Assuming the woman starts at rest, she descends the slide with acceleration a such that

(20.3 m/s)² = 2 a (42.6 m) → a ≈ 4.84 m/s²

which points parallel to the slide.

The only forces acting on her, parallel to the slide, are

• the parallel component of her weight, w (//)

• friction, f, opposing her descent and pointing up the slide

Take the downward sliding direction to be positive. By Newton's second law, the net force in the parallel direction acting on the woman is

∑ F (//) = w (//) - f = ma

where m = 77.0 kg is the woman's mass.

Solve for f :

mg sin(42.3°) - f = ma

f = m (g sin(42.3°) - a)

f = (77.0 kg) ((9.80 m/s²) sin(42.3°) - 4.84 m/s²) ≈ 135 N

Compute the work W done by friction: multiply the magnitude of the friction by the length of the slide.

W = (135 N) (42.6 m) ≈ 5770 N•m = 5770 J

What is the launch speed of a projectile that rises vertically above the Earth to an altitude equal to 14 REarth before coming t

vivado [14]

Answer:

v = 1.078 10⁴ m / s

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we can use conservation of mechanical energy

Starting point. Just clearing

Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v² - G m M / $R_{e}$

Final point. At r = 14R_{e}

Em_{f} = U = -G m M / 14R_{e}

how energy is conserved

Em₀ = $Em_{f}$

½ m v² - G m M /R_{e} = -G m M / 14R_{e}

½ v² = G M / R_{e} (-1/14 + 1)

v² = 2 G M / R_{e} 13/14

we calculate

v² = 2 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ / 6.37 10⁶ 13/14

v = √ (1,16 10⁸)

v = 1.078 10⁴ m / s

Answer:

750 force

Explanation:

I have never worked with force but I can guess using the formula. 1500, which is the mass, multiplied by the acceleration, 0.5, would equal 750 force, if being applied by the equation listed, Force= mass×acceleration

Elaborate on the reason(s) that matter is said to move even as in a solid state.

Pepsi [2]

1) The correct answer is
C) The particles are not able to move out of their positions relative to one another, but do have small vibrational movements.
In solids, in fact, particles are bound together so they cannot move freely. However, they can move around their fixed position with small vibrational movements, whose intensity depends on the temperature of the substance (the higher the temperature, the more intense the vibrations). For this reason, we say that matter moves also in solid state.

2) The correct answer is
A) increase the concentration of both solutions
In fact, when we increase the concentration of both solutions, we increase the number of particles that react in both solutions; as a result, the speed of the reaction will increase.

3) The correct answer is
C) gas → liquid → solid
In gases, in fact, particles are basically free to move, so the intermolecular forces of attraction are almost negligible. In liquids, particles are still able to move, however the intermolecular forces of attraction are stronger than in gases. Finally, in solids, particles are bound together, so they are not free to move and the intermolecular forces of attraction are very strong.
