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

a rocket is launched with a constant acceleration straight up. exactly 4.00 seconds after lift off, a bolt falls off the side of
Papessa [141]

The initial speed of the bolt is not 58.86 m/s.  

Let a be the acceleration of the rocket.  

During the 4 sec lift off, the rocket has reached a height of  

h = (1/2)*a*t^2  

with t=4,  

h = (1/2)*a^16  

h = 8*a  

Its velocity at 4 sec is  

v = t*a  

v = 4*a  

The initial velocity of the bolt is thus 4*a.  

During the 6 sec fall, the bolt has the initial velocity V0=-4*a and it drops a total height of h=8*a. From the equation of motion,  

h = (1/2)*g*t^2 + V0*t  

Substituting h0=8*a, t=6 and V0=-4*a into it,  

8*a = (1/2)*g*36 - 4*a*6  

Solving for a  

a = 5.52 m/s^2

The diagram is a real world example of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. It shows how thermal energy is used to gener
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

First law: kinetic energy is used to turn an electric generator

Second law: some thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is known as the law of conservation of energy. It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, the kinetic energy of the steam is used to turn the electric generator (thereby producing electrical energy).

The second law of thermodynamics states that energy transfer or transformation leads to an increase in entropy resulting in the loss of energy. This law also states that as energy is transferred or transformed, some is lost in a form that is unusable. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, some of the thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system.
