Answer:

69.74 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Weight of sled=49 N

Coefficient of kinetic friction,\mu_k=0.11

Weight of person=585 N

Total weight==mg=49+585=634 N

We know that

Force needed to pull the sled across the snow at constant speed,F=Kinetic friction

F=\mu_k N

Where N= Normal=mg

F=0.11\times 634=69.74 N

Hence, the force is needed  to pull the sled across the snow at constant speed=69.74 N

In a scientific experiment, the variable manipulated or controlled by the experimenter is called the
miskamm [114]
Answer:
The variable manipulated or controlled by the experimenter is called the independent variable.

Example:
If the flow velocity at the bottom of a tank is measured by varying the height of water in the tank, we are measuring velocity as a function of water height.
Therefore,
water height  =  independent variable (controlled)
velocity =  dependent variable (measured in response to water height).

Mathematically,
v = f(h)
where v =  response variable (dependent)
            h = controlled variable (independent).

A proton enters a uniform magnetic field of strength 1 T at 300 m/s. The magnetic field is oriented perpendicular to the proton’
scZoUnD [109]

A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force equal to:

\vec{F}=q\vec{v}\times \vec{B}

Thus, the magnitude of the force that the proton experiences is given by:

F=qvBsin\theta

The magnetic field is perpendicular to the proton's velocity, therefore, we have \theta=90^\circ. Replacing the given values, we obtain:

F=1.6*10^{-19}C(300\frac{m}{s})(1T)sin(90^\circ)\\F=4.8*10^{-17}N

The force of gravity on a 1 kg object on the Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 N. For the same object in low-earth orbit arou
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

g = 8.61 m/s²

Explanation:

distance of the International Space Station form earth is 200 Km

mass of the object = 1 Kg

acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s²

mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

acceleration due to gravity = ?

r = 6400 + 200 = 6800 Km = 6.8 x 10⁶ n

using formula

 g = \dfrac{GM}{r^2}

 g = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^24}{(6.8\times 10^6)^2}

        g = 8.61 m/s²
