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

Under which circumstances would protesters’ right to assembly most likely be protected?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mob violence is never protected. Organizers are always careful about not letting things get out of hand. Not D

That remark sort of applies to C as well. Property destruction is never protected.

B is something assemblies are allowed to do. So B.

A falls into the same category as C and D. You may not like the fact that he/she is doing something illegal, but you can't take away their privacy.

Which three characteristics make a glowing piece of charcoal a blackbody radiator? A. The frequencies of EMR it emits depend on
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

A. The frequencies of EMR it emits depend on its temperature

B. It emits only one frequency of EMR

C. It absorbs most of the EMR it receives

Explanation:

  • A blackbody is an object that absorbs most of the electromagnetic spectrum of energy that falls on it.
  • According to law to reradiates most of the available energy back on top the outer space at an efficiency of 100% and thus radiation may be in the visible range of temperature than are in 1000K.
