A sled that has a mass of 8 kg is pulled at a 50 degree angle with a force of 20 N. The force of friction acting on the sled is

2.4 N. The free-body diagram shows the forces acting on the sled.
What is the acceleration of the sled and the normal force acting on it, to the nearest tenth?

1) a = 1.3 m/s2; FN = 63.1 N
2) a = 1.6 m/s2; FN = 65.6 N
3) a = 1.9 m/s2; FN = 93.7 N
4) a = 2.2 m/s2; FN = 78.4 N

As per the question the mass of sled[m] is given as 8 kg.

The fictional force[F_{f} ] is given as 2.4 N

A force[F_{p} ] of 20 N  was exerted on the sled at angle of 50^{0}

Resolving the force into horizontal and vertical components we get -

F_{h} =F_{p} cos\theta and F_{v} =F_{p} sin\theta

Here F_{h} is the horizontal component and F_{v} is the vertical component.

F_{h} =20*cos50   =12.85575219 N

Similarly F_{v} =20*sin50=15.32088886 N

From the free body diagram we get that sum of vertical components is zero as there is no motion in vertical direction.

Hence F_{N} +F_{p} sin\theta=mg where g is the acceleration due to gravity .

⇒F_{N} =mg-F_{p} sin50

 ⇒ F_{N} =8*9.8-15.32088886  [here value of g is 9.8 m/s^2]

                      =63.1 N

The net motion of the body is along the  forward  direction.

            Hence  F_{p} cos\theta -F_{f} =ma where a is the acceleration of the body.

              ⇒a=\frac{F_{p}cos\theta -F_{f}  }{m}

                     =\frac{12.85575219 -2.4}{8}

                      =1.30 m/s^2

Hence the option A is the right answer.

A bar on a hinge starts from rest and rotates with an angular acceleration α = 12 + 5t, where α is in rad/s2 and t is in seconds
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Ф = 239.73 rad

Explanation:

α = 12 + 15×t

W = ∫α×dt

   = ∫(12 + 5×t)×dt

   = 12×t + 2.5×t^2

then:

Ф = ∫W×dt

   = ∫(12×t + 2.5×t^2)dt

   = 6×t^2 + 5/6×t^3

therefore the angle at t = 4.88s is:

Ф = 6×(4.88)^2 + 5/6×(4.88)^3

   = 239.73 rad

find the x-component of this vector 18.4,0.250. Remember, angles are measured from the +x axis. Find the x-component and y-compo
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

x = 0.237

y = 0.0789

Explanation:

Vector with direction 18.4° and magnitude 0.250 has x and y components of:

x = 0.250 cos 18.4°

x = 0.237

y = 0.250 sin 18.4°

y = 0.0789

On an ice skating rink, a girl of mass 50 kg stands stationary, face to face with a boy of mass 80 kg. The children push off of
sasho [114]

The velocity of the girl is  -4.8 m/s.

Using the principle of conservation of linear momentum, The total momentum of  bodies before and after collision is constant. Since the two objects are stationary, the initial momentum of each body is zero.

Thus;

0 = (80 × 3) + (50 × v)

0 = 240 + 50 v

-240 = 50 v

v = -240/50

v = -4.8 m/s

Note that the negative sign shows that the velocity of the girl is in opposite direction that that of the girl.
