A shuffleboard disk is accelerated to a speed of 5.8 m/s and released. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the disk and the concrete court is 0.31, how far does the disk go before it comes to a stop?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5.53 m

Explanation:

[tex]v_{o}[/tex] = initial speed of  shuffleboard disk = [tex]5.8 ms^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]v_{f}[/tex] = final speed of  shuffleboard disk = [tex]0 ms^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]\mu[/tex] = Coefficient of kinetic friction between the disk and concrete court = 0.31

acceleration due to friction is given as

[tex]a = - \mu g\\a = - (0.31) (9.8)\\a = - 3.04 ms^{-2}[/tex]

[tex]d[/tex] = distance traveled by disk before it stops

using the kinematics equation that fits the above the data, we have

[tex]v_{f}^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2 a d\\0^{2} = 5.8^{2} + 2 (- 3.04) d\\d = 5.53 m[/tex]

Answer:

5.54 meters

Explanation:

First you need to derive the equation to find acceleartion.

STEP BY STEP:

Fnet=Fn-mg-Fk

Fnet=ma so we can say:

ma=Fn-mg-Fk

(Fn=mg) and (Fk= μFn)

ma=mg-mg-(μmg)

divide by m on all sides and get

a=g-g-(μg)

since we know that Fn=mg we can replace Fn by mg^

a=g-g-(μg)

a=g(-μ+1-1)

a=g(-μ) or a=-μg

so you have your equation for acceleartion find your a and put it into the equation  and get -3.038

Vf^2=Vi^2+2ad

0^2=5.8^2+2(-3.038)d

Solving for d we get 5.54 meters
