A girl is sledding down a slope that is inclined at 30º with respect to the horizontal. The wind is aiding the motion by providi

ng a steady force of 148 N that is parallel to the motion of the sled. The combined mass of the girl and the sled is 75.7 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and the runners of the sled is 0.299. How much time is required for the sled to travel down a 124-m slope, starting from rest?

Answer:

 travel time is 7.58 s

Explanation:

We must know the acceleration of the sled and the girl, for this we must use Newton's second law

      F = m a

Since this is a vector equation, let's separate it into its xy components, the best selection of the coordinate system is the X axis parallel to the plane and the Y axis perpendicular to it.

In the attached you can see a free body diagram of this situation, let's write Newton's equations on each axis

X axis

      Wx + F - fr = m a            (1)

Axis y

     N- Wy = 0

     N = Wy

Let's use trigonometry to find the weight components

    Wx = W sin θ

    Wy = W cos θ

In addition, the formula for friction force is

    fr = n N

Let's clear the acceleration of equation 1

   

    a = (W sin θ + F - m N) / m

    a = (mg sin θ + F - m mg cos θ) / m

    a = g (sin θ -m cos θ) + F / m

Let's replace and calculate

    a = 9.8 (sin 30 - 0.299 cos 30) + 148 / 75.7

    a = 2.36 + 1.96

    a = 4,317 m / s²

We already have the acceleration, the speed is zero to leave the rest (Vo = 0) and give the length that runs 124 m, let's use the kinematic equations

   x = v₀ t + ½ a t²

   x = ½ a t²

   t² = 2x / a

  t = √ 2x / a

 

Let's calculate

  t = √( 2 124 / 4,317) = √ 57.45

  t = 7.58 s

Answer:

0.256 hours

Explanation:

<u>Vectors in the plane </u>

We know Office A is walking at 5 mph directly south. Let X_A be its distance. In t hours he has walked

X_A=5t\ \text{miles}

Office B is walking at 6 mph directly west. In t hours his distance is

X_B=6t\ \text{miles}

Since both directions are 90 degrees apart, the distance between them is the hypotenuse of a triangle which sides are the distances of each office

D=\sqrt{X_A^2+X_B^2}

D=\sqrt{(5t)^2+(6t)^2}

D=\sqrt{61}t

This distance is known to be 2 miles, so

\sqrt{61}t=2

t =\frac{2}{\sqrt{61}}=0.256\ hours

t is approximately 15 minutes

Approximately how many kelvins are equal to 60°f? <br> a. 333 <br> b. 323 <br> c. 413 <br> d. 289
Afina-wow [57]
D. 289
Take the formula:
K=5/9(Fahrenheit-32)+273
Plug in Fahrenheit
K=5/9 (60-32)+273
From here it is simple math and you can plug it into your calculator getting 288.5555556 and round to 289

A geologist sees a fault along which blocks of rock in the footwall have moved higher relative to blocks of rock in the hanging
Luda [366]

Answer: Normal fault

Explanation:

The type of fault that is explained above is a normal fault. We should note that normal faults typically takes place in a divergent boundary in a scenario where the crusts may have been pulled apart.

Since the crust is pulled apart in this case, it leads to the downward movement of the hanging wall which leads to the football being above the hanging wall.

Use Snell's Law to solve the following:
azamat

Answer:

1.171

Explanation:

if n₁sinΘ₁=n₂sinΘ₂, then n₂=n₁sinΘ₁ / sinΘ₂;

n_2=\frac{1.5*sin45}{sin65}=\frac{1.5*0.707}{0.906} =1.1705
