u = 0.077

Explanation:

Work done by friction is

Wf = ∆KE + ∆PE

-umgx = ∆KE,. ∆PE =0 (level ice surface)

-umgx = KEf - KEi = -(1/2)mv^2

Solving for u,

u = v^2/2gx

= (12 m/s)^2/2(9.8 m/s^2)(95 m)

= 0.077

GenaCL600 [577]

Complete Question

For each of the following scenarios, describe the force providing the centripetal force for the motion:

a. a car making a turn

b. a child swinging around a pole

c. a person sitting on a bench facing the center of a carousel

d. a rock swinging on a string

e. the Earth orbiting the Sun.

Answer:

Considering a

The force providing the centripetal force is the frictional force on the tires \

i.e $\mu mg = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of static friction

Considering b

The force providing the centripetal force is the force experienced by the boys hand on the pole

Considering c

The force providing the centripetal force is the normal from the bench due to the boys weight

Considering d

The force providing the centripetal force is the tension on the string

Considering e

The force providing the centripetal force is the force of gravity between the earth and the sun

Explain: What happens to the velocity of a stream as the size of the sediment increases?

artcher [175]

Answer:

Also, as stream depth increases, the hydraulic radius increases thereby making the stream more free flowing. Both of these factors lead to an increase in stream velocity. The increased velocity and the increased cross-sectional area mean that discharge increases.
