Answer:

The height is  h = 0.5224 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The combined mass of the child and the sled is  m =  58.0 \  kg

    The  speed of the sled is  u = 3.20 \ m/s

Generally applying SOHCAHTOA on the slope which the combined mass is down from

   Here the length of the slope(L)  where the combined mass slides through  is the hypotenuses

   while the height(h) of the height of the slope is the opposite

Hence from SOHCAHTOA

      sin (\theta) =  \frac{h}{L}

=>   Lsin(\theta) = h

Generally from the kinematic equation we have that

   v^2  = u^2 + 2aL

Here the u  is the initial velocity of the combined mass which is zero since it started from rest

 and  a is the acceleration of the combined mass which is mathematically evaluated as

       a =  g * sin (\theta )

      v^2  = u^2 + 2 *  g * sin (\theta )L

=>   2Lsin(\theta ) =  \frac{v^2 - u^2 }{g}

=>   h = \frac{ v^2 - u^2}{2g}

=>   h = \frac{ 3.20^2 - 0^2}{2 * 9.8 }

=>   h = 0.5224 \ m

What is an electric motor? Explain its operation. 2-3 sentence
Anarel [89]

Answer:

An electric motor is a device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy. This change occurs due to the interaction between the magnetic field of magnets and the magnetic field due to the  electric current in the  loop. The interaction between the two produces a torque that makes the loop rotate on a shaft.

dangina [55]

Answer:

a) 500

b)-500, north west

Explanation:

a) sum of F= F1+F2= 200+300= 500

b) sum of forces=0

so 200+300-500+0

Which is evidence that a convergent boundary once existed
Vladimir79 [104]

Volcanic islands, Mountain ranges

Explanation:

A convergent margin is plate boundary in which plates comes together. There are different types of interactions that occurs around a place where plate converges.

  • An ocean-continent convergence creates a subduction zone in which the denser oceanic plate sinks beneath the less dense continental crust.
  • As the oceanic plate begins to subside, it can melt and form chains of volcanic island within the riding continents.
  • Also, where two plates of equal densities converge, none of them subsides and this leads to upbuilding.
  • The product can be seen as extensive mountain ranges on earth like the Andes and Himalayas.
