A child whose weight is 287 N slides down a 7.20 m playground slide that makes an angle of 31.0° with the horizontal. The coeff

icient of kinetic friction between slide and child is 0.120. (a) How much energy is transferred to thermal energy? (b) If she starts at the top with a speed of 0.559 m/s, what is her speed at the bottom?

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

How can shorter string produce more fundamental frequency in two string of different length?​
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Shorter string produces more frequency in two different strings because the equation for frequency is velocity/wavelength , this means that a shorter string creates a shorter wavelength which essentially increases the total frequency produced

Explanation:

<em>The height of the pendulum is measured from the lowest point it reaches (point 3). </em>

At 1, the kinetic energy of the pendulum is zero (because it is not moving), and it has maximum potential energy.

At 2, the pendulum has both kinetic and potential energy, and how much of each it has depends on its height—smaller the height greater the kinetic energy and lower the potential energy.

At 3, the height is zero; therefore, the pendulum has no potential energy, and has maximum kinetic energy.

At 4, the pendulum again gains potential energy as it climbs back up,  Again how much of each forms of energy it has depends on its height.

At 5, the maximum height is reached again; therefore, the pendulum has maximum potential energy and no kinetic energy.

Hope this helps :)
