An athlete on a sled is moving with a speed of 3.0 m/s across a pond covered with ice. If the total mass of the sled-athlete sys

tem is 95.0 kg, what magnitude of the average force is required to bring the sled to rest in 15.0 s

Answer:

F = –19N

Explanation:

u = 3.0m/s = initial velocity, m = 95.0kg, v = 0m/s = final velocity of the sled because it comes to rest.

Δt = 15.0s.

The average force required to bring the sled to rest is equal to the change in momentum of the sled. From Newton's second law,

F = m(v-u)/Δt = 95×(0 – 3)/15 = –19N

F = –19N

The force is negative because it is against the direction of the initial motion or it is so because it is the force applied to bring sled to rest (to decelerate its motion)

Given Information:

Mass = m = 95 kg

Initial velocity = v₁ = 0 m/s

Final velocity = v₂ = 3 m/s

time = t = 15 seconds

Required Information:

magnitude of average force = ?

Answer:

magnitude of average force = 19 N

Explanation:

From the Newton's second law of motion

F = ma

From the kinematics equations,

v₂ = v₁ + at

at = v₂ - v₁

a = (v₂ - v₁)/t

a = (3 - 0)/15

a = 0.2 m/s²

F = 95*0.2

F = 19 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the average force required to bring the sled to rest is 19 N.

Hi everyone, I need help on the question: Why are humans the most dangerous creatures in the ocean
kozerog [31]

HUMAN ACTIVITIES ARE threatening the health of the world's oceans. More than 80 percent of marine pollution comes from land-based activities. From coral bleaching to sea level rise, entire marine ecosystems are rapidly changing.

Global warming is causing sea levels to rise, threatening coastal population centers. Many pesticides and nutrients used in agriculture end up in the coastal waters, resulting in oxygen depletion that kills marine plants and shellfish. Factories and industrial plants discharge sewage and other runoff into the oceans. Oil spills pollute the oceans, though U.S. water-sewage treatment plants discharge twice as much oil each year as tanker spills. Air pollution is responsible for almost one-third of the toxic contaminants and nutrients that enter coastal areas and oceans. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that 31.4 percent of fish stocks are either fished to capacity or over-fished.

A homeowner installs an electrical heated mirror into the shower room. When a person has a shower, the heated mirror does not go
galina1969 [7]
This is most likely because a heated mirror will evaporate any water condensation from the shower that tries to accumulate onto it.
