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 .

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 

Fd = μmgd = 1/2 mv² 

The m's cancel μgd = v² / 2 

d = v² / 2μg 

d = 8² / 2(0.41)(9.8) 

d = 32 / (0.41)(9.8) 

d = 7.96 

Player slides 8 m . 

Note. In your other example μ = 0.46 and v = 4 m/s 

d = v² / 2μg 

= 4² / 2(0.46)(9.8) 

= 8 / (0.46)(9.8) 

= 1.77 or 1.8 m.

Hope i Helped :D

Answer:

Frequency is $213.04\ s^{-1}.$

Explanation:

Distance between source 1 from the receiver , $S_1 =\sqrt{10^2+22^2}=24.17\ m.$

Distance between source 2 from the receiver , $S_2=\sqrt{5^2+22^2}=22.56\ m.$

Now ,

Path difference , $r = S_1-S_2=24.17-22.56=1.61\ m.$

We know, for constructive interference path difference should be integral multiple of wavelength .

Therefore, $r=n\times \lambda$

It is given that n = 1,

Therefore, $\lambda=1.61\ m.$

Frequency can be found by , $\nu=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}= \dfrac{343}{1.61}= 213.04\ s^{-1} .$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A plane is flying east when it drops some supplies to a designated target below. The supplies land after falling for 10 seconds.

Ivanshal [37]

Part 1)

here we know that supply took 10 s to reach the ground

so here we will have

$y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y = \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times 10^2$

$y = \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times 100$

$y = 490 m$

Part 2)

Here all the supply covered horizontal distance of 650 m in 10 s interval of time

so here we can say

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

$v = \frac{650}{10}$

$v = 65 m/s$

Answer:

Increasing the mass and decreasing the distance between the two objects.

Explanation:

An increase in mass will cause them to have a stronger pull or gravity. A decrease of distance will make it easier for the objects to fall into each other because they would be further into the other objects area of influence.

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 $m/s^2$ where as radial the component of acceleration is 8.77 $m/s^2$

Explanation:

As per the given data

u=π/4 rad

ω=u'=2 rad/s

α=u''=4 rad/s

$r=e^u$

So the transverse component of acceleration are given as

$a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\$

Here

$r=e^u\\r=e^{\pi/4}\\r=2.1932 m$

$r'=e^u.u'\\r'=2.1932 \times 2\\r'=4.3864 m$

$a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\a_{\theta}=(2.1932\times 4+2\times 4.3864 \times 2)\\a_{\theta}=26.32 m/s\\$

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 $m/s^2$

The radial component is given as

$a_r=r''-r\theta'^2$

Here

$r''=e^u.u'^2+e^u u''\\r''=2.1932 \times (2)^2+2.1932\times 4\\r''=17.5456 m$

$a_r=r''-ru'^2\\a_r=17.5456-2.1932\times (2)^2\\a_r=8.7728 m/s^2$

The radial component of acceleration is 8.77 $m/s^2$

A square is cut out of a copper sheet. Two straight scratches on the surface of the square intersect forming an angle theta. The

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

a) increases

Explanation:

Almost all substance or material undergoes expansion due to heating. Heat gives thermal energy to the molecules of a substance increasing their body temperature. The temperature of a substance is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of that substance. When the temperature of a substance increases, the molecules begin to agitate and try to move far from each other, leading to either a linear, area, or cubic expansion, or all three of them. Metals like copper expand very well on heating, and their expansion is relatively minute, but very observable. When the face of such a copper is scratched to give and angle, heating the copper uniformly will cause the copper to expand, leading to an increase in the angle formed.
