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.

A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 12 m. The circular side of the pool is 3 m high, and the depth of the water is 2.5 m.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Explanation:

Diameter of pool = 12 m

radius of pool, r = 6 m

Total height raised, h = 3 + 2.5 = 5.5 m

density of water, d = 1000 kg/m³

Mass of water, m = Volume of water x density

m = πr²h x d

m = 3.14 x 6 x 6 x 5.5 x 1000

m = 113040 kg

Work = m x g x h

W = 113040 x 9.8 x 5.5

W = 6092856 J

A small boat coasts at constant speed under a bridge. A heavy sack of sand is dropped from the bridge onto the boat. The speed o
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

d. decreases

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum tells us that the sum of momenta before the collision is equal to the sum of momenta after the collision. The bag has no momentum as it falls onto the boat because its velocity is zero in the horizontal direction. But after it hits the boat, it's momentum increases while the momentum of the system remains the same. That means a component of the system must decrease somewhere else. And that component is the velocity, not the mass, of the boat.
