Answer:

4.16m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newtons second law;

\sum Fx = ma_x\\Fm - Ff = ma_x\\W sin\theta - \mu R cos \theta = ma_x\\mg sin\theta - \mu mg cos\theta = ma_x\\

Fm is the moving force

\mu is  the coefficient of kinetic friction between the child and the slide

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

a is the acceleration of the child

Substitute the given values and get the acceleration as shown;

35(9.8)sin27.5 - 0.415(35)(cos27.5) = 35a

158.38-12.88 = 35a

145.49 = 35a

a = 145.49/35

a = 4.16m/s²

Hence the acceleration of the body is  4.16m/s²

3. A bicycle has a momentum of 25.00 kg* m/s and a velocity of 2.5 m/s . What is the bicycle's
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

10 kg

Explanation:

The question is most likely asking for the mass of the bicycle.

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. Mathematically:

p = m * v

Where p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

Hence, mass is:

m = p / v

From the question:

p = 25 kgm/s

v = 2.5 m/s

Mass is:

m = 25 / 2.5 = 10 kg

The mass of the bicycle is 10 kg.

In case the question requires the Kinetic energy of the bicycle, it can be gotten by using the formula

K. E = ½ * p * v

K. E. = ½ * 25 * 2.5 = 31.25 J

1. Is there a relationship between the volume of water displaced and the total volume of the block that has anything to do with
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The volume of the block is equal to the volume of water displaced by the block.

Explanation:

Volume refers to the amount of space occupied by a given object (in this case the block). When an object such as the block is immersed in water, it displaces its own volume of water. This volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the block. Hence we can write;

Final Volume of water - Initial Volume of water= Water Displaced = Volume of the block

Recall that the density of a body is given by;

Density= mass/volume

If we obtain the volume of the block by measuring the volume of water displaced by the block, then we weigh the block using a weighing balance, we can obtain the density of the block easily from the relationship shown above.

A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead weight is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.56

Explanation:

We know that

mass of water displaced by the wood is, m1( apparent mass when wood in air and lead is submerged in water) - m2(the apparent mass when wood and lead both are submerged in water)

= 0.0765 - 0.0452 = 0.0313 Kg

So the specific gravity of the wood is, = mass of wood / mass of water displaced by the wood

= 0.0175/0.0313

=0.56
