Answer:

Explanation:

To get the person Moving you have to overcome the static (means not moving) friction coefficient. U(static)

To get the person going at the same speed you have to overcome the kinetic friction coefficient. U(Kinetic)

Force to get him moving is 198 N. Force = ma = U(static)Mg

combining the 2 equations you get 198N = U(static)* 55kg *9.8m/s^2 Solve for U(static)

Same equation to keep him moving except with the dynamic force and the dynamic U

175N= U(kinetic)*55kg*9.8m/s^2 Solve (U dynamic)

A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 94.0 km/h to 46.0 km/h in the 17.0 s that it takes to round

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

1.41 m/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert the two speeds from km/h to m/s:

$u = 94.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h} = 26.1 m/s$

$v=46.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=12.8 m/s$

Now we find the centripetal acceleration which is given by

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

v = 12.8 m/s is the speed

r = 140 m is the radius of the curve

Substituting values, we find

$a_c=\frac{(12.8 m/s)^2}{140 m}=1.17 m/s^2$

we also have a tangential acceleration, which is given by

$a_t = \frac{v-u}{t}$

where

t = 17.0 s

Substituting values,

$a_t=\frac{12.8 m/s-26.1 m/s}{17.0 s}=-0.78 m/s^2$

The two components of the acceleration are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the resultant acceleration by using Pythagorean theorem:

$a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}=\sqrt{(1.17 m/s^2)+(-0.78 m/s^2)}=1.41 m/s^2$

If a cart of a roller coaster has a mass of 250kg and is at a height of 14 meters. What is the cart's potential energy?

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

3430000 J

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is PE=mgh.

M being the mass, g being the force of gravity, and h being the height.

First thing you want to do is convert 250 kg to g (grams).

From there you get 25000g and you have to multiply that by 14m and 9.8m/s^2 (the force of gravity is constant, at least on earth).
