A sled and its rider are moving at a speed of 2.2 m/s along a horizontal stretch of snow. The snow exerts a kinetic frictional force on the runners of the sled, so the sled slows down and eventually comes to a stop. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.050. What is the displacement of the sled

Respuesta :

Given :

A sled and its rider are moving at a speed of 2.2 m/s along a horizontal stretch of snow.

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.050.

To Find :

The displacement of the sled.

Solution :

Let, total mass of sled and rider is m.

So, frictional force is :

[tex]F = \mu mg[/tex]

Let, the acceleration of body is a.

So,

[tex]\mu mg = ma\\\\a = \mu g\\\\a=0.050\times 10\\\\a= 0.5\ m/s^2[/tex]

We know, by equation of motion :

[tex]2as=v^2-u^2\\\\s = \dfrac{0-2.2^2}{2\times 0.5}\\\\s=-4.84\ m[/tex]

Therefore, displacement of sled is -4.84 m.

Hence, this is the required solution.

The displacement of the sled is -4.84m

Equation of motion:

Since the speed is 2.2 m/s with a horizontal stretch of snow. And, there is The coefficient of kinetic friction i.e. 0.050.

So, here we assume the total mass of sled and rider be m

And, the acceleration should be a

So,

umg = ma

a = ug

a = 0.50*10

= 0.5m/s^2

Here we applied the equation of motion

So, 2as = v^2 - u^2

s = (0-2.2^2) / (2*0.5)

= -4.84m

Therefore, The displacement of the sled is -4.84m
