A team of eight dogs pulls a sled with waxed wood runners on wet snow (mush!). The dogs have average masses of 18.5 kg, and the

loaded sled with its rider has a mass of 250 kg.
(a) Calculate the acceleration of the dogs starting from rest if each dog exerts an average force of 185 N backward on the snow.
(b) Calculate the force in the coupling between the dogs and the sled.

Answer:

a.2.86 m/s^2

b.1058 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of each dog,M=18.5 kg

Mass of sled with rider,m=250 kg

a.Average force,F=185 N

\mu_s=0.14

g=9.8 m/s^2

By Newton's second law

8F-f=(8M+m)a

a=\frac{8F-f}{8M+m}=\frac{8(185)-(0.14)(9.8)(250)}{8(18.5)+250}

a=2.86 m/s^2

b.By Newton's second law

T=ma+\mu_s mg

Substitute the values

T=250\times 2.86+0.14(250)(9.8)=1058 N

Hence, the force in the coupling between the dogs and the sled=1058 N

An object has more momentum if it has which of the following?
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

C.) A high velocity and Large mass.

Explanation:

Momentum of any object is defined by following formula

Here :  m = mass of object

v = velocity of object

now we know that since momentum is product of mass and velocity

So in order to have more momentum we need the value of this product to be more.  So this product will me large is both the physical quantity will be more in magnitude. So if mass is large and velocity will be more then the product of them will be large and hence the momentum of object will be more. Btw I had that question too.

Give an example in which a small force exerts a large torque. give another example in which a large force exerts a small torque.
goldenfox [79]
<span>Since the torque involves the product of force times lever arm, a small force can exert a greater torque than a larger force if the small force has a large enough lever arm.

With a large force exerts a small torque is a gate, hinged in its vertical line (axis). When pushed from a point near to the hinge, a very large amount is needed to open the gate.

7. A car moving at 10m/s (about 22.4 mph) crashes into a barrier and stops in 0.25 m.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) 0.05s

b) 4000N

Explanation:

a)When car is stopped its final velocity become zero

U- 10 m/s

V- 0 m/s

S - 0.25 m

t -?

S = (v+u)*t/2

0.25 =(10+0)*t/2

t = 0.05s

b) If we happened to calculate the avarage force we have to consider about acceleration

V= 0

U = 10

t = 0.05 s

a =?

V = U + at

0 = 10 -a * 0.05

a = 200 m/s2

F = m *a

= 20 * 200

= 4000N
