Answer:

a

H  =212.6 \  J

b

v  =  7.647  \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The child's weight is  W_c  =  287 \ N

    The length of the sliding surface of the playground is  L =  7.20 \  m

    The coefficient of friction is  \mu =  0.120

      The angle is \theta = 31.0 ^o

      The initial  speed is  u =  0.559 \  m/s

Generally the normal force acting on the child is mathematically represented as

=>    N  =  mg  *  cos \theta

Note  m *  g  =  W_c

Generally the frictional force between the slide and the child is    

         F_f  =  \mu *  mg  *  cos \theta

Generally the resultant force acting on the child due to her weight and the frictional  force is mathematically represented as

      F =m* g sin(\theta) - F_f

Here  F is the resultant force and it is represented as  F =  ma

=>   ma =   m* g sin(31.0)  - \mu *  mg  *  cos (31.0)

=>   a =  g sin(31.0)-  \mu *  g  *  cos (31.0)

=>  a =    9.8 *  sin(31.0) - 0.120 *  9.8  *  cos (31.0)

=>a =  4.039 \ m/s^2

So

   F_f  =  0.120  * 287  *  cos (31.0)

=> F_f  = 29.52 \  N

Generally the heat energy generated by the frictional  force which equivalent tot the workdone by the frictional force  is mathematically represented as

     H  =  F_f  * L

=>  H  = 29.52 *  7.2

=>  H  =212.6 \  J

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

    v^2  =  u^2  +  2as

=>  v^2  =  0.559^2  +  2 * 4.039 * 7.2

=>  v  =  \sqrt{0.559^2  +  2 * 4.039 * 7.2}

=>  v  =  7.647  \  m/s

Why does the closed top of a convertible bulge when the car is riding along a highway? Why does the closed top of a convertible
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Option D

The air pressure inside the car is greater than the pressure outside.

Explanation:

When considering airflow over and around a surface, from Bernoulli's equation, air flow regions with higher velocity have a lower pressure, and regions with lower velocity have a higher pressure.

The air outside the convertible is moving faster than the air inside the convertible. This leads to a higher pressure zone just below the surface of the roof (inside the car) causing the roof of the convertible to bulge upwards

How is energy transferred during the water cycle? Question 1 options: Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it duri
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere

Explanation:

In the water cycle, heat energy is gained or lost by water as it undergoes various processes in the cycle.

In evaporation, water molecules gains energy because the molecules of water vibrate faster and become more energetic. Hence they are able to escape into the atmosphere from the surface of the liquid.

In condensation, the molecules of gaseous water looses energy and becomes liquid.

Hence, water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere.

A ball dropped from a bridge takes 3.0 seconds to reach the water below. How far is the bridge from the water?
Komok [63]
Since it is dropped, initial velocity u = 0

Using s = ut + (1/2)gt^2,        putting u = 0,  g = 10 m/s^2

s =(1/2)gt^2,                  t = 3s

s = 0.5 * 10 * 3 *3

s = 45 m.

The bridge is 45m above the water.

14 Explain How do you think the three-story-high<br> ripple marks shown here were formed?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Ripple marks are caused by water flowing over loose sediment which creates bed forms by moving sediment with the flow. Bed forms are linked to flow velocity and sediment size, whereas ripples are characteristic of shallow water deposition and can also be caused by wind blowing over the surface.
