A girl is sitting in a sled sliding horizontally along some snow (there is friction present).

Physics
1 answer:
Mariulka [41]3 years ago

Answer:

159 N

Explanation:

There are two types of force of friction:

- Static friction: this is the force of friction that occurs when the object is at rest

- Kinetic friction: this is the force of friction that occurs when the object is in motion

In this problem, the girl is sitting on the sled, and the sled is sliding: this means that the object is in motion, therefore the force of friction that we have to calculate in this problem is the force of kinetic friction.

The force of kinetic friction acting on an object sliding over a flat surface is given by

F_f = \mu_k N

where

\mu_k is the coefficient of kinetic friction

N is the normal force on the object

In this problem:

\mu_k = 0.25

N = 636 N

Therefore, the force of kinetic friction is

F_f=(0.25)(636)=159 N

A 10.0g piece of copper wire, sitting in the sun reaches a temperature of 80.0 C. how many Joules are released when the copper c
Zolol [24]

Answer:

150.8 J

Explanation:

The heat released by the copper wire is given by:

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where:

m = 10.0 g is the mass of the wire

Cs = 0.377 j/(g.C) is the specific heat capacity of copper

\Delta T=40.0 C - 80.0 C=-40.0 C is the change in temperature of the wire

Substituting into the equation, we find

Q=(10.0 g)(0.377 J/gC)(-40.0^{\circ})=-150.8 J

And the sign is negative because the heat is released by the wire.

When reading the printout from a laser printer, you are actually looking at an array of tiny dots.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

The value is y  = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the pupil is d_p  =  4.2 \ mm  =  4.2 *10^{-3} \  m

The distance of the page from the eye d =  29 \  cm  =  0.29 \  m

The wavelength is \lambda  =  500 \ nm =  500 *10^{-9} \  m

The refractive index is n_r =  1.36

Generally the minimum separation of adjacent dots that can be resolved is mathematically represented as

y  = [ \frac{1.22 *  \lambda }{d_p * n_r } ]* d

         y  = [ \frac{1.22 *  500 *10^{-9} }{4.2 *10^{-3} * 1.36} ]* 0.29

         y  = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \  m
