Assuming metric units, metre, kilogram and seconds
Best approach: draw a free body diagram and identify forces acting on the child, which are:
gravity, which can be decomposed into normal and parallel (to slide) components
N=mg(cos(theta)) [pressing on slide surface]
F=mg(sin(theta)) [pushing child downwards, also cause for acceleration]
m=mass of child (in kg)
g=acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2
theta=angle with horizontal = 42 degrees
Similarly, kinetic friction is slowing down the child, pushing against F, and equal to
Fr=mu*N=mu*mg(cos(theta))
mu=coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.2
The net force pushing child downwards along slide is therefore
Fnet=F-Fr
=mg(sin(theta))-mu*mg(cos(theta))
=mg(sin(theta)-mu*cos(theta)) [ assuming sin(theta)> mu*cos(theta) ]
From Newton's second law,
F=ma, or
a=F/m
=mg(sin(theta)-mu*cos(theta)) / m
= g(sin(theta)-mu*cos(theta)) [ m/s^2]
In case imperial units are used, g is approximately 32.2 feet/s^2.
and the answer will be in the same units [ft/s^2] since sin, cos and mu are pure numbers.
129.13, I believe.
Hope this helps.
i think its would be letter C. 9x7≥7
hope this helps :)
Answer:
36 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram AB = BC
4x-9 = 15
Add to both sides
4x-9+9 = 15 + 9
4x = 24
Divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = 24/4
x = 6
Hence the value of x is 6
