In a circus performance, a monkey is strapped to a sled and both are given an initial speed of 3.0 m/s up a 22.0° inclined track

. The combined mass of monkey and sled is 14 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between sled and incline is 0.20. How far up the incline do the monkey and sled move?

Answer:

Approximately 0.31\; \rm m, assuming that g = 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial kinetic energy of the sled and its passenger:

\begin{aligned}\text{KE} &= \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^{2} \\ &= \frac{1}{2} \times 14\; \rm kg \times (3.0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1})^{2} \\ &= 63\; \rm J\end{aligned} .

Weight of the slide:

\begin{aligned}W &= m \cdot g \\ &= 14\; \rm kg \times 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} \\ &\approx 137\; \rm N\end{aligned}.

Normal force between the sled and the slope:

\begin{aligned}F_{\rm N} &= W\cdot  \cos(22^{\circ}) \\ &\approx 137\; \rm N \times \cos(22^{\circ}) \\ &\approx 127\; \rm N\end{aligned}.

Calculate the kinetic friction between the sled and the slope:

\begin{aligned} f &= \mu_{k} \cdot F_{\rm N} \\ &\approx 0.20\times 127\; \rm N \\ &\approx 25.5\; \rm N\end{aligned}.

Assume that the sled and its passenger has reached a height of h meters relative to the base of the slope.

Gain in gravitational potential energy:

\begin{aligned}\text{GPE} &= m \cdot g \cdot (h\; {\rm m}) \\ &\approx 14\; {\rm kg} \times 9.81\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}} \times h\; {\rm m} \\ & \approx (137\, h)\; {\rm J} \end{aligned}.

Distance travelled along the slope:

\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{h}{\sin(22^{\circ})} \\ &\approx \frac{h\; \rm m}{0.375}\end{aligned}.

The energy lost to friction (same as the opposite of the amount of work that friction did on this sled) would be:

\begin{aligned} & - (-x)\, f \\ = \; & x \cdot f \\ \approx \; & \frac{h\; {\rm m}}{0.375}\times 25.5\; {\rm N} \\ \approx\; & (68.1\, h)\; {\rm J}\end{aligned}.

In other words, the sled and its passenger would have lost (approximately) ((137 + 68.1)\, h)\; {\rm J} of energy when it is at a height of h\; {\rm m}.

The initial amount of energy that the sled and its passenger possessed was \text{KE} = 63\; {\rm J}. All that much energy would have been converted when the sled is at its maximum height. Therefore, when h\; {\rm m} is the maximum height of the sled, the following equation would hold.

((137 + 68.1)\, h)\; {\rm J} = 63\; {\rm J}.

Solve for h:

(137 + 68.1)\, h = 63.

\begin{aligned} h &= \frac{63}{137 + 68.1} \approx 0.31\; \rm m\end{aligned}.

Therefore, the maximum height that this sled would reach would be approximately 0.31\; \rm m.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

|T- 98.6| \geq 3

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:

Solution 1

T -98.6 \leq -3

And solving for T we got:

T \leq 98.6- 3

T\leq 95.6

Solution 2

And the other options would be:

T -98.6 \geq 3

T \geq 101.6

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the variable os interest T as the real temperature and we know that if we are 3 F more than the value of 98.6 we will be unhealthy so we can set up the following equation:

|T- 98.6| \geq 3

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:

Solution 1

T -98.6 \leq -3

And solving for T we got:

T \leq 98.6- 3

T\leq 95.6

Solution 2

And the other options would be:

T -98.6 \geq 3

T \geq 101.6

* Is a Binomial

b) The SJSU football team will play 12 games next season. They have a 70% chance of winning each conference game and a 60% chance of winning each nonconference game. Let X be the number of games the SJSU football team wins next season.

* Not a Binomial because probability of success is not constant

c) Evelyn has a 75% chance of getting an A in each class she takes. Let X be the number of times Evelyn earns an A during four years at SJSU.

* Is a Binomial
