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

Physics

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

Is charging by contact the same as charging by conduction?
netineya [11]

Answer:So, the difference between charging by induction and conduction comes down to the contact of the neutral object and the object used to charge it. Conduction requires direct contact, while induction does not.

If the wave represents a sound wave, explain how increasing amplitude will affect the loudness of the sound? If we decrease the
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Think of a sound wave like a wave on the ocean, or lake... It's not really water moving, as much as it's energy moving through the water. Ever see something floating on the water, and notice that it doesn't come in with the wave, but rides over the top and back down into the trough between them? Sound waves are very similar to that. If you looked at a subwoofer speaker being driven at say... 50 cycles a second, you'd actually be able to see the speaker cone moving back and forth. The more power you feed into the speaker, the more it moves back and forth, not more quickly, as that would be a higher frequency, but further in and further out, still at 50 cycles per second. Every time it pushed out, it's compressing the air in front of it... the compressed air moves away from the speaker's cone, but not as a breeze or wind, but as a wave through the air, similar to a wave on the ocean

More power, more amplitude, bigger "wave", louder ( to the human ear) sound.

If you had a big speaker ( subwoofer ) and ran a low frequency signal with enough power in it, you could hold a piece of paper in front of it, and see the piece of paper move in and out at exactly the same frequency as the speaker cone. The farther away from the speaker you got, the less it'd move as the energy of the sound wave dispersed through the room.

Sound is a wave

We hear because our eardrums resonates with this wave I.e. our ear drums will vibrate with the same frequency and amplitude. which is converted to an electrical signal and processed by our brain.

By increasing the amplitude our eardrums also vibrate with a higher amplitude which we experience as a louder sound.

Of course when this amplitude is too high the resulting resonance tears our eardrums so that they can't resonate with the sound wave I.e. we become deaf

At a place where an object is thrown vertically downward with a speed of while a different object is thrown vertically upward wi
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Both objects will undergo the same change in velocity

Explanation:

m = Mass of the Earth =  5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Earth = 6371000 m

m = Mass of object

Any object which is falling has only the acceleration due to gravity.

ma=\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{(6.371\times 10^6)^2}\\\Rightarrow a=9.81364\ m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.81364 m/s²

So, the speeds of the objects will change at an equal rate of 9.81364 m/s² but the change will be negative when an object is thrown up.

Hence, both objects will undergo the same change in velocity.
