<span>The frictional force is given by F = μmg

where μ is the coeficient of friction.

Work done by frictional force = Fd = μmgd

Kinetic energy "lost" = 1/2 mv² 

Since we know that W = ΔK,

so,  Fd = μmgd = 1/2 mv²

The m's cancel μgd = v² / 2

d = v² / 2μg

d =  4² / 2(0.46)(9.81)

d =  16 / 2(0.46)(9.81)

d =  1.77

Player slides 1.77 m .

You apply a net force on a soccer ball of 15 N. If the acceleration it has is 5 m/s2 what is the mass of the ball?​
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

<h2>3 kg </h2>

Explanation:

The mass of the ball can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

We have

m =  \frac{15}{5}  = 3 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>3 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

On a sky coaster (human pendulum) that reaches 10 meters from it's equilibrium position, a man of 120 kg is able to reach a maxi
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, assuming any losses.

Kinetic energy is given by ½mv²

Potential energy is given by mgh

Where m is the mass, v is the velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

Equating kinetic energy to be equal to potential energy then

½mv²=mgh

V

Making v the subject of the formula

v=√(2gh)

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g and 10 m for h then

v=√(2*9.81*10)=14.0071410359145 m/s

Rounding off, v is approximately 14 m/s

3. A 5 gm/100 ml solution of drug X is stored in a closed test tube
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The degradation of the drug is a first order process;

Hence;

ln[A] = ln[A]o - kt

Where;

ln[A] = final concentration of the drug

ln[A]o= initial concentration of the drug = 5 gm/100

k= degradation constant = 0.05 day-1

t= time taken

When [A] =[ A]o - 0.5[A]o = 0.5[A]o

ln2.5 = ln5 - 0.05t

ln2.5- ln5 = - 0.05t

t= ln2.5- ln5/-0.05

t= 0.9162 - 1.6094/-0.05

t= 14 days

b) when [A] = [A]o - 0.9[A]o = 0.1[A]o

ln0.5 = ln5 -0.05t

t= ln0.5 - ln5/0.05

t= -0.693 - 1.6094/-0.05

t= 46 days
