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

Write three nuclear equations to represent the nuclear decay sequence that begins with the alpha decay of u-235 followed by a be
vazorg [7]

Answer:

We know that in the decay process the sum of molecular number as well as molecular weight should be constant.

The following three reaction are as follows

1 .

Alpha decay  of parent nuclide

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U} \rightarrow _{90}^{231}\textrm{Th}+_{2}^{4}\textrm{alpha }

The molecular number of alpha particle is 2 and molecular weight is 4 g/mol.

2.

Beta decay of daughter nuclide

_{90}^{231}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{231}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^{0}\textrm{beta}+v

v is the neutrino emission,The charge on the beta particle is zero.

3.

Alpha decay

_{91}^{231}\textrm{Pa}\rightarrow_{89}^{227}\textrm{Pa}+_{2}^{4}\textrm{alpha}

A bomb at rest at the origin of an xy-coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of mass
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) It is given that bomb was at rest initially , so ,  its momentum before the explosion was zero.

b ) We shall apply law of conservation of momentum along x and y direction separately because no external force acts on the bomb.

If v be the velocity of the third part along a direction making angle θ

with x axis ,

x component of v = vcosθ

So momentum along x axis  after explosion of third part   = mv cosθ

= 10 v cosθ

Momentum along x of first part = -  5 x 42 m/s

momentum of second part along x direction =0

total momentum along x direction before explosion = total momentum along x direction after explosion

0 = - 5 x 42 + 10 v cosθ

v cosθ = 21

Similarly

total momentum along y direction before explosion = total momentum along y direction after explosion

0 = - 5 x 38 +  10 v sinθ

v sinθ= 21

squaring and and then adding the above equation

v² cos²θ +v² sin²θ = 21² +19²

v² = 441 + 361

v = 28.31 m/s

Tanθ = 21 / 19

θ = 48°
