A 40 kg girl and an 8.4 kg sled are on the surface of a frozen lake, 15 m apart. By means of a rope, the girl exerts a 5.2 N for
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

(a) a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}

(b) a_s=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}

(c) x_f=2.6m

Explanation:

(a) According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force exerted on it and inversely proportional to it's mass.

a_s=\frac{F}{m_s}\\a_s=\frac{5.2N}{8.4kg}\\a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}

(b) According to Newton's third law, the force that the sled exerts on the girl is equal in magnitude but opposite in the direction of the force that the girl exerts on the sled:

a_g=\frac{F}{m_g}\\a_g=\frac{5.2N}{40kg}\\a_g=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}

(c) Using the kinematics equation:

x_f=x_0+v_0t \pm  \frac{at^2}{2}

For the girl, we have x_0=0 and v_0=0. So:

x_f_g=\frac{a_gt^2}{2}(1)

For the sled, we have v_0=0. So:

x_f_s=x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}(2)

When they meet, the final positions are the same. So, equaling (1) and (2) and solving for t:

x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}=\frac{a_st^2}{2}\\t^2(a_g+a_s)=2x_0_s\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2x_s_0}{a_g+a_s}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(15m)}{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}+0.62\frac{m}{s^2}}}\\t=6.32s

Now, we solve (1) for x_f_g

x_f_g=\frac{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}(6.32s)^2}{2}\\x_f_g=2.6m\\x_f=2.6m

Which statement is true about an object that sinks in water?
bogdanovich [222]
It is about density. The less dense object will tend to float when put into the water. For example, oil is denser than water so the result of the mixture would make oil float. Sinking objects would only mean that it has an equal or greater mass than water.

The position of a charge in an electric field gives it _____electric
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The space surrounding a charged object is affected by the presence of the charge; an electric field is established in that space. A charged object creates an electric field - an alteration of the space or field in the region that surrounds it. Other charges in that field would feel the unusual alteration of the space.
