Answer:
Explanation:
which is the final velocity minus the initial velocity in the numerator, and the change in time in the denominator. For us:
so
a = .92 m/s/s (NOT negative because you're speeding up)
Answer:
Explanation:
reading of scale = reaction force of surface R
centripetal force = R - mg = m v² / R , m is mass , v is velocity and R is radius of the circular path .
R = mg + m v² / R
given ,
m v² / R = .80 mg
v² = .80 x g x R
= .8 x 9.8 x 9 = 70.56
v = 8.4 m /s
We can calculate the acceleration of Cole due to friction using Newton's second law of motion:

where

is the frictional force (with a negative sign, since the force acts against the direction of motion) and m=100 kg is the mass of Cole and the sled. By rearranging the equation, we find

Now we can use the following formula to calculate the distance covered by Cole and the sled before stopping:

where

is the final speed of the sled

is the initial speed

is the distance covered
By rearranging the equation, we find d:
