The power developed by the force in the sled is \boxed{\frac{{Ft}}{2}\left({\frac{F}{m}-{\mu _k}g}\right)} .

Further Explanation:

The Sled is being pulled on a rough surface with the coefficient of kinetic friction {\mu _k}  with a force of magnitude F .

The expression for the force balancing on the sled is written as:

F-{\mu _k}N=ma

Here, N  is the normal reaction force on the sled, m  is the mass of the sled and a  is the acceleration of the sled due to the force.

The normal reaction of the surface acting on the sled is:

N=mg

Therefore, the acceleration of the sled is:

\begin{gathered}F-{\mu _k}mg=ma\hfill\\a=\frac{{F-{\mu _k}mg}}{m}\hfill\\\end{gathered}

Since the sled starts from s=rest and the force acts on the sled for time t . So, the distance covered by the sled in time t  is:

S=ut+\frac{1}{2}a{t^2}

Here, S  is the distance covered by the sled in time t  and   u is the initial velocity of the sled.

Substitute 0  for u   and \frac{{F-{\mu _k}mg}}{m}  for a  in above expression.

S=\frac{1}{2}\left({\frac{{F-{\mu _k}mg}}{m}}\right){t^2}

The work done by the force in making the sled move on the surface is given as:

W = F \times S

Substitute the value of S  in above expression.

\begin{aligned}W&=F\times\frac{1}{2}\left({\frac{{F-{\mu _k}mg}}{m}}\right){t^2}\\&=\frac{{F{t^2}}}{2}\left({\frac{{F-{\mu _k}mg}}{m}}\right)\\\end{aligned}

The power developed by the force acting on the sled is:

P = \frac{W}{t}

Substitute \frac{{F{t^2}}}{2}\left({\frac{{F-{\mu _k}mg}}{m}}\right)   for W  in above expression.

\begin{aligned}P&=\frac{{\frac{{F{t^2}}}{2}\left({\frac{{F-{\mu _k}mg}}{m}}\right)}}{t}\\&=\frac{{Ft}}{2}\left({\frac{F}{m}-{\mu _k}g}\right)\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the power developed by the force in the sled is \boxed{\frac{{Ft}}{2}\left({\frac{F}{m}-{\mu _k}g}\right)} .

I'll bite:

-- Since the sled's mass is 'm', its weight is 'mg'.

-- Since the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk, the force acting opposite to the direction it's sliding is    (μk) times (mg) .

-- If the pulling force is constant 'F', then the horizontal forces on the sled
are 'F' forward and (μk · mg) backwards.

-- The net force on the sled is  (F - μk·mg).
(I regret the visual appearance that's beginning to emerge,
but let's forge onward.)

-- The sled's horizontal acceleration is  (net force) / (mass) = (F - μk·mg) / m.
This could be simplified, but let's not just yet.

-- Starting from rest, the sled moves a distance 's' during time 't'.
We know that  s = 1/2 a t² , and we know what 'a' is.  So we can write

           s = (1/2 t²)  (F - μk·mg) / m    .

Now we have the distance, and the constant force.
The total work is (Force x distance), and the power is (Work / time).
Let's put it together and see how ugly it becomes.  Maybe THEN
it can be simplified.

Work = (Force x distance) =  F x  (1/2 t²)  (F - μk·mg) / m
 
Power = (Work / time) =    <em>F (t/2) (F - μk·mg) / m </em>

Unless I can come up with something a lot simpler, that's the answer.


To simplify and beautify, make the partial fractions out of the
2nd parentheses:
                                   <em> F (t/2) (F/m - μk·m)</em>

I think that's about as far as you can go.  I tried some other presentations,
and didn't find anything that's much simpler.

Five points,ehhh ?

AlekseyPX

Answer:

160 kg

12 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of first car = 120 kg

m_2 = Mass of second car

u_1 = Initial Velocity of first car = 14 m/s

u_2 = Initial Velocity of second car = 0 m/s

v_1 = Final Velocity of first car = -2 m/s

v_2 = Final Velocity of second car

For perfectly elastic collision

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}-m_{1}v_{1}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=120\times 14+m_2\times 0-(120\times -2)\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=1920\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}

Applying in the next equation

v_2=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_{1}+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{2\times 120}{120+\frac{1920}{v_2}}\times 14+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}\times 0\\\Rightarrow \left(120+\frac{1920}{v_2}\right)v_2=3360\\\Rightarrow 120v_2+1920=3360\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{3360-1920}{120}\\\Rightarrow v_2=12\ m/s

m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{12}\\\Rightarrow m_2=160\ kg

Mass of second car = 160 kg

Velocity of second car = 12 m/s

A girl kicks a blue ball with a velocity of 20.0 m/s at 65.0o. How long is it in the air?
34kurt

Explanation:

t = usin©/g

Where t is the time to reach the maximum height

Time spent in air is T = 2t

Hence, T = 2usin©/g

T = 2 x 20 x sin 65°/ 9.8

T = 3.69s
