Sam's job at the amusement park is to slow down and bring to a stop the boats in the log ride. You may want to review ( pages 29

3 - 295) . Part A If a boat and its riders have a mass of 1200 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.2 m/s how much work does Sam do to stop it?

The work that Sam should do in order to stop is the boat is the same as that of the kinetic energy of the object in order to counter its motion. Kinetic energy is calculated through the equation,
                           KE = 0.5mv²
where KE is kinetic energy, m is mass, and v is the velocity.
Substituting,
                         KE = 0.5(1200kg)(1.2 m/s)²
                            <em>KE = 864 J</em>

The amount of work done by Sam to stop the boat is \boxed{864\,{\text{J}}} .

Further Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the boat with all the riders is 1200\,{\text{kg}} .

The speed of the boat is 1.2\,{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{\text{s}}}} \right\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{\text{s}}} .

Concept:

Since the boat is drifting with some speed at some point of time, the complete energy of the boat is considered to be stored in the form of its kinetic energy. Therefore, Sam needs to put in work equal to the amount of the kinetic energy of the boat to bring it to rest.

The kinetic energy of a body is the amount of energy stored in the body by virtue of its motion. Mathematically it is shown as:

KE=\frac{1}{2}m{v^2}

Here, KE  is the kinetic energy stored in the boat, m   is the mass of the boat and v  is the speed of the boat.

Substitute the values of  m and v  in above expression.

\begin{aligned}KE&=\frac{1}{2}\times1200\times{\left( {1.2}\right)^2}\\&=\frac{{1728}}{2}\,{\text{J}}\\&=8{\text{64}}\,{\text{J}}\\\end{aligned}

Now, the amount of work required to stop the boat is equal to the kinetic energy of the boat.

\begin{aligned}W&=KE\\&=864\,{\text{J}}\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the amount of work done to bring the boat to rest is \boxed{864\,{\text{J}}} .

A box of weight 74 N is sliding on a horizontal surface at a constant velocity due to an external force F-&gt; of magnitude 4.8
n200080 [17]

Answer

4.8 N

If the box is moving with a constant velocity, then we can say that the system is in equilibrium. This is because if the external force (F->) was greater than other forces the box would be accelerating. This tells us that this force (F->) is just enough to overcome friction and so it must be equal to 4.8 N.

The normal force has no effect to the horizontal velocities or forces. It is equal to -Weight. That is -74 N. The negative sign shows that the force is in opposite direction.

Now find the components NxNxN_x and NyNyN_y of N⃗ N→N_vec in the tilted coordinate system of Part B. Express your answer in term
MArishka [77]

Answer:

N_{y} =NcosФ,

N_{x} =-Nsin Ф

Explanation:

Now find the components NxNxN_x and NyNyN_y of N⃗ N→N_vec in the tilted coordinate system of Part B. Express your answer in terms of the length of the vector NNN and the angle θθtheta, with the components separated by a comma.

Vectors are quantities that  have both magnitude and direction while scalar quantities have only magnitude but no direction.

This a vector quantity

from the diagram the horizontal component of the length of the vector will be

N_{y} =NcosФ

the vertical component will be

N_{x} =-Nsin Ф

this is in the opposite direction because the x can be extrapolated to the negative axis

When exercising in the heat, which of the following hydration strategies is best for temperature regulation during an event (e.g
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Your question was incomplete so here is the complete question and answer.

Q. When exercising in the heat, which of the following hydration strategies is best for temperature regulation during an event (e.g., 10K race)

a) plain water

b) 5-7 percent glucose solution

c) Glucose polymer solution of 6-8 percent

d) There appears to be no difference among these different forms of hydration techniques relative to temperature regulation.

Ans. d) There appears to be no difference among these different forms of hydration techniques relative to temperature regulation.

Explanation:

Temperature Regulation is an important phenomenon for the person exposed to extreme hot conditions or weather. Exercising in hot conditions increase the body temperature. Greater and intense exercise, greater the production of heat. Then the heat dissipation takes place in the form of excessive sweating which results in dehydration. That was just the brief overview of temperature regulation. Above mentioned techniques are equally good hydration techniques so there is no difference at all. You can have a plain water or glucose solutions of above mentioned percentages.
