A child and sled with a combined mass of 54.8

Physics

Answer:

15.02 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that the height of the hill, h= 11.5 m.

Combined mass, m= 54.8 kg

The initial velocity of the combined mass, u=0

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s^2.

Angle of the path the horizontal, \theta = 36 degree.

Let A be the initial position and B be the final position of the sled as shown in the figure.

The path is frictionless so the drag force =0

The gravitational force acting on the combined mass in the downward direction, F= mg\cdots(i)

The component of force acting in the direction of motion = F\sin \theta.

Let a be the acceleration of the combined mass, m, So,

F\sin \theta= ma

\Rightarrow mg \sin \theta= ma [ from equation (i)]

\Rightarrow a = g \sin \theta \cdots(ii).

Let v be the final velocity of the combined mass.

Now, by using the equation of motion,

v^2=u^2+2as\\\\\Rightarrow v^2=0^2+2as\\\\ \Rightarrow v^2=2as\cdots(iii)

Here, s is the displacement in the direction of motion,

So, s= AB

Now, in the right-angled triangle ABO,

\sin\theta = OA/AB= h/AB\\\\\Rightarrow AB = h/ \sin\theta\\\\\Rightarrow s = h/ \sin\theta\cdots(iv)

Now,  from equations (ii), (iii) and (iv), we have

v^2= 2\times g \sin \theta \times \frac {h}{\sin\theta}\\\\\Rightarrow v^2= 2gh\\\\\Rightarrow v= \sqrt{2gh}

By using the given values, we have

v= \sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 11.5}=\sqrt {225.63}\\\\\Rightarrow v = 15.02 m/s

Hence, the speed of the combined mass at the bottom = 15.02 m/s.

If an object is rolling without slipping, how does its linear speed compare to its rotational speed? If an object is rolling wit
salantis [7]

Answer:

v = r\omega

Explanation:

If the object is rolling without slipping, every unit of rotated angle equals to a distance perimeter rotated.

Suppose the object complete 1 revolution within time t. The angular distance is 2π rad. Its angular velocity is 2π/t

The distance it covered is its circumference, which is 2πr, and so the speed is 2πr/t

So the linear speed compared to angular speed is

\frac{v}{\omega} = \frac{2\pi r/t}{2\pi /t} = r

v = r\omega

1. What are the two quantities involved when calculating MOMENTUM?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Mass and Velocity

Explanation:

Momentum = Mass  X Velocity

or p=m' x v

since in physics p is quantity momentum and m stands for mass and v stands for velocity.

Hope this helps :)

What is the relationship between matter and energy as it changes states of matter (phase changes?)
AlekseyPX

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.
