A 40 kg girl and an 8.4 kg sled are on the surface of a frozen lake, 15 m apart. By means of a rope, the girl exerts a 5.2 N for

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

(a) $a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}$

(b) $a_s=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

(a) According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force exerted on it and inversely proportional to it's mass.

$a_s=\frac{F}{m_s}\\a_s=\frac{5.2N}{8.4kg}\\a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}$

(b) According to Newton's third law, the force that the sled exerts on the girl is equal in magnitude but opposite in the direction of the force that the girl exerts on the sled:

$a_g=\frac{F}{m_g}\\a_g=\frac{5.2N}{40kg}\\a_g=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}$

$x_f=x_0+v_0t \pm \frac{at^2}{2}$

For the girl, we have $x_0=0$ and $v_0=0$ . So:

$x_f_g=\frac{a_gt^2}{2}(1)$

For the sled, we have $v_0=0$ . So:

$x_f_s=x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}(2)$

When they meet, the final positions are the same. So, equaling (1) and (2) and solving for t:

$x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}=\frac{a_st^2}{2}\\t^2(a_g+a_s)=2x_0_s\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2x_s_0}{a_g+a_s}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(15m)}{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}+0.62\frac{m}{s^2}}}\\t=6.32s$

Now, we solve (1) for $x_f_g$

$x_f_g=\frac{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}(6.32s)^2}{2}\\x_f_g=2.6m\\x_f=2.6m$

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain why the needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north.

Alex17521 [72]

The needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north because of the magnetic poles of earth. the compass is essentially a magnet itself, so the southern pole of the compass is attracted to the northern pole of earth.
