Along a horizontal snow-covered track, a sled, of mass m = 105 kg, slides by the action of a horizontal force of 230 N. The coef

ficient of friction between the sled and the snow is µ = 0.025.

Answer:

Explanation:

The only thing I can figure you need here is the accleration of the sled. The equation we need to find this is Newton's Second Law that says that sum of the forces acting on an object is equal to the object's mass times its acceleration. For us, that looks like this because of the friction working against the sled:

F - f = ma but of course it's much more involved than that simple equation! We have the F value as 230 N, and we have the mass as 105, but we do not have the frictional force, f, and we need it to solve for a in the above equation. We know that

f = μF_n where μ is the coefficient of friction, and F_n is the normal force, aka weight of the object. We will use the coefficient of friction and find the weight in order to fill in for f:

F_n=mg so

F_n=(105)(9.8) so the weight of the sled is

F_n= 1.0 × 10³ with the correct number of sig dig there. Now to find f:

f = (.025)(1.0 × 10³) so

f = 25 to the correct number of sig fig. Now on to our "real" equation:

F - f = ma and

230 - 25 = 105a. We have to do the subtraction first, round, and then divide since the rules for addition and subtraction are different from the rules for dividing and multiplying.

230 - 25 will round to the tens place giving us 210. Then

210 = 105a. 210 has 2 sig figs in it while 105 has 3, so we will divide and round to 2 sig fig:

a = 2.0 m/sec²

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 100 N/C. This field is maintained by variou
zlopas [31]

Answer:

q = 3.6 10⁵  C

Explanation:

To solve this exercise, let's use one of the consequences of Gauss's law, that all the charge on a body can be considered at its center, therefore we calculate the electric field on the surface of a sphere with the radius of the Earth

          r = 6 , 37 106 m

          E = k q / r²

          q = E r² / k

          q = \frac{100 \ (6.37 \ 10^6)^2}{9 \ 10^9}

          q = 4.5 10⁵ C

Now let's calculate the charge on the planet with E = 222 N / c and radius

           r = 0.6 r_ Earth

           r = 0.6 6.37 10⁶ = 3.822 10⁶ m

           E = k q / r²

            q = E r² / k

            q = \frac{222 (3.822 \ 10^6)^2}{ 9 \ 10^9}

            q = 3.6 10⁵  C

Why freezer is made in the upper part of refrigrator
svp [43]
<h2>Question</h2>

why freezer is made in the upper part of refrigrator

<h2>✒ Answer</h2>

the cold air produced from it is denser than the warmer air in the bottom

<h3>Explaination</h3>

Freezer is normally provided at the top of the refrigerator, because density of the cold air is high compared to the hot air. In a refrigerator the air contacts with the cooling coil and gets cooling.Because of the high density the cold air gets down and the warm air/hot air moves upward and gets cooling from the cooling coil/evaporator coil. This process is repeated. If the Freezer is provided at the bottom place of the refrigerator, the cold air can't to move full area of the refrigerator. So the freezer is normally provided at the top at the refrigerator

You are standing on a sidewalk. There is a car in the distance. The horn on the car sounds. You hear it at a pitch that correspo
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: The answer: The car is moving away from you.

Both A and C are true as Car can be moving in line away from you or has component of velocity in opposite direction.

Explanation:The decrease in the frequency of the sound is the result of Doppler's effect. A/c to Doppler's effect the frequency of received sound of source is changed if it is moving relative to the receiver, i.e. the distance between them is changing due to motion.

The general formula of Doppler's Effect is attached as the picture.

In this formula v_D is the velocity of Detector i.e the receiver relative to wind. While v_s is the velocity of source relative to wind and v is the velocity of sound.

The Doppler's effect is not effected by the velocity of wind as the wind itself could not change the distance between the two objects i.e. you and the car. Wind velocity can change the speed of sound and its wavelength but the change does not effect the frequency.

Hence if we assume the car to be moving with velocity v_c and you are stationary

f'=f_s*\frac{v}{v-v_c}

hence the frequency is reduced.
