Answer:
a
[tex]H =212.6 \ J[/tex]
b
[tex]v = 7.647 \ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The child's weight is [tex]W_c = 287 \ N[/tex]
The length of the sliding surface of the playground is [tex]L = 7.20 \ m[/tex]
The coefficient of friction is [tex]\mu = 0.120[/tex]
The angle is [tex]\theta = 31.0 ^o[/tex]
The initial speed is [tex]u = 0.559 \ m/s[/tex]
Generally the normal force acting on the child is mathematically represented as
=> [tex]N = mg * cos \theta[/tex]
Note [tex]m * g = W_c[/tex]
Generally the frictional force between the slide and the child is
[tex]F_f = \mu * mg * cos \theta[/tex]
Generally the resultant force acting on the child due to her weight and the frictional force is mathematically represented as
[tex]F =m* g sin(\theta) - F_f[/tex]
Here F is the resultant force and it is represented as [tex]F = ma[/tex]
=> [tex]ma = m* g sin(31.0) - \mu * mg * cos (31.0)[/tex]
=> [tex]a = g sin(31.0)- \mu * g * cos (31.0)[/tex]
=> [tex]a = 9.8 * sin(31.0) - 0.120 * 9.8 * cos (31.0)[/tex]
=>[tex]a = 4.039 \ m/s^2[/tex]
So
[tex]F_f = 0.120 * 287 * cos (31.0)[/tex]
=> [tex]F_f = 29.52 \ N[/tex]
Generally the heat energy generated by the frictional force which equivalent tot the workdone by the frictional force is mathematically represented as
[tex]H = F_f * L[/tex]
=> [tex]H = 29.52 * 7.2[/tex]
=> [tex]H =212.6 \ J[/tex]
Generally from kinematic equation we have that
[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2as[/tex]
=> [tex]v^2 = 0.559^2 + 2 * 4.039 * 7.2[/tex]
=> [tex]v = \sqrt{0.559^2 + 2 * 4.039 * 7.2}[/tex]
=> [tex]v = 7.647 \ m/s[/tex]
