The magnitude of force exerted by the sled on the student is $\boxed{20\text{ N}}$ .

Explanation:

Given:

The weight of the sled is $60\text{ N}$ .

The force applied by the student on the sled is $20\text{ N}$ .

Concept:

According to the Newton's third law of motion, each and every action on a body applies a equal and opposite reaction on the other body. It means if a person pulls a body by a force then the body also pulls the person with the same force towards itself.

The direction of the reaction applied by the body on the person will be opposite to the action of the person on the body.

In the same manner, as the student applies a force on the sled to pull it in the forward direction, the sled will also apply the same magnitude of force on the student to pull him back in the opposite direction.

<u>The weight of the sled acts in the vertically downward direction and therefore, it will not play any role in the reaction force of the sled on the student.</u>

Thus, the magnitude of force exerted by the sled on the student is $\boxed{20\text{ N}}$ .

Newtons third law states that any action (pulling the sled) has an equal and opposite reaction (the sled pulling back on you).
Think about pulling a sled on really slippery ice, you would pull yourself toward the sled just as much as the sled toward you.

Linda is a forensic scientist arriving at the crime scene. What must she do before she can examine the crime scene?

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

In the more scientific viewpoint, the most important thing that she must do is caring for her hygiene and put some plastic gloves in her hands.

This is because there are lots of particles that can be retained in the hands (dust, skin, etc), and when examining the scene, she may drop some of these particles, "contaminating" the scene in this way with information that only will affect the investigation.

So the most important thing is being prepared to not affect anything in the crime scene

Why is velocity and not just speed important to these pilots

Alborosie

Velocity is a vector. Therefore, it depends on the direction. Pilots need to know the direction of wind, not just the speed. If the pilot is going South, and there's 5 mph wind going South, they'll be happy, but if the wind is going 5 mph North, they'll be going against the wind.

An electron moving parallel to a uniform electric field increases its speed from 2.0 × 10^7 m/s to 4.0 × 10^7 m/s over a distanc

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

$E = 2.84 * 10^5 N/C$

Explanation:

The speed increased from 2.0 * 10^7 m/s to 4.0 * 10^7 m/s over a 1.2 cm distance.

Let us find the acceleration:

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

$(4.0 * 10^7)^2 = (2.0 * 10^7)^2 + 2 * a * 0.012\\\\(4.0 * 10^7)^2 - (2.0 * 10^7)^2 = 0.024a\\\\1.2 * 10^{15}= 0.024a\\\\a = 1.2 * 10^{15} / 0.024\\\\a = 5 * 10^{16} m/s^2$

Electric force is given as the product of charge and electric field strength:

F = qE

where q = electric charge

E = Electric field strength

Force is generally given as:

F = ma

where m = mass

a = acceleration

Equating both:

ma = qE

E = ma / q

For an electron:

m = 9.11 × 10^{-31} kg

q = 1.602 × 10^{-19} C

Therefore, the electric field strength of the electron is:

$E = \frac{9.11 * 10^{-31} * 5 * 10^{16}}{1.602 * 10^{-19}} \\\\E = 2.84 * 10^5 N/C$

Which of the following statements is/are true? Check all that apply. Check all that apply. The total mechanical energy of a syst

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1) True, 2) True, 3) False, 4) False, 5) False

Explanation:

1) True. Dissipative energy cannot be recovered, in general it is a form of heat

2) True. The dissipation can be by radiation, heat

3) False. Mechanical energy is divided into K and U but not in equal parts

4) False. When there are dissipative interactions, part of the mechanical energy is set in the form of heat, so its value decreases

5) False. Mechanical energy is the sum of those two energies
