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

Choose the statement(s) that is/are true about the ratio \frac{C_p}{C_v} C p C v for a gas? (Ii) This ratio is the same for all
Blababa [14]

Answer:

(i) false

(ii) true

(iii) true

(iv) false

Explanation:

(i) The ratio of Cp and Cv is not constant for all the gases. It is because the value of cp and Cv is different for monoatomic, diatomic and polyatomic gases.

So, this is false.

(ii) For monoatomic gas

Cp = 5R/2, Cv = 3R/2

So, thier ratio

Cp / Cv = 5 / 3 = 1.67

This statement is true.

(iii) for diatomic gases

Cp = 7R/2, Cv = 5R/2

Cp / Cv = 7 / 5 = 1.4

This statement is true.

(iv) It is false.

A ball thrown vertically upward is caught by the thrower after 2.93 s. Find the initial velocity of the ball. The acceleration o
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

time of flight of the ball, t = 2.93 s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

initial velocity of the ball, u = ?

The initial velocity of the ball is given by;

v = u + (-g)t

where;

v is the final speed of the ball at the given time, = 0

g is negative because of upward motion

0 = u -gt

u = gt

u = (9.8 x 2.93)

u = 28.714 m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s

What is the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force
Effectus [21]

The magnitude of the kinetic friction force, ƒk, on an object is. Where μk is called the kinetic friction coefficient and |FN| is the magnitude of the normal force of the surface on the sliding object. The kinetic friction coefficient is entirely determined by the materials of the sliding surfaces. hope it helps

Which of the following is quantitative data? a. Color c. Shape b. Odor d. Volume
Papessa [141]
Hello there! Quantitive data has to do with measurements that can be shown with numbers. Examples of this are things like your height and the length of your arms. With that alone, A and B are eliminated, because those answer choices make no sense. They can't be expressed by numbers and you can't measure colors or odors mathematically. Volume is a way to measure something that CAN be written down by numbers. D is the only answer choice that fits the definition of quantitive data. The answer is D: volume.
