"on a snowy day, max (mass = 15 kg) pulls his little sister maya in a sled (combined mass = 20 kg) through the slippery snow. wh
en max pulls on the sled with 12 n of force, directed at an angle of 15° above the ground, how much work does max do on the sled as he pulls his sister 25 m in the snow?"
1 answer:
Refer to the diagram shown below.
The angle θ = 15° relative to the direction of motion.
Therefore the force acting in the direction of motion is
(12 N) cos(15°) = 11.59 N
By definition,
Work = Force x Distance.
Therefore work done in moving the sled by 25 m is
Work = (11.59 N)*(25 m) = 289.8 J
Answer: 289.8 J

Answer:
Being an elastic object, rubber ball will be an ideal choice as it will bounce off the bowling pit and will experience a large change in momentum in comparison with the beanbag which will either slow down or come to a halt upon hitting a bowling pit. That is why rubber ball will experience a greater impulse and the bowling pin will experience the negative impulse of the rubber ball.
For Rubber Ball
Upon elastic collision it will reverses the direction and move with velocity equal or less then original
change in momentum = P
For Beanbag
value of impulse will large if velocity is zero.
