A sled of mass m is being pulled horizontally by a constant horizontal force of magnitude F. The coefficient of kinetic friction

is mu_k. During time interval t, the sled moves a distance s, starting from rest.Find the average velocity vavg of the sled during that time interval.Express your answer in terms of the given quantities and, if necessary, appropriate constants. You may or may not use all of the given quantities.

Answer:

The average velocity of the sled is vavg = s/t.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average velocity is calculated as the traveled distance over time:

vavg = Δx/Δt

Where:

vavg = average velocity.

Δx = traveled distance.

Δt = elapsed time.

We already know the traveled distance (s) and also know the time it takes the sled to travel that distance (t). Then, the average velocity can be calculated as follows:

vavg = s/t

Have a nice day!

While dangling a hairdryer by its cord, you observe that the cord is vertical when the hairdryer isoff and, once it is turned on
jekas [21]

Answer:

The speed of the air leaving the hairdryer is 10m/s.

Explanation:

The thrust that the dryer produces is what keeps it elevated at an angle of 5° from the vertical; therefore, from the force diagram we get

(1).\: tan (5^o) = \dfrac{F_t}{Mg}

putting in M =0.420kg, g = 9.8m/s^2 and solving for F_t we get:

F_t = Mg\:tan(5^o)

F_t = (0.420kg)(9.8m/s^2)\:tan(5^o)

\boxed{F_t = 0.3601N.}

Now, this thrust produced is related to to the air ejection speed v by the relation

(2).\: F_t = v\dfrac{dM}{dt}

where dM/dt is the rate of air ejection which we know is

0.06m^3/2s  = 0.03m^3/s

and since 1m^3 = 1.2kg,

0.03m^3/s \rightarrow 0.036kg/s

\dfrac{dM}{dt}  = 0.036kg/s,

putting this into equation (2) and the value of F_t we get:

0.3601N = 0.036v

which gives

v= \dfrac{0.3601}{0.036}

\boxed{v =10m/s.}

which is the speed of the air ejected.

Alyssa is carrying a water balloon while running down a field at a speed of 14 m/s. She tosses the water balloon forward toward
Luda [366]
From Alyssa's point of view, the water balloon is at first at rest and then gets thrown with a velocity of 23m/s. Therefore the balloon will have a speed of 23m/s for Alyssa.

At the same time, Naya is watching, and she sees the balloon at the beginning moving at a speed of 14m/s along with Alyssa, and then pushed forward of other 23m/s. Therefore, from her point of view, the balloon will have a speed of 14+23 = 37m/s.

Hence, the correct answer is <span>D) The speed of the balloon is 23 m/s for Alyssa and 37 m/s for Naya. </span>

If radio waves are used to communicate with an alien spaceship approaching Earth at 10% of the speed of light c, the aliens woul
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

3×10^7 m/s or 0.10c (e)

Explanation: If the actual value of the speed of light were to be put into consideration.

Given that the speed of light is c = 3.0×10^8m/s

The alien spaceship is approaching at the rate of 10% of the speed of light.

10% of 3.0×10^8m/s

10/100 × 3.0×10^8m/s

0.1 ×3.0×10^8m/s

3×10^7 m/s. Which is the same thing as 0.1 of c = 0.1×c

4. Dr. Copus is in charge of the cognition department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A new drug named Mem-Reen has beco
MrMuchimi

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<u>Independent variable</u>: Type of drug (Mem-Reen or placebo)

<u>Dependent variable</u>: memories

<u>Experimental group</u>: The group that was given Mem-Reen

<u>Control group</u>: The group that was given placebo

<u>Constants</u>: Food, hours of sleep, memory test procedures.

The independent variable is an input variable that produces effects on the dependent variable. As the variable is changed, it produces different effects on the dependent variable.

The dependent variable is the actual variable that is measured during an experiment. It is the main purpose of setting-up of an experiment.

The experimental group is also referred to as the treatment group while the control group is the group that does not receive treatment at all or they receive fake treatment/placebo.

Constants are unchanging variables included in experiments. They remain unchanged both in the treatment and the control group, otherwise, the outcome of the experiment will be unreliable.
