Answer: Start at the top of the hill.

Explanation:

The options include:

a. Start at the bottom of the hill.

b. Start at the top of the hill.

c. Start in the middle of the hill.

Sled racing is simply a winter dog sport racing. Since Robb wants to win the next sled race, the advice that'll be given to him is that he should start at the top of the hill.

Other options such as starting at the bottom of the hill or the middle of the hill are wrong.

A ball is thrown forward at 5 m/s how would the path of the ball differ on earth than on the moon
Levart [38]
In this problem, we are given that a ball is thrown upward and that it has an initial velocity of 5 m/s. Its path both on Earth and on the moon will be trajectory in nature. This is because while its horizontal velocity is maintained, its vertical velocity increases.

On the ride "spindletop" at the amusement park six flags over texas, people stood against the inner wall of a hollow vertical cy
Anastasy [175]

a) In this case the forces are the centrifugal force Fcp, which is directed horizontally toward the wall; the force of static friction Ff with the wall, directed upward; the normal force Fn by the wall, which is directed away the wall; the force of gravity Fg, directed downwards. Then we have that the horizontal forces are all equal in magnitude; similarly the vertical forces are also all equal in magnitude.

 

b) The minimum coefficient s occurs when force of gravity is equals the max friction force, that is

Fg = Ff,max

m g = s Fn

 

Also, the normal force has equal magnitude to the centrifugal force:

m g = s Fcp

m g = s m w^2 r

g = s w^2 r

s = g / (r w^2)

 

With values: g = 9.81 m/s^2; r = 2.5 m; and w = 2pi * 0.60 = 3.77 rad/s; we find

 

s = 9.81 / (2.5 * 3.77^2) = 0.276

J. Ram travels 50 m on a straight road in 30 s. Hari covers the same distance
ira [324]

Explanation:

Explanation:

In the given question, there are two conditions.

Ram traveled 50 m in 30 seconds in a straight road.

Hari covers the same distance in the road; that means 50 m in 45 seconds

The formula for work w=\frac{d}{t}w=td

Ram's work w=\frac{50}{30}=1.66666w=3050=1.66666

Hari's work w=\frac{50}{45}=1.111w=4550=1.111

Ram is slower than Hari and the velocity of Ram is slower than Hari.

Ram has done less work than Hari.

Hence, Hari has done more work and he has more power than Ram.

A rectangular air mattress is 2.0 m long, 0.50 m wide, and0.08
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

78kg

Explanation:

Let water density \rho = 1000 kg/m^3. We can calculate the buoyant force generated by water displaced by the air mattress from the volume of the mattress:

V = l*w*t = 2*0.5*0.08 = 0.08 m^3

where l, w, t are the length, width and thickness of the mattress, respectively.

Let g = 10 m/s2. The buoyant force is then:

F_b = g*V\rho = 0.08 * 1000 * 10 = 800N

Let g = 10 m/s2. The gravity force acting on the mattress is

F_g = mg = 2*10 = 20 N

So the mattress can still support an additional gravity of 800 - 20 = 780N or 78kg
