Unbeknownst to the students, every time the school floors are waxed, Mr. Tracy, the principal, likes to slide down the Hallway in his socks. Mr. Tracy weighs 85 kg and the coefficient of sliding friction between his socks and the floor is 0.120. What is the force of friction that opposes Mr. Tracy's motion down the hall?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

f = 99.96 N

Explanation:

Weight of Mr. Tracy, W = 85 kg

The coefficient of sliding friction between his socks and the floor is 0.12.

We need to find the force of friction that opposes Mr. Tracy's motion down the hall.

The force of friction is given by :

[tex]f=\mu mg\\\\f=0.12\times 85\times 9.8\\\\f=99.96\ N[/tex]

So, the required force of friction is 99.96 N.

What is the height of the counter where a 4 kg fruit basket sits that has 30 J of gravitational potential energy? h= GPE/am

Answers

Answer:

0.765m

Explanation:

gravitational potential energy GPE = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height

Given

GPE = 30Joules

Mass m = 4kg

acceleration = 9.8m/s²

Required

Height h

From the formula

h = GPE/mg

h = 30/4(9.8)

h = 30/39.2

h = 0.765m\

Hence the height of the counter is 0.765m

Suppose you bake a potato in a toaster oven that uses 1.2 kW. The oven is turned on for 25 minutes. How many kilowatt hours did it use?

Answers

Answer:

0.3kilowatts hours

Explanation:

If you bake a potato in a toaster oven that uses 1.2 kW and oven turned on for 25minutes, to get the amount in kilowatt hour, we will need to convert minutes to hour first

60minutes = 1hr

25minutes = x

60x = 25

x = 25/60 hr

x =

Multiply the time in hr with the power

Amount of kWhr used = 1.2 * 25/60

Amount of kWhr used = 30/60

Amount of kWhr used  = 0.3kilowatts hours

Hence it used 0.3kilowatts hours

A weight of 4.0 N is used to extend a spring. The extension of the spring is 0.06 m. (i) Calculate the spring constant, k, of the spring.

(ii) State what measurements should be made to determine the extension of the spring produced by the 4.0 N weight.

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Hookes law states that; the displacement due to a stretching force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the deforming force.

F = ke

F = deforming force

k = force constant

e = extention

k = F/e

k = 4N/0.06 m= 66.67 Nm^-1

To determine the extension of the spring produced by the 4.0 N weight

1) We measure the original length of the spring

2) We measure the length after hanging the 4 N mass

3) Subtract the new length from the original length to determine the extention.

According to the article, why might acting happy actually make one happy?

Answers

Answer: mirror neurons are the reason people usually reflect the behavior of those around them and have been linked to the ability to empathize. People are attracted to happy people because it seems to boost our mood.

Explanation:

Answer:

Some psychologists think that you can trick your brain into feeling happy by acting happy. Acting happy might actually make one happy by mirror neurons. This is the reason people usually reflect the behavior of those around them and have been linked to the ability to empathize. People are attracted to happy people because it seems to boost our mood. The three components of emotion are cognitive, physiological, and behavioral. There is actually some scientific evidence to suggest that smiling, even when you are not feeling happy, can make you happy. This idea is called the facial feedback hypothesis. Happiness, and smiling, can also be contagious and make others around them want to smile. People often mimic the facial expressions of others.

A shopping cart with two nice kids, rolls off a horizontal roof ledge that is 50
meters high. The cart and nice kids land 30 meters from the base of the ledge.
How fast was the cart rolling when it left the ledge?

Answers

Answer:

9.39 m/s

Explanation:

Using the y-direction, we can solve for the time t it takes for the cart to reach the ground.

Assume the up direction is positive and the down direction is negative.

v₀ = 0 m/sa = -9.8 m/s² Δy = -50 m t = ?

Find the constant acceleration equation that contains these four variables.

Δy = v₀t + 1/2at²  

Substitute known values into this equation.

-50 = (0)t + 1/2(-9.8)t²

Multiply and simplify.

-50 = -4.9t²

Divide both sides of the equation by -4.9.

10.20408163 = t²

Square root both sides of the equation.

t = 3.194382825

Now we can use this time t and solve for v₀ in the x-direction. Time is most often our link between vertical and horizontal components of projectile motion.  

List out known variables in the x-direction.

v₀ = ?t = 3.194382825 s a = 0 m/s²Δx = 30 m

Find the constant acceleration equation that contains these four variables.

Δx = v₀t + 1/2at²  

Substitute known values into the equation.

30 = (v₀ · 3.194382825) + 1/2(0)(3.194382825)²

Multiply and simplify.

30 = v₀ · 3.194382825

Divide both sides of the equation by 3.194382825.

v₀ = 9.391485505

The cart was rolling at a velocity of 9.39 m/s (initial velocity) when it left the ledge.

Answer:

9.39 m/s

Explanation:

Using the y-direction, we can solve for the time t it takes for the cart to reach the ground.

Assume the up direction is positive and the down direction is negative.

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Δy = -50 m

t = ?

Find the constant acceleration equation that contains these four variables.

Δy = v₀t + 1/2at²  

Substitute known values into this equation.

-50 = (0)t + 1/2(-9.8)t²

Multiply and simplify.

-50 = -4.9t²

Divide both sides of the equation by -4.9.

10.20408163 = t²

Square root both sides of the equation.

t = 3.194382825

Now we can use this time t and solve for v₀ in the x-direction. Time is most often our link between vertical and horizontal components of projectile motion.

Δx = v₀t + 1/2at²  

Substitute known values into the equation.

30 = (v₀ · 3.194382825) + 1/2(0)(3.194382825)²

Multiply and simplify.

30 = v₀ · 3.194382825

Divide both sides of the equation by 3.194382825.

v₀ = 9.391485505

The cart was rolling at a velocity of 9.39 m/s (initial velocity) when it left the ledge.

Consider a 2,000 kg car traveling 10 m/s toward another car.After the two cars collide, they couple together and move along at 6 m/s. What is the mass of the second car?
Can someone please solve and explain,I don’t understand:/

Answers

Answer:

I haven't learnt physics at all yet but I'll try.

After the two cars collide, they move at 6 m/s.

This tells us that the 2nd car which collided with the first car which is 2000 kg is much heavier than the 1st one, if the second one was lighter, the two cars coupled together speed would be much more than just 6 m/s.

Refer to explanation for working.

Explanation:

Now find out how much g or kg is the 2nd car more than the 1st.

2000 ÷ 10 = 200 (I don't really know how to explain this part)

10 - 6 = 4 (Difference for 1st car average speed per second and the coupled cars average speed per second)

200 x 4 = 800

2000 + 800 = 2800 kg

If 59.1 g of pure metal uses 890.9 j of energy to heat it from 26.1 c to 59.6 c, identify the metal

Answers

Answer: The metal is iron.

Explanation:

We have 59.1 grams of a given metal.

We need 890.9 joules of energy to heat the metal from 26.1°C to 59.6°C

First, we need to see the net increase in temperature, which is equal to the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature.

ΔT = 59.6°C - 26.1°C = 33.5°C

Now we can find the specific heat, which is calculated as:

c = Ε/(ΔT*m)

Where:

E = energy given to the material = 890.9 J

m = mass of the material = 59.1 gr

ΔT = change in temperature = 33.5°C

Replacing these in the above equation we get:

c = 890.9 J/(33.5°C*59.1 gr) = 0.45 J/(gr*°C)

Now we need to look at a table of specific heats and see which metal has this specific heat.

We can see that iron is the best match, so we can assume that the metal is iron.

Answers

The bicycle is a distance x away from the wall at time t according to

x = 10 m + (4 m/s) t + 1/2 (12 m/s²) t ²

so that after t = 8 s, it will be

x = 10 m + (4 m/s) (8 s) + 1/2 (12 m/s²) (8 s)² = 426 m

away from the wall.

this is the measured value (always positive) from one point to another

Answers

Answer:

Distance.

Explanation:

Motion can be defined as a change in the location (position) of a physical object or body with respect to a reference point i.e the amount of distance covered by the physical object.

This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.

Mathematically, the motion of an object is described in terms of acceleration, time, distance, speed, velocity, displacement, position, etc.

Hence, distance is the measured value (always positive) from one point to another.

Mathematically, distance is given by the formula;

Distance = speed * time

Also, the S.I unit for measuring the distance covered by a physical object is meters.
