Suppose a 48-N sled is resting on packed snow. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10. If a person weighing 660 N sits on t

he sled, what force is needed to pull the sled across the snow at constant speed?

Assume the snow is uniform, and horizontal.

Given:

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.10 = muK

weight of sled = 48 N

weight of rider = 660 N

normal force on of sled with rider = 48+660 N = 708 N = N

Force required to maintain a uniform speed

= coefficient of kinetic friction * normal force

= muK * N

= 0.10 * 708 N

=70.8 N


Note: it takes more than 70.8 N to start the sled in motion, because static friction is in general greater than kinetic friction.

The speed of propagation of the action potential (an electrical signal) in a nerve cell depends (inversely) on the diameter of t
zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed of electrical nerve signal = 33 m /s

Distance travelled = 1.3 m

time taken = distance / speed

= 1.3 / 33  

= .039 s

= 39 ms ( millisecond )  .

Which of the following is one way that an electric motor's rotation speed can be controlled?
malfutka [58]
Depending on which type of motor you're talking about, but the first 3 are true.  A stronger magnetic field in a DC motor will slow it down but increase its torque.
The amount of current in the motor will control the magnetic fields and therefore affect the speed (and torque).  In an induction motor, the rotational speed is given by n= \frac{120f}{p}  where f is the line frequency and p is the number of poles.  Thus fewer poles makes it go faster.

What are the methods of avoiding demagnetization​
lbvjy [14]

\\

The best method to use in prevention of self-demagnetization of a permanent magnet is by use of a keeper. Keepers were also commonly known as amateurs. They help in storing magnets safely, especially those that have low coercivity ( magnets that are extremely susceptible to stray fields).

Hope It Helps!
