Answer:

re believed to influence the Earth's magnetic field. ... As heat is transferred outward toward the mantle, the net trend is for the inner boundary of the liquid region to freeze, causing the solid inner core to grow

A sled is pulled at a constant velocity across a horizontal snow surface. If a force of 100 N is being applied to the sled rope

tangare [24]

Answer:

60.18 N

Explanation:

Given that:

The force applied on the sled = 100 N

Suppose, the angle between the sled rope and the ground = 53°

The horizontal force which acts in the horizontal direction can be expressed as:

$F_x = F \ cos \theta$

$F_x = 100 \ cos (53)$

$F_x = 60.18 \ N$

But if the angle between the sled rope is parallel to the ground. Then, we use an angle on a straight line which is = 180°

$F_x = F \ cos \theta$

$F_x = 100 \ cos (180)$

= 100 × -1

= -100 N

A hockey puck on a frozen pond is given an initial speed of 20.0 m/s. If the puck always remains on the ice and slides 115 m bef

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

μ_k = 0.1773

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial velocity;u = 20 m/s

Final velocity;v = 0 m/s (since it comes to rest)

Distance before coming to rest;s = 115 m

Let's find the acceleration using Newton's second law of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

Making a the subject, we have;

a = (v² - u²)/2s

Plugging relevant values;

a = (0² - 20²)/(2 × 115)

a = -400/230

a = -1.739 m/s²

From the question, the only force acting on the puck in the x direction is the force of friction. Since friction always opposes motion, we see that:

F_k = −ma - - - (1)

We also know that F_k is defined by;

F_k = μ_k•N

Where;

μ_k is coefficient of kinetic friction

N is normal force which is (mg)

Since gravity acts in the negative direction, the normal force will be positive.

Thus;

F_k = μ_k•mg - - - (2)

where g is acceleration due to gravity.

Thus,equating equation 1 and 2,we have;

−ma = μ_k•mg

m will cancel out to give;

-a = μ_k•g

μ_k = -a/g

g has a constant value of 9.81 m/s², so;

μ_k = - (-1.739/9.81)

μ_k = 0.1773

In this problem, you will answer several questions that will help you better understand the moment of inertia, its properties, a

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

a) Total mass form, density and axis of rotation location are True

b) I = m r²

Explanation:

a) The moment of inertia is the inertia of the rotational movement is defined as

I = ∫ r² dm

Where r is the distance from the pivot point and m the difference in body mass

In general, mass is expressed through density

ρ = m / V

dm = ρ dV

From these two equations we can see that the moment of inertia depends on mass, density and distance

Let's examine the statements, the moment of inertia depends on

- Linear speed False

- Acceleration angular False

- Total mass form True

- density True

- axis of rotation location True

b) we calculate the moment of inertia of a particle

For a particle the mass is at a point whereby the integral is immediate, where the moment of inertia is

I = m r²

Why do electric fish need to force electric charges to move?
