Brian is trying to pull Julie on a sled across a flat, snowy field. Brian pulls on a rope attached to the sled. His pulling forc

e is directed forward and upward at an angle of 30° above horizontal. Julie’s mass is 50 kg, and the sled’s mass is 8 kg. If the coefficient of static friction between the sled runners and the snow is 0.10, how much force must Brian exert on the rope to start moving the sled?

Answer:

65,63 N

Explanation:

Let F be the force with which Brian pulls the sled. Since the force is 30° above the horizontal, the component of the force in the forward direction is Fcos30°. This forward component equals the static frictional force, f for the sled to just begin to move.

So Fcos30° = f

Now f = μN where μ = coefficient of static friction between the sled and the snow = 0.10 and N = the normal force on the sled = weight of sled and Julie = (m + M)g where M = mass of Julie = 50 kg and m = mass of sled = 8 kg. g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².  

Fcos30° = f = μN =  μ(m + M)g

Fcos30° = μ(m + M)g

making F subject of the formula,

F = μ(m + M)g/cos30°

substituting the values of the variables, we have

F = 0.10(8 kg + 50 kg) × 9.8 m/s²/cos30°

F = 0.10 × 58 kg × 9.8 m/s²/cos30°

F = 56.84 N/0.8660

F = 65.63 N

So, Brian must exert a force of 65.63 N on the rope for the sled to start moving

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one-third the acceleration due to gravity on Earth’s surface.
aksik [14]

Answer:

one-third of its weight on Earth's surface

Explanation:

Weight of an object is = W = m*g

Gravity on Earth = g₁ = 9.8 m/s

Gravity on Mars = g₂ = \frac{1}{3} g₁

Weight of probe on earth = w₁ = m * g₁

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₂ -------- ( 1 )

As g₂ = g₁/3 --------- ( 2 )

Put equation (2) in equation (1)

so

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₁ /3

Weight of probe on Mars = \frac{1}{3}  m * g₁ = \frac{1}{3} w₁

⇒Weight of probe on Mars =\frac{1}{3} Weight of probe on earth

A box rests on a horizontal, frictionless surface. a girl pushes on the box with a force of 17 n to the right and a boy pushes o
Komok [63]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The net force acting on the box is 17 - 13 = 4 N to the right.
The box moves on a friction surface by 3.5 m to the right.

By definition,
Work = Force x Distance.

(a) The work done by the girl is
     W₁ = (17 N)*(3.5 m) = 59.5 J

(b) The work done by the boy is
     W₂ = (13 N)*(-3.5 m) = - 45.5 J

(c) The work done by the net force  is
    W₃ = (4 N)*(3.5 m) = 14 J

Note that W₃ = W₁ + W₂

Answers:
(a) 59.5 J
(b) - 45.5 J
(c) 14 J

A diver comes off a board with arms straight up and legs straight down, giving her a moment of inertia about her rotation axis o
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

θ₁ = 0.5 revolution

Explanation:

We will use the conservation of angular momentum as follows:

L_1=L_2\\I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2

where,

I₁ = initial moment of inertia = 18 kg.m²

I₂ = Final moment of inertia = 3.6 kg.m²

ω₁ = initial angular velocity = ?

ω₂ = Final Angular velocity = \frac{\theta_2}{t_2} = \frac{2\ rev}{1.2\ s} = 1.67 rev/s

Therefore,

(18\ kg.m^2)\omega_1 = (3.6\ kg.m^2)(1.67\ rev/s)\\\\\omega_1 = \frac{(3.6\ kg.m^2)(1.67\ rev/s)}{(18\ kg.m^2)}\\\\\omega_1 = \frac{\theta_1}{t_1} =  0.333\ rev/s\\\\\theta_1 = (0.333\ rev/s)t_1

where,

θ₁ = revolutions if she had not tucked at all = ?

t₁ = time = 1.5 s

Therefore,

\theta_1 = (0.333\ rev/s)(1.5\ s)\\

<u>θ₁ = 0.5 revolution</u>
