I'll bite:
-- Since the sled's mass is 'm', its weight is 'mg'.
-- Since the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk, the force acting opposite to the direction it's sliding is (μk) times (mg) .
-- If the pulling force is constant 'F', then the horizontal forces on the sled
are 'F' forward and (μk · mg) backwards.
-- The net force on the sled is (F - μk·mg).
(I regret the visual appearance that's beginning to emerge,
but let's forge onward.)
-- The sled's horizontal acceleration is (net force) / (mass) = (F - μk·mg) / m.
This could be simplified, but let's not just yet.
-- Starting from rest, the sled moves a distance 's' during time 't'.
We know that s = 1/2 a t² , and we know what 'a' is. So we can write
s = (1/2 t²) (F - μk·mg) / m .
Now we have the distance, and the constant force.
The total work is (Force x distance), and the power is (Work / time).
Let's put it together and see how ugly it becomes. Maybe THEN
it can be simplified.
Work = (Force x distance) = F x (1/2 t²) (F - μk·mg) / m
Power = (Work / time) = <em>F (t/2) (F - μk·mg) / m </em>
Unless I can come up with something a lot simpler, that's the answer.
To simplify and beautify, make the partial fractions out of the
2nd parentheses:
<em> F (t/2) (F/m - μk·m)</em>
I think that's about as far as you can go. I tried some other presentations,
and didn't find anything that's much simpler.
Five points,ehhh ?
Theoretically, if the objects have the same mass and are moving towards each other at a speed of
, after a perfectly elastic collision, the object A is supposed to move with the same velocity in the opposite direction.
Answer:
Issac Newton was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of sunlight. He tried to split the colours of the spectrum of white light further by using another similar prism. However, he could not get any more colours. He then placed a second identical prism in an inverted position with respect to the first as shown.
This allowed all the colours of the spectrum to pass through the second prism. He found a beam of white light emerging from the other side of the second prism. This observation gave Newton the idea that the sunlight is made-up of seven colours.
Explanation:
Yah isnt that obvious? Gasses mix everywhere in all proportions.
