D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.
Assume the snow is uniform, and horizontal.
Given:
coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.10 = muK
weight of sled = 48 N
weight of rider = 660 N
normal force on of sled with rider = 48+660 N = 708 N = N
Force required to maintain a uniform speed
= coefficient of kinetic friction * normal force
= muK * N
= 0.10 * 708 N
=70.8 N
Note: it takes more than 70.8 N to start the sled in motion, because static friction is in general greater than kinetic friction.
Answer:
563.86 N
Explanation:
We know the buoyant force F = weight of air displaced by the balloon.
F = ρgV where ρ = density of air = 1.29 kg/m³, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and V = volume of balloon = 4πr/3 (since it is a sphere) where r = radius of balloon = 2.20 m
So, F = ρgV = ρg4πr³/3
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
F = 1.29 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 4π × (2.20 m)³/3
= 1691.58 N/3
= 563.86 N
Answer:
∆PE = 749.7 J
At 0.9 m high, PE = 793.8 J
At 1.75 m high, PE = 1543.5 J
