A 15-kg sled is being pulled along the horizontal snow-covered ground by a horizontal force of 29 N. Starting from rest, the sle

d attains a speed of 3.0 m/s in 8.8 m. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the runners of the sled and the snow.

Softa [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

v² = u² + 2 a s

3² = 0 + 2 x a x 8.8

a = .511 m / s²

Let the frictional force acting on sled be F

F = m a

29 - F = 15 x .511

29 - F = 7.665

F = 21.335 N.

F = μ R , R = mg , μ is coefficient of kinetic friction.

F = μ x mg

μ = F / mg

= 21.335 / 15 x 9.8

= .145

coefficient of kinetic friction = .145

What is the momentum of a 200 kg truck travelling at 20 m/s?
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

p = 4000 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 200 kg

Speed of the truck, v = 20 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the truck. The formula for momentum is given by :

p = mv

so,

p=200\times 20\\\\p=4000\ kg-m/s

So, the momentum of the truck is equal to 4000 kg-m/s.

What is E=m² the famous theory of albert einstien?
pshichka [43]
Actually it's E = mc^{2} and it says that the energy of an object (E) is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied with the squared speed of light (c^{2}). This theory says that mass can be turned into energy and energy can be turned into mass. This is one of Einstein's theory of relativity.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

From Newton's law of motion, we have:

V^2 = U^2 + 2gH

Where V and U are final and initial velocity respectively.

H is the height.

For the object to have a sustain a maximum height it means the final velocity of the object is zero.

By computing the height of the object sustain by A, we have:

0^2 = 2^2 -2×10×H

0= 4 -20H

4 = 20H;

H= 0.2m

For object B we have;

0^2 = 1^2 -2×10×H

0 = 1 -20H

H = 1/20= 0.05m

From computing the height sustain by both objects, we see object B is projected at a shorter height into atmosphere than A.

Hence object B will return to the ground first.
