1 answer:
Answer:
<em>The force of kinetic friction between Kiera and the floor is 9.24 N</em>
Explanation:
<u>Friction Force</u>
When an object is moving and encounters friction in rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and/or velocity because the friction force opposes motion.
The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:
Where μ is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.
If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:
N = W
Thus, the friction force is:
Kiera, the W=330 N girl steps in water that has a coefficient of friction of μ=0.028 with the floor.
The kinetic friction force is:
Fr = 0.028*330
Fr = 9.24 N
The force of kinetic friction between Kiera and the floor is 9.24 N

1) The most potential energy is at position A
2) The most kinetic energy is at position C
Explanation:
1)
The gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position in a gravitational field, and it is given by the equation
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration of gravity
h is the height of the object relative to the ground
From the equation, we see that the potential energy is directly proportional to the heigth of the object: therefore, the roller coaster in this problem will have the most potential energy at its highest postion, so at position A.
2)
The total mechanical energy of the roller coaster at any point along the track is given by
where
PE is the potential energy
KE is the kinetic energy
Assuming there is no friction, the mechanical energy E is constant. This means that when PE increases, KE decreases, and when PE increases, KE decreases.
Therefore, the cart will have maximum kinetic energy when the potential energy is at minimum: and since the potential energy is directly proportional to the height of the track, this will occur at the lowest position, so at position C.
