A 26-kg sled is on a snow-covered slope. The coefficients of friction between the sled’s runners and the snow are µs = 0.096 and µ

k = 0.072. What pulling force must be exerted on the sled as pictured in order to (a) start the sled sliding and (b) continue to slide the sled at constant velocity?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of sled =26 kg

coefficient of static friction \mu _s=0.096

coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.072

In order to move sled from rest we need to provide a force greater than static friction which is given by

f_s=\mu mg=0.096\times 26\times 9.8=24.46 N

After Moving Sled kinetic friction comes in to play which is less than static friction

f_k=\mu _kmg=0.072\times 26\times 9.8=18.34 N

therefore minimum force to keep moving sledge at constant velocity is 18.34 N

Classify the statement below as either Speed or Velocity?
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Hello There!

It is Speed.

\Large\bold\red{Reason}

Because in the question it is said that at which speed car is travelling.

Speed is a scalar quantity.

If it is velocity then first know this that it is a vector quantity.

It must include both magnitude and direction.

If it is velocity then it would be 40 mph east or west or north or south.

Choose the best description of a magnetic field line
LiRa [457]

Answer:

A magnetic field line can never cross another field line. The magnetic field is unique at every point in space. Magnetic field lines are continuous and unbroken, forming closed loops. Magnetic field lines are defined to begin on the north pole of a magnet and terminate on the south pole.

The six statements below represent Newton's three laws of motion and Kepler's three laws of planetary motion. Match each stateme
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

1. Force = mass x acceleration - Newton

2. A planet moves faster in the part of its orbit nearer the Sun and slower when farther from the Sun, sweeping out  equal areas in equal times - Kepler

3. For any force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force - Newton .

4. An object moves at constant velocity if there is no net force acting upon it - Newton

5. The orbit of each planet about the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus  - Kepler.

6. More distant planets orbit the Sun at slower average speeds, obeying the precise mathematical relationship p2-a3 - Kepler.

Explanation:

The three laws of planetary motion formulated by Johannes Kepler or Kepler's laws of planetary motion:

  1. The first law states that the planets move around the Sun in an elliptical orbit with the Sun at one of the foci.
  2. The second law states that the line segment joining a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time.
  3. The third law states that the square of the orbital period (p) of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance (a) from the Sun (or semi-major axis of its orbit) i.e., p² is proportional to a³.

The three laws of motion formulated by Sir Isaac Newton or Newton's laws of motion:

  1. The first law, also known as the law of inertia states that an object at rest or moves at a constant velocity will remain at rest or keep moving at a constant velocity unless it is acted upon by a force.
  2. The second law states that the total force (F) applied on an object is directly related to the acceleration (a) of that object produced by the applied force and the mass (m) of the object, i.e., F = ma (assuming the mass m is constant).
  3. The third law, also known as the law of action and reaction states that when an object exerts a force on another object, then the latter exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the former object i.e., for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The example includes the recoiling of a gun when it fires a bullet forward.
