1. 2+0.5+2.5= 3. 2km/hr average
2. 14-6=4seconds. 8m/s in 4s = 2m/s acceleration
3. 15m/s divided by 2.5 = 6m/s acceleration
Answer:
D. Satin Cloth
Explanation:
i thought it said glass, not grass lol
satin it the smoothest surface and therefore the least amount of friction.
Answer:
d = 120 [m]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must use the theorem of work and energy conservation. Where the energy in the final state (when the skater stops) is equal to the sum of the mechanical energy in the initial state plus the work done on the skater in the initial state.
The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of the potential energy plus the kinetic energy. As the track is horizontal there is no unevenness, in this way, there is no potential energy.
E₁ + W₁₋₂ = E₂
where:
E₁ = mechanical energy in the initial state [J] (units of Joules)
W₁₋₂ = work done between the states 1 and 2 [J]
E₂ = mechanical energy in the final state = 0
E₁ = Ek = kinetic energy [J]
E₁ = 0.5*m*v²
where:
m = mass = 60 [kg]
v = initial velocity = 12 [m/s]
Now, the work done is given by the product of the friction force by the distance. In this case, the work is negative because the friction force is acting in opposite direction to the movement of the skater.
W₁₋₂ = -f*d
where:
f = friction force = 36 [N]
d = distance [m]
Now we have:
0.5*m*v² - (f*d) = 0
0.5*60*(12)² - (36*d) = 0
4320 = 36*d
d = 120 [m]
Explanation:
They probably put "rolls without slipping" in there to indicate that there is no loss in friction; or that the friction is constant throughout the movement of the disk. So it's more of a contingency part of the explanation of the problem.
(Remember how earlier on in Physics lessons, we see "ignore friction" written into problems; it just removes the "What about [ ]?" question for anyone who might ask.)
In this case, you can't ignore friction because the disk wouldn't roll without it.
As far as friction producing a torque... I would say that friction is a result of the torque in this case. And because the point of contact is, presumably, the ground, the friction is tangential to the disk. Meaning the friction is linear and has no angular component.
(You could probably argue that by Newton's 3rd Law there should be some opposing torque, but I think that's outside of the scope of this problem.)
Hopefully this helps clear up the misunderstanding for you.
