A sled is pulled with a horizontal force of 18 n along a level trail, and the acceleration is found to be 0.39 m/s2. an extra ma

ss m = 4.5 kg is placed on the sled. if the same force is just barely able to keep the sled moving, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the trail?

From Newton's second law of motion, it is identified that the net force applied to the object with mass m, will make it move with an acceleration of a. This can be mathematically translated as,
                        F = m x a
To solve for the mass of the sled, we derive the equation above such that,
                        m = F / a
Substituting,
                       m = (18 N) / (0.39 m/s²)
                          m = 46.15 kg

Then, we add to the calculated mass the mass of the extra material.
                      total mass = 46.15kg + 4.5 kg
                       total mass = 50.65 kg
We solve for the normal force of the surface to the object by calculating its weight.
                     F₂ = (50.65 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
                     F₂ = 496.41 N

The force that would allow barely a movement for the object is equal to the product of the normal force and the coefficient of kinetic friction.
                     F = (F₂)(c)
                      c = F/F₂

Substituting,
                      c = 18 N/496.41 N
                       c = 0.0362

<em>ANSWER: c = 0.0362</em>

What about the atomic model shown below was shown incorrect?
charle [14.2K]
In an atom there are neutrons, protons and electrons. the number of protons is the atomic number . the number of neutron is the atomic mass minus atomic number. the number of electrons is the number of protons.protons and neutrons are located in the middle of the atom. and in the first ring (the ring closest to the middle) it can hold 2 electrons if there is more than two it will go to the second ring (the second ring from the middle of the atom) in the second ring it can hold eight if there is more than eight it will go to the third ring from the middle and the forth ring from the middle can hold 12 atoms . the symbol for proton = +
the symbol for neutron = it has no symbols
the symbol of electron = - .

I don’t get this question please help me
zvonat [6]

oof, that question is difficult! i would say its d because if you pull a slingshot farther than another one, it would have more potential energy.

How many excess electrons must be distributed uniformly within the volume of an isolated plastic sphere 23.0 cm in diameter to p
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

10573375000

216.57162\ N/C

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

r = Distance = \dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{23}{2}=11.5\ cm

E = Electric field = 1150 N/C

Electric field is given by

E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow q=\dfrac{1150\times 0.115^2}{8.99\times 10^9}\\\Rightarrow q=1.69174\times 10^{-9}\ C

Number of electrons is given by

n=\dfrac{1.69174\times 10^{-9}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=10573375000

Number of excess electrons is 10573375000

r = 0.115+0.15 = 0.265 m

E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 1.69174\times 10^{-9}}{0.265^2}\\\Rightarrow E=216.57162\ N/C

The electric field is 216.57162\ N/C

A force of only 150 N can lift a 600 N sack of flour to a height of 0.50 m when using a lever as shown in the diagram below. a.
Snowcat [4.5K]
Actually the question is not clear. The Benefit of lifting using lever is that you can apply force in a convenient direction and you can use very less force to lift object by balancing the torque due to object.For example you want to lift a mass of 4N with a force 2N you can use a class 2 lever and maintain the ratio between the distances of the body and the point of application of force from the fulcrum to be 1:2.In any case balance the torque to get the required force.
