Taking the vertical component of the displacement
1.1 - 0.2 = 0.9 mile
The horizontal component of the displacement
-0.3 mile
The magnitude of the displacement is
√[ (0.9)² + (-0.3) ] = 0.95 mile
The direction is
θ = tan-1 (-0.3/0.9)
θ = 161.57 degrees.
Answer:
a.
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


By Newton's second law



b.By Newton's second law

Substitute the values

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