A skier is moving down a snowy hill with an acceleration of 0.40 m/s2. The angle of the slope is 5.0∘ to the horizontal. What is

the acceleration of the same skier when she is moving down a hill with a slope of 10 ∘? Assume the coefficient of kinetic friction is the same in both cases.

Answer:

1.25377 m/s²

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

\mu = Coefficient of friction

\theta = Slope

From Newton's second law

mgsin\theta-f=ma\\\Rightarrow mgsin\theta-\mu mgcos\theta=ma\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{gsin\theta-a}{gcos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{9.81\times sin5-0.4}{9.81\times cos5}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.04655

Applying \mu to the above equation and \theta=10^{\circ}

mgsin\theta-\mu mgcos\theta=ma\\\Rightarrow a=gsin\theta-\mu gcos\theta\\\Rightarrow a=9.81\times sin10-0.04655\times 9.81\times cos10\\\Rightarrow a=1.25377\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the same skier when she is moving down a hill is 1.25377 m/s²

You want to move a heavy box with mass 30.0 kg across a carpeted floor. You pull hard on one of the edges of the box at an angle
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

a=5.54m/s^{2}

Explanation:

The net force, F_{net} of the box is expressed as a product of acceleration and mass hence

F_{net}=ma where m is mass and a is acceleration

Making a the subject, a= \frac {F_{net}}{m}

From the attached sketch,  

∑ F_{net}=Fcos\theta-F_{f} where F_{f} is frictional force and \theta is horizontal angle

Substituting ∑ F_{net} as F_{net} in the equation where we made a the subject

a= \frac {Fcos\theta-F_{f}}{m}

Since we’re given the value of F as 240N, F_{f} as 41.5N, \theta as 30^{o} and mass m as 30kg

a= \frac {240cos30-41.5}{30.0}=\frac {166.346}{30.0}=5.54m/s^{2}

Betelgeuse is the bright red star representing the left shoulder of the constellation Orion. All the following statements about
Sav [38]

Answer:

Option A; ITS SURFACE IS COOLER THAN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN.

Explanation:

A red supergiant star is a larger and brighter type of red giant star. Red supergiants are often variable stars and are between 200 to 2,000 times bigger than the Sun. Example is Betelgeuse.

Betelgeuse is one of the largest known stars, it has a diameter of about 700 times the size of the Sun or 600 million miles, it emits almost 7,500 times as much energy as the Sun, it has a rather low surface temperature (6000F compared to the Sun's 10,000F); this means that it has a more cooler surface than the Sun's surface.

This low temperature also means that the star will appear orange-red in color, and the combination of size and temperature makes it a kind of star called a red super giant.

Although, all the statements above are correct, the only one that can be inferred from the red color of Betelgeuse is that ITS SURFACE IS COOLER THAN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN.

A student observes that for the same net force heavier objects accelerate less which statement describes the correct conclusion?
rodikova [14]

Answer: A decrease in acceleration causes the mass to increase.

Explanation:

Let's rewrite this as:

"For a constant force F, we can see that heavier objects accelerate less"

Then, as the mass increases, the acceleration of the object decreases.

This is known as an inverse relationship between acceleration and mass.

By second Newton's law we have that:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

So if the force is constant, we can write it as:

a = F/m.

In this equation, we can see that, if the acceleration decreases and F remains constant, then the mass m must increase (because it is in the denominator)

Then the correct option is:

A decrease in acceleration causes the mass to increase.

A radioactive source has a half life of 80s.
Burka [1]
Lets make the original number of nuclides at the start is 100.

If 7/8 of 100 is decayed, that means 87.5 decayed.

\frac{7}{8} \times 100 = 87.5

And there is 1/8 left of the number of nuclide 100. Which is 12.5

100 - 87.5 =12.5

\frac{1}{8} \times 100 = 12.5

How many Half lifes passed for 100 to become 12.5 is 3 Half-Lives.

100 \div 2 \div 2 \div 2 = 12.5

Each Half-Life is 80 seconds so there is 240 seconds

3 \times 80 = 240The answer is that it takes 240 seconds.
