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

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Magnetic force, F = 0.24 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Current flowing in the wire, I = 4 A

Length of the wire, L = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Magnetic field, B = 0.6 T

Angle between force and the magnetic field, θ = 30°. The magnetic force is given by :

F=ILB\ sin\theta

F=4\ A\times 0.2\ m\times 0.6\ T\ sin(30)

F = 0.24 N

So, the force on the wire at an angle of 30° with respect to the field is 0.24 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

You are operating a powerboat at night. Your red sidelight must be visible to boats approaching from which direction(s)
Dmitriy789 [7]

The answer is the red sidelight on a powerboat should be visible from the front and from the left (port side).

What are Sidelights?

  • There is various combinations of lights that must be used on a boat when it is dark, and these are:
  • Sidelights: These lights are called combination lights and are red and green. The red sidelight must be visible from the port side and the green light indicates the right side (the starboard).
  • Stern light: The stern light is seen at the back end of the vessel.
  • Masthead Light: The masthead light is a white light that shines forwards and on all sides of the vessel. All powered vessels must use this light.
  • All-Round white light: This light is the major light that is used to join the masthead light and the stern light. This single light is visible to all vessels from all directions.
  • Thus, as a rule for a boat rider, he should show the vision of red light and it should be visible from the front and from the left (port side).
