Answer:

1568 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 80 Kg

Distance (d) = 5 m

Coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) = 0.4

Workdone (Wd) =?

Next, we shall determine the normal reaction. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 80 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Normal reaction (N) =?

N = mg

N = 80 × 9.8

N = 784 N

Next, we shall determine force of friction. This can be obtained as follow:

Coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) = 0.4

Normal reaction (N) = 784 N

Force of friction (F) =?

F = μN

F = 0.4 × 784

F = 313.6 N

Finally, we shall determine the work done. This can be obtained as follow:

Distance (d) = 5 m

Force of friction (F) = 313.6 N

Workdone (Wd) =?

Wd = F × d

Wd = 313.6 × 5

Wd = 1568 J

Thus, the workdone is 1568 J

what is the initial velocity of a go-kart traveling at a uniform acceleration of 0.5 m/s^2 for 5s as it slows down to a stop?​
timurjin [86]

The initial velocity of go-kart is 2.5 m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Here, the uniform acceleration of go-kart is given as 0.5 m/s². Also the time required by it to stop is also given as 5 s. As acceleration is the measure of change in velocity per unit time.

In this case, the velocity should be changed from a value to zero to come to rest. So the initial velocity will be positive value and final velocity is zero.

As we know the values of acceleration, final velocity and time, the initial velocity can be easily determined as follows.

Acceleration = \frac{Final velocity -Initial velocity}{Time}

Since, final velocity is zero, acceleration is 0.5 m/s² and time is 5 s, then,

        -0.5=\frac{-\text {Initial velocity}}{5}

        Initial velocity = 0.5 × 5 = 2.5 m/s.

So the initial velocity of go-kart is 2.5 m/s.

As blood passes through the capillary bed in an organ, the capillaries join to form venules (small veins). If the blood speed in
Semenov [28]

Answer:

A_2 = 2.5\ cm^2

Explanation:

given,

velocity factor = 4

Cross-sectional area of venules(A₁) = 10 cm²

cross sectional area of capillaries(A_2) = ?

continuity equation = Q = AV

now,

\dfrac{A_1}{A_2} = \dfrac{V_2}{V_1}

\dfrac{10}{A_2} =4

\dfrac{10}{4} =A_2

A_2 = 2.5\ cm^2

hence, the area of capillaries is equal to 2.5 cm₂

What is the difference in the speed of the generator with a small magnet and a generator with a large magnet?
Delvig [45]
With a small magnet with a generator it will be taken up quickly because how small it is while with a big generator it would take more force for it for the generator to attach because the larger the magnet that heavier it will be because it is attached to the North Pole magnet

How does the frequency of sound relate to its pitch?
madreJ [45]
Good afternoon!
the answer to that particular question is this
rule
a particular pitch directly corresponds to frequency in that if you have a pitch you will have a high frequency
if you a low frequency you will have a low pitch
both are intertwined in marriage!
