The spacecraft that really gave scientists their first good close-up look at the planet Mercury was:

A sled of mass 50 kg is pulled along a snow-covered, flat ground. The static friction coefficient is 0.3 and the kinetic frictio

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

a) We kindly invite you to see below the Free Body Diagram of the forces acting on the sled.

b) The weight of the sled is 490.35 newtons.

c) A force of 147.105 newtons is needed to start the sled moving.

d) A force of 49.035 newtons is needed to keep the sled moving at a constant velocity.

Explanation:

a) We kindly invite you to see below the Free Body Diagram of the forces acting on the sled. All forces are listed:

$F$ - External force exerted on the sled, measured in newtons.

$f$ - Friction force, measured in newtons.

$N$ - Normal force from the ground on the mass, measured in newtons.

$W$ - Weight, measured in newtons.

b) The weight of the sled is determined by the following formula:

$W = m\cdot g$ (1)

Where:

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that $m = 50\,kg$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the weight of the sled is:

$W = (50\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$W = 490.35\,N$

The weight of the sled is 490.35 newtons.

c) The minimum force needed to start the sled moving on the horizontal ground is:

$F_{min,s} = \mu_{s}\cdot W$ (2)

Where:

$\mu_{s}$ - Static coefficient of friction, dimensionless.

$W$ - Weight of the sled, measured in newtons.

If we know that $\mu_{s} = 0.3$ and $W = 490.35\,N$ , then the force needed to start the sled moving is:

$F_{min,s} = 0.3\cdot (490.35\,N)$

$F_{min,s} = 147.105\,N$

A force of 147.105 newtons is needed to start the sled moving.

d) The minimum force needed to keep the sled moving at constant velocity is:

$F_{min,k} = \mu_{k}\cdot W$ (3)

Where $\mu_{k}$ is the kinetic coefficient of friction, dimensionless.

If we know that $\mu_{k} = 0.1$ and $W = 490.35\,N$ , then the force needed to keep the sled moving at a constant velocity is:

$F_{min,k} = 0.1\cdot (490.35\,N)$

$F_{min,k} = 49.035\,N$

A force of 49.035 newtons is needed to keep the sled moving at a constant velocity.

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

Earth is properly designed to support life. This is seen in the favorable temperature that supports life, the water cycle that recycles water for plant and animal life, the atmosphere, energy, and nutrients.

1. Temperature: The temperature which is regulated by the different weather conditions such as the rains, snows, dry seasons all help to maintain a stable condition for life.

2. Water: The water cycle through processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, helps to ensure that there is never a lack of water in the earth. The numerous water bodies like the seas, oceans, rivers, lakes, also provide a habitat for some living things. Water makes up 70% of the earth.

3. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is a mixture of gases in the right proportions that are necessary for life. Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, etc are released and inhaled by man and other living things. They are also involved in so many biochemical reactions that help in metabolism and catabolism.

4. Energy: Energy generated from the sun and within the earth is stored in various forms and is always conserved. This energy is converted to different states such as the potential, chemical, kinetic, mechanical forms to get work done and to release heat.

5. Nutrients: Though cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorous cycles, the earth maintains its stock of essential nutrients that help to sustain life.
