Along the remote Racetrack Playa in Death valley, California, stones sometimes gouge out prominent trails in the desert floor, a

s if they had been migrating. For years curiosity mounted about why the stones moved. One explanation was that strong winds during the occasional rainstorms would drag the rough stones over ground softened by rain. When the desert dried out, the trails behind the stones were hard-baked in place. According to measurements, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the stones and the wet playa ground is about 0.80. What horizontal force is needed on a 25 kg stone (a typical mass) to maintain the stone's motion once a gust has started it moving

Answer:

   F = 196 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law,  we define a reference system with the x axis in the direction of movement of the stones and the y axis vertically

Y axis  

       N- W = 0

       N = mg

X axis

       F -fr = ma

In this case, they ask us for the force to keep moving, so the stones go at constant speed, which implies that the acceleration is zero.

       F- fr = 0

       F = fr

the friction force has the equation

       fr = μ N

       fr = μ mg

we substitute

        F = μ mg

let's calculate

         F = 0.80 9.8 25

         F = 196 N

A roller coaster speeds up with constant acceleration for 2.3 s until it reaches a velocity of 35 m/s. During this time, the rol
Arada [10]

The initial velocity is 0.65 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the roller coaster is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t

where

s is the displacement

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time

For the roller coaster in this problem:

v = 35 m/s

t = 2.3 s

s = 41 m

Solving the equation for u, we find the initial velocity:

u=\frac{2s}{t}-v=\frac{2(41)}{2.3}-35=0.65 m/s

valkas [14]

Answer:

1 watt is 1 Joule per second. 240 watt would then be 240 joules per second. How many seconds are there in an hour? Current formula is P= IV , P is 240(not the power in an hour because the current is calculated in seconds), and V is 12V. Then you will get I, the current.
