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.

Answer:

I think it is 80m/s

Explanation:

d = ½ g t2

  = ½ (10 m/s2) (4 s)2

  = (5 m/s2) (16 s2)

  = 80 ms

75% sure

Two water jets are emerging from a vessel at a height of 50 centimeters and 100 centimeters. If their horizontal velocities at t
givi [52]
For t1:

t1 = square root of 2h1 / g = square root of 2 * 0.5 / 9.8 = 0.319 sec

For t2:

t2 = sqaure root of 2h2 / g = square root of 2 * 1.0 / 9.8 = 0.451 sec

Wherein:
t = time(s) for the vertical movement
h= height
g = gravity (using the standard 9.8 m/sec measurement)

d1 = 1*0.319 = 0.319 m
d2 = 0.5 * 0.451 = 0.225 m

Where:

d = hor. distance

ratio = d1:d2
= 0.319 : 0.225
=3.19 : 2.25

The answer is 3.19 : 2.25

mr. tolman believes that our universe is expanding, but with all of the gravitational force from the celestial bodies of space,
marishachu [46]
Based on the description, it will be most likely that he believes in Oscillating model (also known as Cyclic model) of the universe

Based on this model, the gravitational force will prevent further expansion by pulling back the matters and undergo a bounce
