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

When a 3.0 kg mass is hung from a vertical massless spring, the spring is stretched 40 cm. What is the spring constant of the sp
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

0.74 N/cm

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 3 Kg

Extention (e) = 40 cm

Spring constant (K) =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted on the spring.

This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 3 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = mg

F = 3 × 9.8

F = 29.4 N

Finally, we shall determine the spring constant of the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Extention (e) = 40 cm

Force (F) = 29.4 N

Spring constant (K) =?

F = Ke

29.4 = K × 40

Divide both side by 40

K = 29.4 / 40

K = 0.74 N/cm

Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 0.74 N/cm

A delta connection has a voltage of 560 V connected to it. How much voltage is dropped across each phase
SashulF [63]

Answer:

E_Phase = 560V

Explanation:

The computation of the voltage i.e. dropped across each phase is shown below:

Given that

The delta connection line voltage is

E_line = 560 V

And, in the case of delta connection, the line voltage would be equivalent to the phase voltage

That means

E_Phase = E_Line

= 560 V

Hence, the voltage i.e. dropped across each phase is

E_Phase = 560V

"what is the horse's average velocity during the first ten seconds of its gallop
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, from the completed question, determine the distance (in meters) the horse covered in the first ten seconds of it's gallop and apply the formula below.

Average velocity = distance (in meters) ÷ time (in seconds as provided in this question)

The unit for velocity (to be used here) is m/s or ms⁻¹
