A team of eight dogs pulls a sled with waxed wood runners on wet snow (mush!). The dogs have average masses of 19.0 kg, and the

loaded sled with its rider has a mass of 210 kg. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration starting from rest if each dog exerts an average force of 185 N backward on the snow. (b) What is the magnitude of the acceleration once the sled starts to move

Answer

given,

number of dog = 8

mass of each dog= 19 Kg

mass of sled = 210 Kg

average force = 185 Nss

a) writing all the horizontal force

   force acting by dog - friction force = (M + 8m) a

   8 F_d - μ m g = (M + 8m) a

assuming coefficient of friction of snow be μ = 0.14

    8 x 185 - 0.14 x 210 x 9.8 = (210 + 8 x 19 ) x a

               a = 3.29 m/s²

b)  the kinetic friction of coefficient is less than static friction

 hence, we can suggest that acceleration of the sled will increase once the sled start to move.

                a > 3.29 m/s²

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same plate area, but the plate gap in capacitor 1 is twice as big as capacitor 2. If capa
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Capacitance of the second capacitor = 2C

Explanation:

\texttt{Capacitance, C}=\frac{\varepsilon_0A}{d}

Where A is the area, d is the gap between plates and ε₀ is the dielectric constant.

Let C₁ be the capacitance of first capacitor with area A₁ and gap between plates d₁.

We have    

              \texttt{Capacitance, C}_1=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{d_1}=C

Similarly for capacitor 2

               \texttt{Capacitance, C}_2=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_2}{d_2}=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{\frac{d_1}{2}}=2\times \frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{d_1}=2C

Capacitance of the second capacitor = 2C

Star A and Star B have measured stellar parallax of 1.0 arc second and 0.75 arc second, respectively. Which star is closer? How
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Star A is closer than Star B

Explanation:

As we know that in parallax method of distance measurement the angle subtended by the star when it covers a distance of one Parsec arc length, it is known as parallax angle

Here we can say

angle = \frac{1 Parsec}{distance}

so we have

distance = \frac{1 Parsec}{angle}

so here we have

angle subtended by Star A = 1 arc sec

angle subtended by star B = 0.75 arc sec

now we have

distance for star A is given as

d_a = \frac{1 Parsec}{1} = 1 Parsec

distance of star B is given as

d_b = \frac{1 Parsec}{0.75} = 1.33 Parsec

So star A is closer than star B

Diferencie energia cinética de energia potencial gravitacional.
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Featured snippet from the web

The atoms and molecules in it are in constant motion. The kinetic energy of such a body is the measure of its temperature. Potential energy is classified depending on the applicable restoring force. Gravitational potential energy – potential energy of an object which is associated with gravitational force
