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.

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

Pavel [41]
If you draw the problem, it would look like that shown in the attached picture. The total length the ship will now travel can be solved using the Pythagorean theorem. The solution is as follows:

d = √(120)²+(100)²
d = 156.2 km

So, the ship will have to travel 156.2 km to the northwest direction.

A generator makes electricity from _____ A. Chemical reactions B. Friction C. Kinetic energy D. Heat
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The answer is C. Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Generators don't actually create electricity. Instead, they convert mechanical or chemical energy into electrical energy. They do this by capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit.
