Answer:

7.7 N

Explanation:

From Newton's second law:

∑F = m a

Force equals mass times change in velocity over time:

F = m (Δv / Δt)

Substituting the values:

F = 55 kg × (2.8 m/s - 3.5 m/s) / 5 s

F = -7.7 N

The absolute value, representing the magnitude of kinetic friction, is 7.7 Newtons.

In pottery class, you throw a pot from a lump of wet clay. your pot's mass is 5.5 kg. after the pot is fired, it's mass is 4.9 k
ValentinkaMS [3465]

To find the volume, we can utilize the ratio of mass to density, as shown by:

volume = mass / density

 

A. when mass = 5.5 kg = 5500 g; density = 1.60 g/cm^3

volume = 5500 g / (1.60 g/cm^3)

resulting in volume = 3,437.5 cm^3

By rounding according to significant digits:

volume = 3,400 cm^3 = 3.4 L

 

B. when mass = 4.9 kg = 4900 g; density = 1.36 g/cm^3

volume = 4900 g / (1.36 g/cm^3)

calculating gives volume = 3,602.94 cm^3

Considering significant digits:

<span>volume = 3,600 cm^3 = 3.6 L</span>

For a given initial projectile speed Vo, calculate what launch angle A gives the longest range R. Show your work, don't just quo
ValentinkaMS [3465]
The ideal launch angle of 45° for achieving the greatest horizontal distance is only applicable when the starting height matches the final height. 

<span>In this scenario, you can demonstrate it as follows: </span>

<span>the initial velocity is Vo </span>
<span>the launch angle is α </span>

<span>the initial vertical velocity is </span>
<span>Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>

<span>horizontal velocity becomes </span>
<span>Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>

<span>the total flight duration is the period required to return to a height of 0 m, thus </span>
<span>d = v×t + a×t²/2 </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>d = distance = 0 m </span>
<span>v = initial vertical velocity = Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>
<span>t = time =? </span>
<span>a = gravitational acceleration = g (= -9.8 m/s²) </span>
<span>therefore </span>
<span>0 = Vo×sin(α)×t + g×t²/2 </span>
<span>0 = (Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2)×t </span>
<span>t = 0 (obviously, the projectile is at height 0 m at time = 0s) </span>
<span>or </span>
<span>Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2 = 0 </span>
<span>t = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>

<span>Now let's examine the horizontal distance. </span>
<span>r = v × t </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>r = horizontal range =? </span>
<span>v = horizontal velocity = Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>
<span>t = time = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>
<span>therefore </span>
<span>r = (Vo×cos(α)) × (-2×Vo×sin(α)/g) </span>
<span>r = -(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g </span>

<span>To find the extreme points of r (max or min) with respect to α, the first derivative of r with regards to α must be determined and set to 0. </span>

<span>dr/dα = d[-(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × d[sin(2α)] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × cos(2α) × d(2α) / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -2 × (Vo)² × cos(2α) / g </span>

<span>As Vo and g are constants that are not equal to 0, the only solution for dr/dα to equal 0 is when </span>
<span>cos(2α) = 0 </span>
<span>2α = 90° </span>
<span>α = 45° </span>

Suppose that an owner of the same dog breed has also taken some measurements. They notice that the surface area of the dog has i
inna [3103]

Answer:

The surface area of the dog changes from A to 3A

Explanation:

It is stated that the dog's surface area has increased by a factor of 3 over four years.

We need to calculate the change in the relative surface area of the dog over this timeframe.

Let’s assume the initial surface area is A.

Since the surface area has been multiplied by 3,

it follows that the surface area after four years is equal to 3×A = 3A.

Thus, the dog's surface area transitions from A to 3A.

A car drives 215 km east and then 45 km north. What is the magnitude of the car’s displacement? Round your answer to the nearest
Ostrovityanka [3204]
The Pythagorean Theorem can be utilized here: Imagine a car navigating through traffic—when it turns left to travel north, a right angle of 90 degrees is formed. However, the displacement is always the shortest distance connecting the origin and the endpoint, which forms a triangle in this scenario. In a right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem applies: 215^2+45^2=c^2; therefore, v=√(215^2+45^2).
