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 ?

A boy throws a ball vertically up. It returns to the
NikAS [45]

Answer:

31.25 m

25m/sec

Explanation:

Given :-

Time = 5sec

V = 0 (in going up)

U = 0 (in comming down)

Find :-

H and U by which it is thrown up

Since the total time is 5 sec ,therefore half time will be taken to go up and another half will be taken to go down .

We know that ,

V = U + gt

0 = U - 10*2.5

U = 25 m/sec

Also,

V² = U² +2gs

0 = 625 - 20s

s = 625/20 = 31.25 m

An elevator together with its passengers weights 5000 N. At a certain instant, the tension in its supporting cable is 6000 N. De
gayaneshka [121]
We have to forces acting on the system (elevator+passengers):
1) The weight (W=5000 N), acting downward
2) The cable's tension (T=6000 N), acting upward
So, the two forces have opposite direction. The resultant (in upward direction) will be
F=T-W
And for Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the system causes an acceleration on the system itself, given by
a= \frac{F}{m}
where m is the mass of the system.

So, we need to find F and m.
The resultant of the forces is
F=T-W=6000 N-5000 N=1000 N
To find m, we can use the weight of the system. In fact, the weight of an object is given by
W=mg
where g=9.81 m/s^2. Solving for m, and using W=5000 N, we find
m= \frac{W}{g}= \frac{5000 N}{9.81 m/s^2}=510 kg

and at this point, we can calculate the acceleration of the system (elevator+people):
a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1000 N}{510 kg}=1.96 m/s^2
and the acceleration has the same direction of the resultant force, so upward.

Hydrogen is found in three different states inside Jupiter, ______, liquid, and liquid ______.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

gas, metal

Explanation:

The three states of by which hydrogen is found in Jupiter is made up of:

  1. Gaseous hydrogen
  2. liquid hydrogen
  3. liquid metal hydrogen

This is also the same states found in Saturn too.

The pressure inside the largest planet in our solar system is very great.

  • Hydrogen and helium makes up the entirety of the planet Jupiter.
  • It has been discovered that inside this planet, hydrogen often occurs as gas, liquid and metal
  • This is often attributed to the huge amount of pressure in the planet.

Describe the main distinguishing features of spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies.
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disk of stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge. These are surrounded by a much fainter halo of stars, many of which reside in globular clusters.

Elliptical galaxies have smooth, featureless light-profiles and range in shape from nearly spherical to highly flattened, and in size from hundreds of millions to over one trillion stars. In the outer regions, many stars are grouped into globular clusters. Most elliptical galaxies are composed of older, low-mass stars, with a sparse interstellar medium and minimal star formation activity They are often chaotic in appearance, with neither a nuclear bulge nor any trace of spiral arm structure. Collectively they are thought to make up about a quarter of all galaxies.

irregular galaxies were once spiral or elliptical galaxies but were deformed by gravitational action. they are shapeless.
