Answer:
work done on the object by gravitational force = 0 joules
Explanation:
work = force × displacement
force = mass × acceleration
so,
work = mass × acceleration × displacement
we know that mass= 10 kg , gravitational acceleration= 9.8
and displacement= 0 m since the object is not moving vertically.
so,
work = 10 × 9.8 × 0 = 0 joules
Answer:
7 m/s
Explanation:
To solve this problem you must use the conservation of energy.
That math speak for, initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy equals final kinetic energy plus final potential energy.
The initial PE (potential energy) is 0 because it hasn't been raised in the air yet. The final KE (kinetic energy) is 0 because it isn't moving. This gives the following:
K1=U2
Solve for v
Input known values and you get 7 m/s.
Answer:
The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.13
Explanation:
Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force on it, the factor of proportionality is the mass. So, we can express that law mathematically as:
(1)
With F the net force, m the mass and a the acceleration of the object. In our case we're interested on what's happening to the sled, then we have to analyze the forces on it, those forces are the weight and the normal force on the vertical direction and the pulling force and frictional force in the horizontal direction. So, because (1) is a vector equation we can express that in their vertical (y) and horizontal (x) components:
(2)
(3)
On y we have that the acceleration is zero because the sled is not moving upward or downward, remember that the net force on y is the weight (W) pointing downward and the normal force pointing upward:
Following the convention that positive is upward and negative downward, W=mg=(755)(-9.81):
(4)
Now on the x direction we have the sum of the forces is the pulling force (T) and friction force (f)
Choosing the direction where the horse is pulling F=1988N and the acceleration should be positive too, then:
The negative sign means it's in the opposite direction the horse is pulling
The frictional force is related with the coefficient of kinetic friction in the next way:
with μk the coefficient of kinetic friction, and n the normal force that we already found on (4), so we simply solve the last equation for μk:
Give u = start velocity
v = end velocity
v = u + at
50 = 400 + a*30
30a = -350
a = -116.67 m/
**Why the accecleration is negative number**
Because displacement, velocity, and acceleration are VECTOR QUANTITIES.
Vector Quantity must have direction.
