Boy pulls a 5.0-kg sled with a rope that makes a 60.0° angle with respect to the horizontal surface of a frozen pond. the boy pulls on the rope with a force of 10.0 n; and the sled moves with constant velocity. what is the coefficient of friction between the and the ice?

(a) 0.09
(b) 0.12
(c) 0.18
(d) 0.06
(e) 0.24

0.1

Explanation:

mass, m = 5 kg

θ = 60°

Force, F = 10 N

velocity is constant , it means the net force is zero.

So, the component of force along the surface is equal to the friction force

FCosθ = friction force

10 x cos 60 = μ x m x g

where, μ is the coefficient of friction

5 = μ x 5 x 9.8

μ = 0.1

Thus, the coefficient of friction is 0.1

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.
