Answer:
The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass = 2.12 kg
Initial speed = 5.49 m/s
Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.229
Distance = 3.89 m
We need to calculate the acceleration of sled
Using formula of acceleration

Where, F = frictional force
m = mass
Put the value into the formula




We need to calculate the speed of the sled
Using equation of motion

Where, v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
a = acceleration
s = distance
Put the value in the equation



Hence, The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s.
Answer:
0.958 m
Explanation:
So the total mass of the system is
M = 1.93 + 2.95 + 2.41 + 3.99 = 11.28 kg
let y be the distance from the center of mass to the origin. With the reference to the origin then we have the following equation



So the center of mass is 0.958 m from the origin
Answer:
PE=0.29J
Explanation:
According to the description, there is a angle and in point swung upward of 70°
So,

Appling the equation of Potential Energy we have,

39.6832 pounds would be your answer
Answer:
a) moves down
b) moves down
c) level remains same
Explanation:
Given that the anchor is initially on the floating boat.
a)
In this condition initially the the volume of water
displaced is to balance its weight.
Now,



We've, the density of steel
and the density of water 

When the anchor is dropped into water:
The volume of water displaced be
which will be equal to the volume of anchor since it is immersed into it.

...................(1)
So the level of water falls when the anchor is dropped into water.
b)
Now, when the anchor is thrown on the ground the water has now less weight to balance so the water level falls down.
c)
When the cork on the from the boat is dropped into the water and it still floats then it must displace same amount of water, hence there should be no change in the water level.
