A 1500 kg car begins sliding down a 5.0o inclined road with a speed of 30 km/h. The engine is turned off, and the only forces ac

ting on the car are a net frictional force from the road and the gravitational force. After the car has traveled 50 m along the road, its speed is 40 km/h.
(a) How much is the mechanical energy of the car reduced because of the net frictional force?
(b) What is the magnitude of that net frictional force?

Answer:

a) -23583J

b) 471.66N

Explanation:

Using the conservation energy theorem:

K_o+U_o+W_f=K_f+U_f\\W_f=K_f+U_f-(K_o+U_o)

The height is given by:

sin(\theta)=\frac{h}{d}\\\\h=50*sin(5^o)\\h=4.36m

substituting the values we have:

W_f=\frac{1}{2}*1500kg*((40-30)\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000h.m}{3600km.s})^2+0-1500kg*9.8m/s^2*4.36m\\W_f=-23583J*

the work is defined by:

W_f=F_f*d*cos(\theta)

the force of the friction force is 180 degrees because it's opposite to the movement, so:

F_f=\frac{-23583J}{50m*cos(180)}\\F_f=471.66N

On Earth, 1 kg = 9.8 N = 2.2 lbs. On the Moon, 1 kg = 1.6 N = 0.37 lbs. Use these relationships to answer the following question
romanna [79]

Answer:

(a) 490 N on earth

(b) 80 N on earth

(c) 45.4545 kg on earth

(d) 270.27 kg on moon

Explanation:

We have given 1 kg = 9.8 N = 2.2 lbs on earth

And 1 kg = 1.6 N = 0.37 lbs on moon

(a) We have given mass of the person m = 50 kg

As it is given that 1 kg = 9.8 N

So 50 kg = 50×9.8 =490 N

(b) Mass of the person on moon = 50 kg

As it is given that on moon 1 kg = 1.6 N

So 50 kg = 50×1.6 = 80 N

(c) We have given that weight of the person on the earth = 100 lbs

As it is given that 1 kg = 2.2 lbs on earth

So 100 lbs = 45.4545 kg

(d) We have given weight of the person on moon = 100 lbs

As it is given that 1 kg = 0.37 lbs

So 100 lbs \frac{100}{0.37}=270.27kg

ONLINE CALCULATOR .A force of 187 pounds makes an angle of 73 degrees 36 ' with a second force. The resultant of the two forces
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The magnitudes of the second force is   Z = 129.9 N

The magnitudes of the  resultant force is   R = 256.047 N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The force is  F = 187 \ lb

     The angle made with second force \theta_o = 73 ^o 36' =  73 + \frac{36}{60}  =  73.6^o

     The angle between the resultant force and the first force \theta _1  = 29 ^o 1 ' = 29 + \frac{1}{60}  = 29.0167^o

For us to solve problem we are going to assume that

     The magnitude of the second force is  Z N

     The magnitude of the resultant force is R N

According to Sine rule

                \frac{F}{sin (\theta _o - \theta_1 }  = \frac{Z}{\theta _1}

Substituting values

             \frac{187}{sin(73.3 - 29.01667)} =\frac{Z}{sin (29.01667)}  

             267.82 =\frac{Z}{0.4851}  

              Z = 129.9 N

According to cosine rule

       R = \sqrt{F ^2 + Z^2 + 2(F) (Z) cos (\theta _o) }

Substituting values

     R = \sqrt{187^2 + 129.9 ^2  + 2 (187 ) (129.9) cos (73.6)}

     R = 256.047 N

describe how a physical property, such as mass or texture, can change without causing a change in the substance
kari74 [83]
On the mass subject you could simply change the weight, on the texture subject you could smooth it out like polishing fresh wood, or you could change the color of water with a drink-mix packet. Hope it helped!
