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

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale that measures the boiling point of water at 212 degrees F and the freezing point at 32 degrees F. The Fahrenheit scale was developed by the German scientist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724.

In the given scenario, the scientist, who wishes to measure the temperature of her experiment which will expectantly be colder than the point of water, should use the Fahrenheit scale.

So, the correct answer is option C.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

the volume decreases at the rate of 500cm³ in 1 min

Explanation:

given

v = 1000cm³, p = 80kPa, Δp/t= 40kPa/min

PV=C

vΔp + pΔv = 0

differentiate with respect to time

v(Δp/t) + p(Δv/t) = 0

(1000cm³)(40kPa/min) + 80kPa(Δv/t) = 0

40000 + 80kPa(Δv/t) = 0

Δv/t = -40000/80

= -500cm³/min

the volume decreases at the rate of 500cm³ in 1 min

Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded train cars are moving toward one another, t
wolverine [178]

Answer:

final velocity =  0.08585m/s

Explanation:

We are taking train cars as our system. In this system no external force is acting. So we can apply the law of conservation of linear momentum.

The law of conservation of linear momentum states that the total linear momentum of a system remains constant if there is no external force acting on the system. That is total linear momentum before = total linear momentum after

total linear momentum before = linear momentum of first train car + linear momentum of second train car

We know that linear momentum = mv

where,

m = mass

v = velocity

thus,

total linear momentum before = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

m₁ = mass of first train car = 135,000kg

v₁ = velocity of first train car = 0.305m/s

m₂ = mass of first second car =  100,000kg

v₂ = velocity of second train car =  −0.210m/s

Note: Momentum is a vector. So while adding momentum we should take account of its direction too. Here since second train car is moving in a direction opposite to that of the first one, we have taken its velocity as negative.

total linear momentum before = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

                                                  = 135,000x0.305 + 100,000x(−0.210)

                                                  = 135,000x0.305 - 100,000x0.210

                                                  = 20,175 kgm/s

Now we have to find total linear momentum after bumping. After the bumping both the train cars will be moving together with a common velocity(say v).

Therefore, total linear momentum after = mv

m = m₁ + m₂ = 135,000 + 100,000 = 235,000

total linear momentum before = total linear momentum after

235,000v = 20,175

v =  \frac{20,175}{235,000}

  = 0.08585m/s
