A horse is harnessed to a sled having a mass of 236 kg, includ- ing supplies. The horse must exert a force exceeding 1240 N at a

n angle of 35.0° in order to get the sled moving. Treat the sled as a point particle.
(a) Calculate the normal force on the sled when the magnitude of the applied force is 1240 N.
(b) Find the coefficient of static friction between the sled and the ground beneath it.
(c) Find the static friction force when the horse is exerting a force of 6.20 x 10^2 N on the sled at the same angle.

Answer:

a) The normal force on the sled is  1.61 × 10³ N when the applied force is 1240 N at 35°.

b) The coefficient of static friction is 0.631  

c) The friction force is 1.24 × 10³ N when the horse is exerting a force of 6.20 × 10² N at 35°

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) Since the sled is not moving in the vertical direction, the sum of the forces applied in this direction is zero.

Considering the upward direction as positive, the sum of vertical forces will be (see figure):

∑F = Fy + N - W = 0

Where:

Fy = vertical component of the force applied by the horse.

N = normal force on the sled.

W = weight of the sled.

Solving the equation for N:

N = W - Fy

The weight is the force that gravity exerts on the sled:

W = m · g

Where:

m = mass of the sled.

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²).

Then:

W = 236 kg · 9.81 m/s² = 2.32 × 10³ N  

The y-component of the force applied by the horse is calculated using trigonometry:

sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 35.0° = Fy / F

sin 35.0° = Fy / 1240 N

1240 N · sin 35.0° = Fy

Fy = 711 N  

Then, the normal force will be:

N = W - Fy

N = 2.32 × 10³ N - 711 N = 1.61 × 10³ N

The normal force on the sled is  1.61 × 10³ N when the applied force is 1240 N at 35°.

b) For the sled to start moving, the exerted force by the horse has to be greater than the static friction force (Fr). We know from the problem that the horse must exert a force greater than 1240 N at 35.0° to start moving the sled. Then, the magnitude of the friction force is equal to the magnitude of the horizontal component of the applied force, Fx (see figure).

Fx = 1240 N · cos 35°

Fx = 1016 N

Then the friction force is Fr = 1016 N.

The static friction force is calculated as follows:

Fr = μ · N

Where:

μ = coefficient of static friction

N = normal force

Then, solving for μ:

Fr / N = μ

1016 N /  1.61 × 10³ N = μ

μ = 0.631

The coefficient of static friction is 0.631  

c) Now, the force exerted by the horse is 6.20 × 10² N.

So, let´s find again the vertical component of this force to calculate the normal force:

Fy = F · sin θ

Fy = 6.20 × 10² N · sin 35.0°

Fy = 356 N

The normal force will be:

N = W - Fy

N = 2.32 × 10³ N - 356 N

N = 1.96 × 10³ N

The friction froce will be:

Fr = μ · N

Fr = 0.63 ·  1.96 × 10³ N = 1.24 × 10³ N

The static friction force is 1.24 × 10³ N when the horse is exerting a force of 6.20 × 10² N at 35°

Answer:

A = 1894.53N

B = 0.70

C = 0.327

Explanation:

Mass (m) = 236kg

F = 1240

Normal force (N) = ?

Θ = 35.0°

g = 9.8m/s²

Normal force (N) = mgcosΘ

N = 236 * 9.8 * cos 35

N = 1896.53N

B.

Coefficient of static friction μ =

F = μN

μ = F / N

μ = Mg sinΘ / mg cosΘ

μ = sinΘ / cosΘ

μ = tan Θ

μ = tan 35

μ = 0.700

Coefficient of static friction (μ) is 0.70

C. Static friction when the horse exerts a force of 6.20*10²N

F = μN

μ = F / N

F = 6.20*10²

N = 1894.53N

μ = 620 / 1894.53

μ = 0.327

A record of travel along a straight path is as follows: 1. Start from rest with constant acceleration of 2.24 m/s2 for 10.0 s. 2
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

1817.448 m

Explanation:

Given:

Initial acceleration = 2.24 m/s²

Time for acceleration = 10 s

From  Newton's equation of motion

v = u + at

here v is the final velocity after the acceleration

v = 0 + 2.24 × 10 = 22.4 m/s

thus,

the displacement during acceleration

From  Newton's equation of motion

s_1=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,  

s is the distance

u is the initial speed = 0 m/s as starting from rest

a is the acceleration

t is the time

on substituting the respective values, we get

s_1=0\times10+\frac{1}{2}\times2.24\times10^2

or

s₁ = 112 m

for case 2

time = 1.25 minute = 1.25 × 60 = 75 seconds

displacement, s₂ = v × t = 22.4 × 75 = 1680 m

for the case 3

acceleration = - 9.86 m/s²

now,

the final velocity for the second case is the initial velocity for this case

thus,

s_3=22.4\times2.27+\frac{1}{2}(-9.86)\times2.27^2

or

s₃ = 50.848 - 25.40 = 25.448 m

hence,

the total displacement = s₁ + s₂ + s₃ = 112 m + 1680 m + 25.448 m

= 1817.448 m

In order to transmit information via radio waves, the waves need to be changed somehow. For car radios this can happen in two wa
laila [671]

Answer: amplitude

Explanation: This describes the maximum amount of the displacement of a particle from it rest position. Usually, it is measured in metres

Since we are considering AM which is amplitude modulation, a technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for broadcasting information through a radio carrier wave. In amplitude modulation, the amplitude (signal strength) of the carrier wave is diversified in proportion to that of the message signal being broadcasted.
