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

A basketball player can leap upward 0.43 m. how long does he remain in the air? use an acceleration due to gravity of 9.80 m/s2
MArishka [77]
From the equations of linear motion,
v² = u² + 2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and a is the gravitational acceleration, and s is the displacement,
Thus, v² = u² -2gs, but v=0
hence, u² = 2gs
                = 2×9.81×0.43
                = 8.4366
            u = √8.4366
               =2.905 m/s
Hence the initial velocity is 2.905 m/s
 Then using the equation v= u +gt .
Therefore, v = u -gt. (-g because the player is jumping against the gravity)
but, v = 0
Thus, u= gt
Hence, t = u/g
              = 2.905/9.81
              = 0.296 seconds

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Orbital Time Period is 24 years

Explanation:

This can be explained by the definition of time period.

Time period can be defined as the time taken by an object to complete one cycle, here, time taken to complete one revolution.

Also, we know that an extra solar planet which is also called as an exo planet is that planet which is outside our solar system and orbits any star other than our sun. The system in consideration is extra solar system with a single planet.

Therefore, the time taken by the parent star to move about its mass center is the orbital time period that is 24 years.

If you touch the two terminals of a power supply with your two fingertips on opposite hands, the potential difference will produ
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Yes the body will receive a dangerous shock in both cases.

Explanation:

Different parts of the body has different resistance. skin has the high resistance as compared to other organs of the body.

Dry skin has high resistance than wet skin this is because water is relatively good conductor of electricity, it adds parallel path to the current flow and hence reduces skin resistance.

Dry hands body has approximately 500 kΩ resistance and if 120 V electricity supply current received will be:

I = V/R= 120/ 500*10^3

I= 0.24 mA

Even the current seems is much lower than the safe zone but this is the case in case of DC voltage in case of AC voltage the body will receive a shock this is because the skin pass more current when the voltage is changing i.e. AC.

Similarly for wet hands body resistance is 1 kΩ. so the current through the body seems to be:

I = 120 / 1000

I = 12 mA

The current is higher than safe zone so the body will receive a dangerous shock.

Which of these is most likely consequence of failing petroleum prices
melisa1 [442]

More sales of traditional, large cars are the most likely consequence of falling petroleum prices.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Since the majority of conventional, large cars employ combustion engines, these engines need petroleum fuel to operate.

As a result, <em>Choice C—more sales of conventional, large cars</em>—is one of the effects of dropping oil prices that is most likely to occur.

Does the zero electric field intensity in a given region imply zero potential?​
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

No, just because the electric field is zero at a particular point, it does not necessarily mean that the electric potential is zero at that point. ... At the midpoint between the charges, the electric field due to the charges is zero, but the electric potential due to the charges at that same point is non-zero.
