A young parent is dragging a 65 kg (640 N) sled (this includes the mass of two kids) across some snow on flat ground, by means o

f a rope attached to the sled. The rope is at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the ground and the tension in the rope is 160 N. The sled is moving at a constant velocity of 1.5 m/s.
(a) Draw and label all forces acting on the kids + sled system. Indicate the relative size of each force by scaling the length of each force arrow appropriately
(b) Calculate the normal force acting on the system
(c) Calculate the force of friction acting on the system.
(d) Calculate the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow.

Answer:

b) N = 560 N, c)  fr = 138.56 N, d)  μ = 0.247

Explanation:

a) In the attachment we can see the free body diagram of the system

b) Let's write Newton's second law on the y-axis

              N + T_y -W = 0

              N = W -T_y

let's use trigonometry for tension

             sin θ = T_y / T

             cos θ = Tₓ / T

             T_y = T sin θ

             Tₓ = T cos θ

we substitute

              N = W - T sin 30

we calculate

              N = 640 - 160 sin 30

              N = 560 N

c) as the system goes at constant speed the acceleration is zero

X axis

              Tₓ - fr = 0

               Tₓ = fr

we substitute and calculate

              fr = 160 cos 30

              fr = 138.56 N

d) the friction force has the formula

             fr = μ N

             μ = fr / N

we calculate

             μ = 138.56 / 560

             μ = 0.247

A diffraction grating with 161 slits per centimeter is used to measure the wavelengths emitted by hydrogen gas. At what angles i
Tresset [83]

Answer:

\theta_1  = 0.400^o

\theta_2   =0.378^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  number of slits per cm is  k =  161\  slits\  per\  cm =  161 \  slits\  per\  0.01 m

    The order of the maxima is  n =  1

    The wavelength are  \lambda_1 = 434 nm  =  434 *10^{-9} \ m \ \ \ , \lambda_2 = 410nm =  410 *10^{-9} \  m

The  spacing between the slit is mathematically represented as

           d =  \frac{ 0.01}{k}

=>       d =  \frac{ 0.01}{161}

=>         d = 6.211 *10^{-5} \ m

Generally the condition for constructive interference is  

        n\lambda  =  d \ sin \theta

At  \lambda_1

      \theta _1  =  sin^{-1} [ \frac{1  *  434 *10^{-9}}{6.211 *10^{-5}} ]

      \theta_1  = 0.400^o

At  \lambda_2

       \theta _2  =  sin^{-1} [ \frac{1  *  410 *10^{-9}}{6.211 *10^{-5}} ]

       \theta_2   =0.378^o

Calculating Displacement from the Area under a Curve Try Use the graph to answer the question What is the total displacement of
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

175 m

Explanation:

In a velocity vs time graph, displacement is the area under the curve.

We can calculate this as area of a trapezoid:

A = ½ (10 m/s + 60 m/s) (5 s)

A = 175 m

Or, we can split the area into a rectangle and a triangle.

A = (10 m/s) (5 s) + ½ (60 m/s − 10 m/s) (5 s)

A = 175 m

Explain why air masses do not mix
kati45 [8]

 

Different densities have to have a reason - different pressure and/or humidity etc. If there is a different pressure, there is a mechanical force that preserves the pressure difference: think about the cyclones that have a lower pressure in the center. The cyclones rotate in the right direction and the cyclone may be preserved by the Coriolis force.

If the two air masses differ by humidity, the mixing will almost always lead to precipitation - which includes a phase transition for water etc. It's because the vapor from the more humid air mass gets condensed under the conditions of the other. You get some rain. In general, intense precipitation, thunderstorms, and other visible isolated weather events are linked to weather fronts.

At any rate, a mixing of two air masses is a nontrivial, violent process in general. That's why the boundary is called a "front". In the military jargon, a front is the contested frontier of a conflict. So your idea that the air masses could mix quickly and peacefully - whatever you exactly mean quantitatively - either neglects the inertia of the air, a relatively low diffusion coefficient, a low thermal conductivity, and/or high latent heat of water vapor. A front is something that didn't disappear within minutes so pretty much tautologically, there must be forces that make such a quick disappearance impossible.
