Answer:

a) 4.98m/s²

b) 481.66N

Explanation:

a) Using the Newtons second law of motion

$\sum F_x = ma_x\\F_m - F_f = ma_x\\Wsin \theta - F_f = ma_x\\mgsin \theta - F_f = ma_x\\$

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Fm is the moving force acting along the plane

Ff is the frictional force opposing the moving froce

a is the acceleration of the skier

Given

m = 60kg

g = 9.8m/s²

$\theta$ = 35°

Ff = 38.5N

Required

acceleration of the skier a

Substituting into the formula;

$60(9.8)sin 35^0 - 38.5 = 60a\\588sin35^0 - 38.5 = 60a\\337.26 - 38.5 = 60a\\298.76 = 60a\\a = 298.76/60\\a = 4.98m/s^2\\$

Hence the acceleration of the skier is 4.98m/s²

b) The normal force on the skier is expressed as;

N = Wcosθ

N = mgcosθ

N = 60(9.8)cos 35°

N = 588cos 35°

N = 481.66N

Hence the normal force on the skier is 481.66N

Three resistors connected in series have potential differences across them labeled /\V1 , /\V2 , and /\V3. What expresses the po

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

$\Delta V=\Delta V_1+\Delta V_2+\Delta V_3$

Explanation:

We are given that three resistors R1, R2 and R3 are connected in series.

Let

Potential difference across $R_1=\Delta V_1$

Potential difference across $R_2=\Delta V_2$

Potential difference across $R_3=\Delta V_3$

We know that in series combination

Potential difference , $V=V_1+V_2+V_3$

Using the formula

$\Delta V=\Delta V_1+\Delta V_2+\Delta V_3$

Hence, this is required expression for potential difference.

A man 6.00 ft tall approaches a street light 15.0 ft above the ground at the rate of 4.00 ft/s. How fast is the end of the man

klio [65]

Answer:

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 10 ft/s$

Explanation:

As per given figure let say the tip of the shadow is at distance "x" from the base of the lamp

so here we have

$\frac{x}{15} = \frac{x - y}{6}$

so we have

$6x = 15 x - 15 y$

$15 y = 9 x$

now we have

$5\frac{dy}{dt} = 2\frac{dx}{dt}$

$5(4) = 2\frac{dx}{dt}$

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 10 ft/s$

Fused quartz possesses an exceptionally low coefficient of linear expansion, 5.50 × 10 − 7 ( ∘ C ) − 1 . Suppose a bar of fused

kozerog [31]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to thermal expansion in a body for which the initial length, the coefficient of thermal expansion and the temperature change are related:

$\Delta L = L0\alpha\Delta T$

Where,

$\Delta L$ = Change in Length

$\alpha$ = Coefficient of linear expansion

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature

$L_0$ = Initial Length

Our values are:

$L_0 = 3.45m$

$\alpha = 5.5*10^{-7} \°C^{-1}$

$\Delta T = 235-20 = 215\°C$

Replacing we have,

$\Delta L = (3.49) (5.5*10^{-7}) [(215)$

$\Delta L = 0.0004126m$

$\Delta L = 0.4126mm$

Therefore the change in milimiters was 0.4126mm
