A sled of mass 2.12 kg has an initial speed of 5.49 m/s across a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between

Darya [45]

Answer:

The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.12 kg

Initial speed = 5.49 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.229

Distance = 3.89 m

We need to calculate the acceleration of sled

Using formula of acceleration

$a = \dfrac{F}{m}$

Where, F = frictional force

m = mass

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{\mu mg}{m}$

$a=\mu g$

$a=0.229\times9.8$

$a=2.244\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the speed of the sled

Using equation of motion

$v^2=u^2-2as$

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance

Put the value in the equation

$v ^2=(5.49)^2-2\times2.244\times3.89$

$v=\sqrt{(5.49)^2-2\times2.244\times3.89}$

$v=3.56\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s.

A cord of mass 0.65 kg is stretched between two supports 8.0 m apart. If the tension in the cord is 120 N, how long will it take

DedPeter [7]

The time taken by the pulse to travel from one support to the other is 0.208 s.

<h3>Given:</h3>

The mass of the cord is m = 0.65 kg.

The distance between the supports is, d = 8.0 m.

The tension in the cord is T = 120 N.

The time taken by the pulse to travel from one support to the other is given as,

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

$t=\frac{d}{v}$

Here, v is the linear velocity of a pulse. Its value is,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T d }{m} }$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{120 * 8}{0.65} }$

$v= 38.43 m/s$

Then,

$t=\frac{8}{38.43}$

$t=0.208 s$

Thus, the time taken by the pulse to travel from one support to the other is 0.208 s.

What is the acceleration due to gravity in a region where a simple pendulum having a length 75.000 cm has a period of 1.7357 s?

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Explanation:

T = 2π $\sqrt{L/g}$

(T / 2π)² = L/g

g = 4π²L/T²

g = 4π²(0.75000)/(1.7357)²

g = 9.82814766...

g = 9.8281 m/s²

If a range hood removes contaminants at a flow rate of F liters of air per second, then the percent P of contaminants that are

podryga [215]

Explanation:

The given value of P is as follows.

P = 1.06F + 22.18, $10 \leq F \leq 70$

or, P' = 1.06

As p' is defined and non-zero. Hence, only critical points are boundary points.

For F = 10, the value of P will be calculated as follows.

P = $1.06 \times 10 + 22.18$

= 32.78

For F = 70, the value of P will be calculated as follows.

P = $1.06 \times 70 + 22.18$

= 96.38

Therefore, the minimum value of P is 32.78 and maximum value of P is 96.38.
