Answer:

a = -1.961\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, s = 16.318\,m, t = 4.079\,s

Explanation:

The equations of equilibrium for the rock are:

\Sigma F_{x} = -\mu_{k}\cdot N = m \cdot a

\Sigma F_{y} = N - m\cdot g = 0

After some algebraic handling, the following expression is found:

-\mu_{k}\cdot m \cdot g = m \cdot a

-\mu_{k}\cdot g = a

Deceleration experimented by the rock is:

a = - (0.2)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )

a = -1.961\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The distance travelled by the rock before stopping is:

s = \frac{(0\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(8\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (-1.961\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )}

s = 16.318\,m

And the time is:

t = \frac{0\,\frac{m}{s}-8\,\frac{m}{s}}{(-1.961\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )}

t = 4.079\,s

The question is incomplete! The complete question along with answers and explanation is provided below.

Question:

A 20.0-kg rock is sliding on a rough, horizontal surface at 8.00 m/s and eventually stops due to friction. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rock and the surface is 0.200

What average power is produced by friction as the rock stops?

GIven Information:

Mass of rock = m = 20 kg

Initial speed of rock = vi = 8 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction = μ = 0.200

Required Information:

Average power produced due to friction = ?

Answer:

Average power produced due to friction = 156.1 Watts

Explanation:

As we know the power is rate of doing work,

P = W/t

work-energy theorem relates work done and kinetic energy as

W = KE =  ½m(vf² - vi²

W = ½*20*(0 -8²)

W = -640 J

According to Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma

friction force is given by,

F = -μmg

relate the two equations

ma = -μmg

mass cancels out

a = -μg

a = -0.200*9.8

a = -1.96 m/s²

The negative sign indicates deceleration

From the kinematics equation

t = (vf - vi)/a

t = (0 - 8)/-1.96

t = -8/-1.96

t = 4.1 seconds

Therefore, the power produced to the friction is

P = 640/4.1

P = 156.1 Watts

A jogger runs by a river with a velocity of 7 m s relative to the ground. A leaf floating on the river moves with a velocity of
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger is 5 m/s.                    

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of jogger wrt to the ground, V_j=7\ m/s

velocity of leaf wrt the ground, v_i=2\ m/s

We need to find the velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger. Let it is equal to V. So, it is given by :

V=v_j-v_i\\\\V=7-2\\\\V=5\ m/s

So, the velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger is 5 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the cause of most waves and how can this change waves' characteristics?
Tanzania [10]

There are three main factors that affect wave formation: wind velocity, fetch, and duration.

Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest.

True or false as heat and pressure decreases one type of metamorphic rock will transform into another type
dezoksy [38]

Answer: True

Explanation:  Metamorphism is the changing of rocks by heat and pressure. During this process, rocks change either physically and/or chemically. They change so much that they become an entirely new rock. Figure 4.22: The platy layers in this large outcrop of metamorphic rock show the effects of pressure on rocks during metamorphism.
