Your friend, Tim, is playing with his sled. He ties a rope to his sled and attaches it to Lar's snowmobile. Tim has a mass of 71

kg, the tension in the rope is 220 N (horizontally), and a coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.1. Unfortunately, Tim can only hang on for 8 s.
(a) What is Tim's maximum speed?

The maximum speed of Tim is 16.95 m/s.

The given parameters:

Mass of the rope, m = 71 kg
Tension on the rope, T = 220 N
Coefficient of kinetic friction, = 0.1
Time of motion, t = 8 s

<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that, the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

The net force on Tim is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

$T - \mu _k F_n = ma\\\\T - \mu _k F_n = m\frac{v}{t} \\\\T - \mu_k mg = m\frac{v}{t} \\\\t(\frac{T - \mu_k mg}{m} )= v\\\\8 (\frac{220 \ -\ 0.1 \times 71 \times 9.8}{71} ) =v \\\\ 16.95 \ m/s = v$

Thus, the maximum speed of Tim is 16.95 m/s.

How can astrophysicists tell whether a star is receding from or approaching earth?

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Doppler shift of the starlight

Explanation:

To predict the movement of a star, we compare the spectra of elements found in star (H, He Na etc.), first spectra which are obtained from star and second spectra from laboratory. If spectral lines of the spectra obtained from star, are shifting towards red end (called red shift) then star is going away from earth and if shifting is towards blue (called blue shift), then star is approaching the earth. This is Doppler's shift.

An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) whi

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The explorer should travel to reach base camp to 5.02 Km at 4.28° south of due west.

Explanation:

Using trigonometric function like Sen(Ф), Cos(Ф) and Tan(Ф) we can get distance and direction that the explorer should travel to reach base camp. When we discompound the vector $X = 7.8*Cos(50) = 5.01 Km$ y $y = 7.8 * Sen (50) - 5.6 = 5.975 - 5.6 (Km) = 0.375 (Km)$ so that $Tan (\alpha ) = \frac{0.375}{5.01} = 4.28$ ; $\alpha = Arctang (\frac{0.375}{5.01}) = 4.28 (degree)$ to get how far we use Pythagorean theorem so $R^{2} = x^{2}+y^{2}$ so that $R=\sqrt{0.375^{2}+5.01^{2} } =5.02 (Km)$

If the second harmonic of a certain string is 42 Hz, what is the fundamental frequency of the string?

sdas [7]

Data:
$f_{2} = 42 Hz$
n (Wave node)
V (Wave belly)
L (Wave length)
<span>The number of bells is equal to the number of the harmonic emitted by the string.
</span>
$f_{n} = \frac{nV}{2L}$

Wire 2 → 2º Harmonic → n = 2

$f_{n} = \frac{nV}{2L}$
$f_{2} = \frac{2V}{2L} 
$
$2V = f_{2} *2L$
$V = \frac{ f_{2}*2L }{2}$
$V = \frac{42*2L}{2}$
$V = \frac{84L}{2}$
$V = 42L$

Wire 1 → 1º Harmonic or Fundamental rope → n = 1

$f_{n} = \frac{nV}{2L}$
$f_{1} = \frac{1V}{2L}$
$f_{1} = \frac{V}{2L}$

If, We have:
V = 42L
Soon:
$f_{1} = \frac{V}{2L}$
$f_{1} = \frac{42L}{2L}$
$\boxed{f_{1} = 21 Hz}$

Answer:

<span>The fundamental frequency of the string:
</span>21 Hz
