=5.9126$

This is the vector angle with which the ship drifts away with respect to its northward direction.

<em>From the sketch of the displacement vectors, we can use trigonometric ratios to determine the distance the boat moves downstream.</em>

Let x be the distance the boat moves downstream.d

$sin(5.9126)=\frac{x}{720}$

$x= 720\times 5.9126$

$x=74.17m$

∴The boat will be 74 .17 meters downstream by the time it reaches the shore.

A charge of 90 C passes through a wire in 1 hour 15 minutes . what is the current in the wire

timurjin [86]

We calculate current from the formula:
$I= \frac{q}{t}$ , where q is a electric charge transferred over time t
Time should be converted to seconds:
1h 15 min= 75min= 4500s
I= $\frac{90C}{4500s}=0,02A$ Result is in unit-Ampere
