Under the influence of its drive force, a snowmobile is moving at a constant velocity along a horizontal patch of snow. When the

Answer:

a) Δx = 11.6 m

b) t = 3.9 s

Explanation:

Since the snowmobile is moving at constant speed, and the drive force is 195 N, this means that thereis another force equal and opposite acting on it, according to Newton's 2nd Law, due to there is no acceleration present in the horizontal direction .
This force is just the force of kinetic friction, and is equal to -195 N (assuming the positive direction as the direction of the movement).
Once the drive force is shut off, the only force acting on the snowmobile remains the friction force.
According Newton's 2nd Law, this force is causing a negative acceleration (actually slowing down the snowmobile) that can be found as follows:

$a = \frac{F_{fr} }{m} = \frac{-195N}{128kg} = -1.5 m/s2 (1)$

Assuming the friction force keeps constant, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the distance traveled under this acceleration before coming to an stop, as follows:

$v_{f} ^{2} -v_{o} ^{2} = 2* a* \Delta x (2)$

Taking into account that vf=0, replacing by the given (v₀) and a from (1), we can solve for Δx, as follows:

$\Delta x =- \frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2*a} =- \frac{(5.90m/s)^{2}}{2*(-1.5m/s2)} = 11.6 m (3)$

We can find the time needed to come to an stop, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

$v_{f} = v_{o} + a*\Delta t (4)$

Since we have already said that the snowmobile comes to an stop, this means that vf = 0.
Replacing a and v₀ as we did in (3), we can solve for Δt as follows:

$\Delta t = \frac{-v_{o} }{a} = \frac{-5.9m/s}{-1.5m/s2} = 3.9 s (5)$

Answer:

Number of neautrons

Explanation:

Atoms from two different elements may have the same number of neutrons, but never the same number of protons. The number of protons is unique to the element and represents the atomic number. (sorcastic.org)

PLEASE HELPPPPPPPP

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

I think this is AWESOME, but I think the last sentence of your conclusion is a bit off. <span> "If someone has an allergy to oil then they can still eat cake because applesauce makes an amazing substitute for oil." I think that you should say "This recipe is great for those who cannot eat/drink oil, the applesauce is an amazing substitute for oil."

I hope I helped! -Wajiha</span>
