The dogs of four-time Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race champion Jeff King pull two 100-kg sleds that are connected by a rope. The sl

eds move on an icy surface. The dogs exert a 240-N force on the rope attached to the front sled. The front rope pulls horizontally.
Part A

Answer:

Part a)

a = 2.4 m/s^2

Part b)

F = 120 N

Explanation:

Two sleds are connected by a rope

mass of each sled is given as

m = 100 kg

now we know that dog exert pulling force on the rope connected to first sled

F = 240 N

Part a)

By newton's first law we know that

F = (m + m)a

240 = (100 + 100)a

a = \frac{240}{100}

a = 2.4 m/s^2

Part b)

As we know that force between two ropes will pull the sled behind

so we will have

F = ma

F = 100(1.20)

F = 120 N

If a runner exerts 457 j of work to make 321 w of power then how long did it take the runner to do the work
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The time taken by the runner to do the work is 1.42 seconds.

Given the data in the question;

  • Work done; W = 457J
  • Power; P = 321W
  • Time elapsed; t = \ ?

<h3>Power</h3>

Power can be simply referred to as the quantity of energy transferred per unit time.

It is expressed as;

P = \frac{W}{t}

Where W is work done and t is time elapsed.

To determine the time it took the runner to do the work, we substitute our given values into the expression above.

P = \frac{W}{t} \\\\t = \frac{W}{P} \\\\t = \frac{457J}{321W} \\\\t = \frac{457 kgm^2/s^2}{321 kgm^2/s^3}\\\\t = 1.42s

Therefore, the time taken by the runner to do the work is 1.42 seconds.
