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

$F_f=(0.25)(636)=159 N$

What is the difference between an observation and an inference?

Vinvika [58]

Explanation:

observation is something what you could observe from your organs like eyes ears etc and also it is what you observed during an event for an experiment but inference is what you decide to do after observation or an event.

the act of inferring (to derive by reasoning). Observation = an act or instance of noticing or perceiving.

Thank u!

A chinook salmon needs to jump a waterfall that is 1.5 m high. If the fish starts from a distance of 1.00 m from the base of the

____ [38]

<span>let the fsh jump with initial velocity (u) in direction (angle p) with horizontal

it can cross and reach top of trajectory if its top height h = 1.5m
and horizontal distance d = (1/2) Range
--------------------------------------...
let t be top height time
at top height, vertical component of its velocity =0
vy = 0 = u sin p - gt
t = u sin p/g
h = [u sin p]*t - 0.5 g[t[^2
1.5 = u^2 sin^2 p/g - u^2 sin^2 p/2g
u^2 sin^2 p/2g = 1.5
u^2 sin^2 p = 1.5*2*9.8 = 29.4
u sin p = 5.42 m/s >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> V-component
=====================
t = HALF the time of flight
d = (1/2) Range (R) = (1/2) [2 u^2 sin p cos p/g]
1 = u^2 sin p cos p/g
u sin p * u cos p = 9.8
5.42 * u cos p = 9.8
u cos p = 1.81 m/s >>>>>>>>>>>>> H-component
check>>
u = sqrt[u^2 cos^2 p + u^2 sin^2 p] = 5.71 m/s
u < less than fish's potential jump speed 6.26 m/s

so it will able to cross</span>
