Answer:
More extreme weather.
Explanation:
The Conveyor Belt of tides functions on a local and global level to spread out the cold and hot temperature differences on the planet. It is a delicate but important process that is easily disrupted, which causes it to slow down. And when it slows down, all those temperature differences will become more concentrated, causing colder places to be colder and hotter places to be hotter, ultimately leading to more extreme weather events as these cold and hot spots collide more violently than before.
Here's a picture I found on it:
(a) 69.3 J
The work done by the applied force is given by:
where:
F = 25.0 N is the magnitude of the applied force
d = 3.20 m is the displacement of the sled
is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement of the sled
Substituting numbers into the formula, we find
(b) 0
The problem says that the surface is frictionless: this means that no friction is acting on the sled, therefore the energy dissipated by friction must be zero.
(c) 69.3 J
According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by the applied force is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the sled:
where
is the change in kinetic energy
W is the work done
Since we already calculated W in part (a):
W = 69.3 J
We therefore know that the change in kinetic energy of the sled is equal to this value:
(d) 4.9 m/s
The change in kinetic energy of the sled can be rewritten as:
(1)
where
Kf is the final kinetic energy
Ki is the initial kinetic energy
m = 5.50 kg is the mass of the sled
u = 0 is the initial speed of the sled
v = ? is the final speed of the sled
We can calculate the variation of kinetic energy of the sled, , after it has travelled for d=3 m. Using the work-energy theorem again, we find
And substituting into (1) and re-arrangin the equation, we find
