A horse draws a sled horizontally across a snow-covered field. The coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is 0.13

5, and the mass of the sled, including the load, is 195.9kg. If the horse moves the sled at a constant speed of 1.785m/s, what is the power needed to accomplish this?

Answer:

P = 462.62 watts

Explanation:

The power needed to accomplish this can be calculated how

P = Fv

    Where F:  The force exerted by the horse

                v:  velocity

The force exerted by the horse is against friction force; how the movement is with constant velocity these forces must be equals, then

Fr = μN

    =μmg

    = (0.135)(195.9)(9.8)

    = 259.17 N

And the power is

P = (259.17)(1.785)

P = 462.62 watts

An object of mass 800g hangs on a spring. Calculate the force exerted by the object if acceleration due to gravity is 10/s2​
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

8 N

Explanation:

Using the equation F=ma (F: force/ m: mass  in kg/ a: acceleration),

F = (800/1000)(10)

F = 8 N

A metallic sheet has a large number of slits, 5.0 mm wide and 20 cm apart, and is used as a diffraction grating for microwaves.
san4es73 [151]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the principle of superposition and constructive interference, that is to say everything that refers to an overlap of two or more equal frequency waves, which when interfering create a new pattern of waves of greater intensity (amplitude) whose cusp is the antinode.

Mathematically its definition can be given as:

d sin\theta =m\lambda

Where

d = Width of the slit

\theta = Angle between the beam and the source

m = Order (any integer) which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum, at this case 1 (maximum respect the wavelength)

Since the point of the theta angle for which the diffraction becomes maximum will be when it is worth one then we have to:

\lambda = d

\lambda = 20cm = 20*10^{-2}m

Applying the given relation of frequency, speed and wavelength then we will have that the frequency would be:

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

Here the velocity is equal to the speed of light and the wavelength to the value previously found.

f = \frac{3*10^8}{0.2}

f = 1.5Ghz

Therefore the smallest microwave frequency for which only the central maximum occurs is 1.5Ghz
