The force of friction is 399.7 N

Explanation:

The force of friction acting on the bear is given by

F_f=\mu N (1)

where

\mu=0.05 is the coefficient of friction

N is the normal reaction exerted by the plane on the bear

The normal reaction can be  found by analyzing the forces acting in the direction perpendicular to the plane: in fact, the bear is in equilibrium along this direction, so the normal reaction must balance the component of the weight perpendicular to the plane:

N=mg cos \theta

where:

m = 900 kg is the mass of the bear

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\theta=25^{\circ} is the angle of the incline

Substituting everything into (1), we find the force of friction:

F=(0.05)(900)(9.8)(cos 25)=399.7 N

Answer:

6.18 m/s

Explanation:

Roller skate collision

The final direction of the system (me=M + person=P) velocity vector is at an angle; Ф, to the direction running south to north. Apply the component form of the impulse-momentum equation, firstly;

x-axis component form (+x east);

P_{Miy} + p_{Piy} + j_{y}= P_{Mfy} +P_{pfy}

m_{Mu_{Miy}+ m_{pu_{piy}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} sinФ

60 ·8 + 0 = (60 + 80)V_{f}sinФ

480 = 140V_{f} sinФ................. (I)

y-axis component form (+y north);

P_{Mix} + p_{Pix} + j_{x} = P_{Mfx}+ P_{pfx}

m_{Mu_{Mix}+ m_{pu_{pix}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} cosФ

0 + 80.9 = (60 + 80)V_{f}cosФ

 720= 140V_{f}cosФ

140Vf=\frac{720}{cos}Ф......................................(2)

 Substituting (2) into (1) to give the angle;

 480 = 720tan Ф

Ф = arctan(0.67) =33.69°.......................(3)

Evaluating (1) with (3) gives the velocity magnitude

480 = 140Vfsin 33.69°

Vf=6.18 m/s

note 1:

This angle corresponds to a direction; 90° - 33.69° = 56.31° north of east.

A common carnival ride, called a gravitron, is a large r = 11 m cylinder in which people stand against the outer wall. the cylin
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

 v = 13.19 m / s

Explanation:

This problem must be solved using Newton's second law, we create a reference system where the x-axis is perpendicular to the cylinder and the Y-axis is vertical

 

X axis

       N = m a

Centripetal acceleration is

       a = v² / r

Y Axis

      fr -W = 0

      fr = W

The force of friction is

     fr = μ N

Let's calculate

    μ (m v² / r) = mg

   μ v² / r = g

   v² = g r / μ

   v = √ (g r /μ)

   v = √ (9.8 11 / 0.62)

   v = 13.19 m / s

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m.how much work
aksik [14]
It is required an infinite work. The additional electron will never reach the origin.

In fact, assuming the additional electron is coming from the positive direction, as it approaches x=+1.00 m it will become closer and closer to the electron located at x=+1.00 m. However, the electrostatic force between the two electrons (which is repulsive) will become infinite when the second electron reaches x=+1.00 m, because the distance d between the two electrons is zero:
F=k_e  \frac{q_e q_e}{d^2}
So, in order for the additional electron to cross this point, it is required an infinite amount of work, which is impossible.

What type of wave cannot travel in a vacuum
lions [1.4K]

A sound wave. Because in a vacuum there is no medium in a vacuum. And the only wave that requires a medium to travel through is a sound wave.
