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

If the world was not tilted, what would happen to the people living on Earth
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Image result for If the world was not tilted, what would happen to the people living on Earth

If the Earth weren't tilted on its axis, there would be no seasons. And humanity would suffer. When a Mars-size object collided with Earth 4.5 billion years ago, it knocked off a chunk that would become the moon. It also tilted Earth sideways a bit, so that our planet now orbits the sun on a slant

When a 5.0-kilogram cart moving with a speed of 2.8 meters per second on a horizontal surface collides with a 2.0 kilogram cart
mixer [17]

Here in all such collision type question we can use momentum conservation as we can see that there is no external force on this system

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

as we know that

m_1 = 5 kg

m_2 = 2 kg

v_{1i} = 2.8 m/s

v_{2i} = 0 m/s

now from above equation we have

5(2.8) + 2(0) = m_1v+ m_2v

14 = (5+ 2) v

v = 2 m/s

so the speed of combined system is 2 m/s

A 1.55-kg object hangs in equilibrium at the end of a rope (taken as massless) while a wind pushes the object with a 13.3-n hori
yarga [219]
<span>To answer this problem, we use balancing of forces: x and y components to determine the tension of the rope.


First, the vertical component of tension (Tsin theta) is equal to the weight of the object. 
 T * sin θ = mg =</span> 1.55 * 9.81 <span>
 T * sin θ = 15.2055

Second, the horizontal component of tension (t cos theta) is equal to the force of the wind. 
 T * cos θ =  13.3 

Tan θ = sin  </span>θ / cos θ = 15.2055/13.3 = 1.143
we can find θ that is equal to 48.82. 

T then is equal to 20.20 N
