Answer:

$u_K=0.862$

Explanation:

The force of friction between the quails feet and the ground is:

$F=m*a$

$F_K=m*a$

$F_K=u_k*m*g$

$u_K*m*g=m*a_c$

$u_K*g=a$

$u_K=\frac{a_c}{g}$

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

So the coefficient of static is solve

$u_K=\frac{\frac{v^2}{r}}{g}$

$u_K=\frac{v^2}{r*g}=\frac{(2.6m/s)^2}{0.80m*9.8m/s^2}$

$u_K=0.862$

DENIUS [597]

Its total mechanical energy is <em>2,000 J</em>.

We don't have enough information to say anything about its heat energy, its chemical energy, or the energy due to any electrical charge it may be carrying or any magnetic field it may have.

Work done against gravity to climb upwards is always stored in the form of gravitational potential energy

so we can say

$W = mgh$

here h = vertical height raised

so here we know that

$h = 14.1 sin7.3 km$

here we have

$h = 1.79 km$

now from above equation

$W = (83 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.79 \times 10^3 m)$

$W = 1.46 \times 10^6 J$

so work done will be given by above value

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: $v_f=v_0+a*t$ , where $v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $a$ the acceleration, and $t$ is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: $t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s} }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s$ , where $v_f=0\frac{m}{s}$ because the sled is totally stopped, $v_0=282\frac{m}{s}$ is the velocity of the sled before braking and, $a=-201\frac{m}{s^2}$ is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration: $x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2$ , where $x_f-x_0$ is the distance traveled, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $t$ the time of the process and, $a$ is the acceleration of the process.
