While water skiing behind her father’s boat, Letty is pulled at constant speed by a force of 164 N from the tow rope that makes
kap26 [50]

Answer:

0.265

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are four forces:

Normal force Fn pushing up.

Weight force mg pulling down.

Tension force T at an angle θ.

Friction force Fn μ pushing left.

Sum the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn + T sin θ − mg = 0

Fn = mg − T sin θ

Sum the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T cos θ − Fn μ = 0

Fn μ = T cos θ

μ = T cos θ / Fn

μ = T cos θ / (mg − T sin θ)

Given T = 164 N, θ = 10.0°, m = 65.0 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s²:

μ = (164 N cos 10.0°) / (65.0 kg × 9.8 m/s² − 164 N sin 10.0°)

μ = 0.265

Imagine a particular exoplanet covered in an ocean of liquid methane. At the surface of the ocean, the acceleration of gravity i
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure = 7 x 10⁴ Pa

force on  a disk-shaped region 2.00 m in radius at the surface of the ocean due to atmosphere  = pressure x area

= 7 x 10⁴ x 3.14 x 2 x 2

= 87.92 x 10⁴ N

b )

weight, on this exoplanet, of a 10.0 m deep cylindrical column of methane with radius 2.00 m

Pressure x area

height x density x acceleration of gravity x π r²

= 10 x 415 x 6.2 x 3.14 x 2 x 2

=323168.8 N

c ) Pressure at a depth of 10 m

atmospheric pressure + pressure due to liquid column

= 7 x 10⁴ + 10 x 415 x 6.2 ( hρg)

= 7 x 10⁴ + 10 x 415 x 6.2

(7 + 2.57 )x 10⁴ Pa

9.57 x 10⁴ Pa

What is the kinetic energy of a 1130 kg truck that is moving with a velocity of 40 m/s?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The answer is 904,000.

Kinetic energy=1/2mv^2.

1/2×1130×40^2.

1/2×1808000=904,000Joules.
