Answer:

v = 8.09   m/s

Explanation:

For this exercise we use that the work done by the friction force plus the potential energy equals the change in the body's energy.

Let's calculate the energy

       

starting point. Higher

         Em₀ = U = m gh

final point. To go down the slope

         Em_f = K = ½ m v²

The work of the friction force is

         W = fr L cos 180

to find the friction force let's use Newton's second law

Axis y

        N - W_y = 0

        N = W_y

X axis

        Wₓ - fr = ma

let's use trigonometry

        sin  θ = y / L

         sin θ = 11/110 = 0.1

         θ = sin⁻¹  0.1

          θ = 5.74º

         sin 5.74 = Wₓ / W

         cos 5.74 = W_y / W

         Wₓ = W sin 5.74

         W_y = W cos 5.74

the formula for the friction force is

         fr = μ N

         fr = μ W cos θ

Work is friction force is

         W_fr = - μ W L cos θ  

Let's use the relationship of work with energy

        W + ΔU = ΔK

         -μ mg L cos 5.74 + (mgh - 0) = 0  - ½ m v²

        v² = - 2 μ g L cos 5.74 +2 (gh)

        v² = 2gh - 2 μ gL cos 5.74

let's calculate

        v² = 2 9.8 11 - 2 0.07 9.8 110 cos 5.74

        v² = 215.6 -150.16

        v = √65.44

        v = 8.09   m/s

hey guys, l need some help! what is the weight of potatoes of mass 75 kg on the surface of the earth? (g=9.8m/s square) ans=735N
Airida [17]

Answer:

735N

Explanation:

Weight is a measurement of force.

F = Force

m = mass

a = acceleration

F = m*a

F = 75kg*9.8m/s²

F = 735N

A glass window 0.33 cm thick measures 87 cm by 36 cm. How much heat flows through this window per minute if the inside and outsi
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

6.38 x 10^4 J

Explanation:

d = 0.33 cm = 0.33 x 10^-2 m, Area = 87 x 36 cm^2 = 0.87 x 0.36 m^2

ΔT = 14 degree C, t = 1 min = 60 second

K = 0.8 W / m K

Heat  = K A ΔT t / d

H = 0.8 x 0.87 x 0.36 x 14 x 60 / (0.33 x 10^-2)

H = 6.38 x 10^4 J

What does this tell you about the direction and magnitude of the acceleration acting on the cannonball throughout its duration o
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Direction remains the same but velocity changes.

Explanation:

This tell us about the direction and magnitude of the acceleration acting on the cannonball throughout its duration of flight that its direction remains the same but its magnitude of the acceleration is continuously changing. The cannonball moves in the direction in which the cannon was fired while the velocity is highest after the fire but decreases when goes higher and when it comes back to the ground so its velocity increases against so we can say that both positive and negative acceleration occurs. Positive acceleration means increase in the magnitude of velocity whereas negative acceleration means decrease in velocity.

Answer:

variations in great horned owl body size due to food supply can be acted on by natural selection.

Explanation:

Natural selection can help select great horned owl with smaller body size since it's an advantage in a place with smaller available food sources, compared to a bigger body size that will need more food. At first, birds with smaller body survive while those bigger ones die out, and the smaller birds pass on this genes to their offspring.

Answer:

variation in body size due to inherited traits can be acted on by natural selection

Explanation :

Variations in body size in body size due to inherited trait can be acted upon by natural selection by favoring the size that is best suited for the survival of the species. Those with these genes survive and pass it on to their offspring, while those with the unfavorable body size are wiped out.
