In a circus performance, a monkey is strapped to a sled and both are given an initial speed of 3.0 m/s up a 22.0° inclined track

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Approximately $0.31\; \rm m$ , assuming that $g = 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial kinetic energy of the sled and its passenger:

$\begin{aligned}\text{KE} &= \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^{2} \\ &= \frac{1}{2} \times 14\; \rm kg \times (3.0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1})^{2} \\ &= 63\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

Weight of the slide:

$\begin{aligned}W &= m \cdot g \\ &= 14\; \rm kg \times 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} \\ &\approx 137\; \rm N\end{aligned}$ .

Normal force between the sled and the slope:

$\begin{aligned}F_{\rm N} &= W\cdot \cos(22^{\circ}) \\ &\approx 137\; \rm N \times \cos(22^{\circ}) \\ &\approx 127\; \rm N\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the kinetic friction between the sled and the slope:

$\begin{aligned} f &= \mu_{k} \cdot F_{\rm N} \\ &\approx 0.20\times 127\; \rm N \\ &\approx 25.5\; \rm N\end{aligned}$ .

Assume that the sled and its passenger has reached a height of $h$ meters relative to the base of the slope.

Gain in gravitational potential energy:

$\begin{aligned}\text{GPE} &= m \cdot g \cdot (h\; {\rm m}) \\ &\approx 14\; {\rm kg} \times 9.81\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}} \times h\; {\rm m} \\ & \approx (137\, h)\; {\rm J} \end{aligned}$ .

Distance travelled along the slope:

$\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{h}{\sin(22^{\circ})} \\ &\approx \frac{h\; \rm m}{0.375}\end{aligned}$ .

The energy lost to friction (same as the opposite of the amount of work that friction did on this sled) would be:

$\begin{aligned} & - (-x)\, f \\ = \; & x \cdot f \\ \approx \; & \frac{h\; {\rm m}}{0.375}\times 25.5\; {\rm N} \\ \approx\; & (68.1\, h)\; {\rm J}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the sled and its passenger would have lost (approximately) $((137 + 68.1)\, h)\; {\rm J}$ of energy when it is at a height of $h\; {\rm m}$ .

The initial amount of energy that the sled and its passenger possessed was $\text{KE} = 63\; {\rm J}$ . All that much energy would have been converted when the sled is at its maximum height. Therefore, when $h\; {\rm m}$ is the maximum height of the sled, the following equation would hold.

$((137 + 68.1)\, h)\; {\rm J} = 63\; {\rm J}$ .

Solve for $h$ :

$(137 + 68.1)\, h = 63$ .

$\begin{aligned} h &= \frac{63}{137 + 68.1} \approx 0.31\; \rm m\end{aligned}$ .

Therefore, the maximum height that this sled would reach would be approximately $0.31\; \rm m$ .

A farmer has 140 bushels of wheat to sell at his roadside stand. He sells an average of 14 bushels

Levart [38]

Answer:

140-(14×7)=42

Step-by-step explanation:

if he sells 14 each day for 7 days. thats 14-7=98 and to find how many he has left, you have to subtract 98 from 140

Find the y-intercept and the slope of the line y=-x+7 y-intercept: slope:

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The y-intercept would be 7

The slope would be -1 or -1/1. They are both the same thing.

The slope is the number which is located directly to the left of the variable (the variable in this case is x, but in other situations it could be a totally different letter).
