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

Compare and contrast how sound waves behave when they
Ghella [55]

Answer:

As sound waves move (or more accurately, when they travel by transferring their energy) they interact with physical objects. Soft surfaces will absorb sound while hard surfaces will reflect it. .Hard surfaces reflect sound and soft surfaces absorb sound.

The convex mirror has a reflecting surface that curves outward, resembling a portion of the exterior of a sphere. Light rays parallel to the optical axis are reflected from the surface in a direction that diverges from the focal point, which is behind the mirror

Current is produced when charges are accelerated by an electric field to move to a position of lower
Vaselesa [24]
Current is created when charges are quickened by an electric field to move where the position of lower temperature. An electric current is a stream of electric charge. In electric circuits, this charge is regularly conveyed by moving electrons in a wire.

A closed circuit is formed by a solid conductor in contact with two parallel conducting rails that are closed on their left end,
castortr0y [4]

this is an equation that you need to solve for motional emf. motional emf=vBL, where v is velocity in meters/second, B is magnetic field in Teslas and L is length or distance the rails are apart from each other. when we plug everything into the formula given above, we get: motional emf=5m/s*0.80T*0.20m. solving all this we get 0.8 volts. pretty sure that since they are giving you the direction of the field, they want to know which way the current will flow . since the conductor is moving from left to right the area of the field is increasing which means magnetic flux is increasing as Ф(magnetic flux)=B(magnetic field)*A(area)*cosФ(little phi is the angle to the normal. in this case little fee is 0 degrees so the cosФ doesn't matter). so ↑Ф=B↑A. if magnetic flux is increasing, the induced magnetic field is in the opposite direction as the original magnetic field meaning the induced magnetic field will be out of the page. using the right hand rule which says that if the field is in to the page, the current should go clockwise and if the field is out of the page, the current is counterclockwise so that means that the current should be going counter clockwise since the induced field is going out of the screen. the top of the conducting wire will have its current go to the left and the bottom of the conducting wire will have the current go to the right.
