Now moving horizontally, the skier crosses a patch of soft snow, where the coefficient of friction is μk = 0.160. If the patch i
Olegator [25]

Answer:

14.1 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

μk = a/g...................... Equation 1

Where μk = coefficient of kinetic friction, a= acceleration of the skier, g = acceleration due to gravity.

make a the subject of the equation

a = μk(g).................. Equation 2

Given: μk = 0.160, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

a = 0.16(9.8)

a = 1.568 m/s²

Using,

F = ma

Where F = force, m = mass.

Make m the subject of the equation

m = F/a................... Equation 3

m = 160/1.568

m = 102.04 kg.

Note: The work done against air resistance by the skier+ work done against friction is equal to the kinetic energy after cross the patch.

Assuming the initial velocity of the skier to be zero

Fd+mgμ = 1/2mv²........................Equation 4

Where v = speed of the skier after crossing the patch, d = distance/width of the patch.

v = √2(Fd+mgμ)/m)................ Equation 5

Given: F = 160 N, m = 102.04 kg, d = 62 m, g = 9.8 m/s, μk = 0.16

Substitute these values into equation 5

v = √[2[(160×62)+(102.04×9.8×0.16)]/102.04]

v = √197.57

v = 14.1 m/s

v = 9.86 m/s

leva [86]
The distance the car traveled was 75 cm, and the distance the washer traveled was 200 cm. I know this because of coarse I had to calculate the distance and I just took the quiz and it said I got it right.
(I also calculated it again to make sure it was correct before I gave you the answer.) 

P.S- Please mark me Brainliest, thank you (^v^).

What momentum of a 50kilogram ice skater gliding across the ice at a speed of 5m/s?
Ivenika [448]
Momentum (P) = Mass (kg) * Velocity (m/s)

P = M * V
P = 50 * 5
P = 250

So momentum is 250 kgm/s

A long thin uniform rod of length 1.50 m is to be suspended from a frictionless pivot located at some point along the rod so tha
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

0.087 m

Explanation:

Length of the rod, L = 1.5 m

Let the mass of the rod is m and d is the distance between the pivot point and the centre of mass.

time period, T = 3  s

the formula for the time period of the pendulum is given by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{mgd}}    .... (1)

where, I is the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot point and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Moment of inertia of the rod about the centre of mass, Ic = mL²/12

By using the parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot is

I = Ic + md²

I = \frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}

Substituting the values in equation (1)

3 = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}}{mgd}}

9=4\pi^{2}\times \left ( \frac{\frac{L^{2}}{12}+d^{2}}{gd} \right )

12d² -26.84 d + 2.25 =  0

d=\frac{26.84\pm \sqrt{26.84^{2}-4\times 12\times 2.25}}{24}

d=\frac{26.84\pm 24.75}{24}

d = 2.15 m , 0.087 m

d cannot be more than L/2, so the value of d is 0.087 m.

Thus, the distance between the pivot and the centre of mass of the rod is 0.087 m.
