Answer:

5.94\ \text{m/s}

1.7

0.577

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

\theta = Angle of slope = 30^{\circ}

v = Velocity of child at the bottom of the slide

\mu_k = Coefficient of kinetic friction

\mu_s = Coefficient of static friction

h = Height of slope = 1.8 m

The energy balance of the system is given by

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.8}\\\Rightarrow v=5.94\ \text{m/s}

The speed of the child at the bottom of the slide is 5.94\ \text{m/s}

Length of the slide is given by

l=h\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow l=1.8\sin30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow l=0.9\ \text{m}

v=\dfrac{1}{2}\times5.94\\\Rightarrow v=2.97\ \text{m/s}

The force energy balance of the system is given by

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\mu_kmg\cos\theta l\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{gh-\dfrac{1}{2}v^2}{gl\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{9.81\times 1.8-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.97^2}{9.81\times 0.9\cos30^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=1.73

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 1.7.

For static friction

\mu_s\geq\tan30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s\geq0.577

So, the minimum possible value for the coefficient of static friction is 0.577.

6.) What is
Feliz [49]

Answer:

100 V

Explanation:

Hi there!

Ohm's law states that V=IR where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance.

Plug the given information into Ohm's law (R=50, I=A)

V=IR\\V=(2)(50)\\V=100

Therefore, the voltage across this current is 100 V.

I hope this helps!

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.320 with the floor. If
mart [117]

Answer:  29.50 m

Explanation: In order to calculate the higher accelation to stop a train  without moving the crates inside the wagon which is traveling at constat speed we have to use the second Newton law so that:

f=μ*N the friction force is equal to coefficient of static friction  multiply the normal force (m*g).

f=m.a=μ*N= m*a= μ*m*g= m*a

then

a=μ*g=0.32*9.8m/s^2= 3.14 m/s^2

With this value we can determine the short distance to stop the train

as follows:

x= vo*t- (a/2)* t^2

Vf=0= vo-a*t then t=vo/a

Finally; x=vo*vo/a-a/2*(vo/a)^2=vo^2/2a= (49*1000/3600)^2/(2*3.14)=29.50 m
