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

14.A 90 kg quarterback gets tackled by being hit by a 120 kg lineman backwards
quester [9]

The acceleration of the quarterback and the lineman is 5.55m/s² and 4.16m/s² respectively in the same direction.

As, we know, the 120 Kg lineman is moving with a force of 500N.

His net acceleration will be in the same direction as his motion.

It is already known that, If M is the mass of the body and a is the acceleration of the body, then the force F on the body can be calculated by using the formula,

F = Ma.

The weight of the quarterback is 90 Kg. He is being hit by a force of 500N.

So, the acceleration can be calculated using the formula,

500N = 90kg x a

a = 5.55 m/s².

Now, the weight if the lineman is 120kg, the force applied by him is 500N.

So, from the formula, his acceleration A will be,

500N = 120Kg x A

A = 4.16 m/s².

both of them will have acceleration in the same direction,

The weight of an object on Earth is 350 newtons. On Mars, the same object would weigh 134 newtons. What is the acceleration due
sineoko [7]
W = mg = 350 newton
m = W/g = 350/9.8 = 35.71 kg
on mars
W = mg = 134 newton
g = W/m = 134/35.71 = 3.75 meters/second2

Which statement best defines inertia? An object's motion is unaffected by any external forces acting upon it. An object responds
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

An object responds to a force by tending to move in the direction of that force

Explanation:

The inertia of a body can be defined with the help of Newton's second law

          F = m a

Where F is the applied force, a is the acceleration of the body and m is the mass

the force and the acceleration are vectors that point in the same direction and m is a scalar constant that relates the two vectors, this scalar constant is called masses and it measures the resistance of the bodies to the change of motion.

From the previous statement we see that the statement that best describes inertia is:

An object responds to force by tending to move in the direction of the force.

How does adding more of a substance affect it's density?
fomenos
I’m going to use molasses as an example of a substance.

The mass and volume both change when changing the amount of molasses.
However, the density does not change. This is because the mass and volume increase at the same rate/proportion!

Even though there is more molasses (mass) in test tube A, the molasses also takes up more space (volume). Therefore, the spacing between those tiny particles that make up the molasses is constant (does not change).

The size or amount of a material/substance does not affect its density.

Suppose that two point charges, each with a charge of +3.00 Coulomb are separated by a distance of 3.00 meters. Determine the ma
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

9\cdot 10^9 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrical force between the two point charges is

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q_1 =q_2 = +3.0 C is the magnitude of each charge

r = 3.00 m is the separation between the two charges

Substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

F=(9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(+3 C)^2}{(3.00 m)^2}=9\cdot 10^9 N
