A boy is pulling his two sisters on a sled.

Physics
1 answer:
OlgaM077 [116]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The oly way we can figure this out is if the boy is pulling the sled at a constant velocity. If not, we need a value for acceleration, and you don't have that here. If the boy is pulling the sled at a constant velocity, then the value for acceleration is 0, making this a really simple problem. I'm going with that, since there is no way to answer you otherwise. If velocity is not constant, please either repost the question or put it in the notes section under the question as it stands. If acceleration is 0, then

F - f = ma becomes

F - f = m(0) which is

F - f = 0 and

F = f which says that the applied force is the same as the frictional force. We need then to find the frictional force, which has an equation of

f = μF_n where normal force is the same as the weight of the 2 girls. We will find that, then:

Each girl's mass is different so the normal force/weight equation is

w = (30.0)(9.8) + (40.0)(9.8) to get

w = 290 + 390 and

w = 680. Plug that into the frictional force equation:

f = (.120)(680) so

f = 82N

Black widow (m=57000 g) shovels snow, holding the shovel at a 40 degree angle above the ground. If she uses a constant force of
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

She does a work of 689.44 J in the snow.

Explanation:

A force is said to do work when it alters the state of motion of a body. The work of the force on that body will be equivalent to the energy needed to move it.

In other words, Work is a form of energy transmission between bodies. In order to carry out work, a force must be exerted on a body and it must move.

The work is equal to the product of the force times the distance and the cosine of the angle that exists between the direction of the force and the direction that the moving point or object travels:

W= F*d* cos Ф

Work W is measured in joules (J), force is measured in newtons (N), and displacement in meters (m).

In this case:

  • F= 180 N
  • d=5 m
  • Ф= 40 degrees

Replacing:

W= 180 N*5 m* cos 40

Solving:

W= 689.44 J

<u><em>She does a work of 689.44 J in the snow.</em></u>

A child is sitting on the outer edge of a merry-go-round that is 1.5 m in diameter. If the merry-go-round makes 3.2 rev/min, wha
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

the velocity of the kid is 5.6 m/s

Explanation:

r is the radius and w is the frequency.

so we should know that the diameter is 18m and the diameter is equal to two times the radius, so r = 18m/2 = 9m

we should also know that the circumference of a circle is equal to c = 2pi*r, so each revolution has this length. if the kid does 5.9 revolutions in one minute then the kid spins at v = 5.9*2pi*9m/min

so we want to write this in meters per second and this means that we need to divide it by 60!

v = (5.9*2pi*9/60)m/s = 5.56 m/s

so your answer will be  5.6 m/s glad i could help!
