Jake drags a sled of mass 18 kg across the snow. The sled is attached to a rope that he pulls with a force of 70 N at an angle o

f 40°. If there is no friction, what is the normal force acting on the sled?

If the 30 N on the rope were pulled straight up, it would offset the force of gravity ( m g = 10 kg * 9.8 N/kg = 98 N) , leaving a net force up from the ground on the sled of 98-30 = 68 N. Since the rope is pulled at the angle of 25o, only part of the force is in the upward direction, (30N)(sin(25) = (30)(.423) = 12.7. So the net force becomes 98 N down offset by 12.7 up or 98-12.7 = 85.3 N. Ah, there it is: C.

Answer: The normal force acting on the sled 131.4048 Newtons.

Explanation:

On breaking up force of 70 N into vertical and horizontal components:

Vertical components:f\cos\theta

Horizontal components:f\sin\theta

The normal force is force acting perpendicular on an object.It is a balanced force.

mg=N+f\sin\theta

N=mg-f\sin\theta=18 kg\times 9.8 m/s^2-70 N\times 0.6427=131.4048 N

The normal force acting on the sled 131.4048 Newtons.

explain why houses built of stone take a long time to warm up but once they are warm they stay warm for a long time
pentagon [3]

they take a long time to heat up because stone has a high heat capacity, meaning it takes more heat to warm it up than other materials. so if you warm it up it will also take a long time to get cold because it is efficient at trapping and insulating heat.
