Answer:

Explanation:

Equilibrium is a state of a system which does not change. ... An equilibrium is considered stable (for simplicity we will consider asymptotic stability only) if the system always returns to it after small disturbances. If the system moves away from the equilibrium after small disturbances, then the equilibrium is unstable.

A sled that has a mass of 8 kg is pulled at a 50 degree angle with a force of 20 N. The force of friction acting on the sled is

vitfil [10]

The acceleration of the sled will be 1.30 m/s². Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the push or pulls applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body.

Given data;

m(mass of sled)=8 kg

Θ is the inclination of force= 50°

Force of friction,f=2.4 N.

The applied force at the given angle is resolved into the two-component as;

$\rm F_h=F cos \theta \\\\ F_h= 20 cos 50 ^0 \\\\ F_h= 12.85 \ N$

$\rm F_v=F sin \theta \\\\ F_v=20 sin 50^0 \\\\ F_v=15.32 \ N$

The net vertical force is zero;

$\rm F_N=mg-Fsin50^0 \\\\ \rm F_N=8 \times 9.81 -15.32 \\\\ F_N=63.1 \ N \\\\$

From Newton's second law the net force as;

$\rm \sum F_{net}=ma \\\\ Fcos 60^0-f =ma \\\\ a=\frac{12.855-2.4}{8} \\\\a = 1.30 \ m/s^2$

Hence, the acceleration of the sled will be 1.30 m/s².

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE 20 POINTS!!!!

Aliun [14]

A). very large
B). very small
These are both wishy-washy words ... words that mean different things
to different people, and may even mean different things to the same person
at different times.
Even if everybody agreed on the meaning of these words, we wouldn't
have any idea which one may apply to the rover, because there's nothing
in the picture that gives any size reference ! We don't know from the picture
whether this thing is the size of a school book or a school bus. Or somewhere
in between.

C). very mathematical
What in the world does this mean ? ?
I don't see a single number or math symbol anywhere in the drawing.
I don't think this is the correct choice.

D). very complex
In the drawing, there are thirteen different labels of things,
and eight of them have such long names that only their initials
are shown.
This is one complicated combination of many different machines.
I think this is the best choice of description.

If the airman had a mass of 80 kg, find the magnitude of the air drag acting on him when he reached terminal velocity of 54 m/s

Vlad1618 [11]

The magnitude of the air drag is 784 N

Explanation:

An object falling down reaches the terminal velocity when the magnitude of the air drag acting on it becomes equal to the weight of the object. Mathematically, this condition can be written as:

$F_D = mg$
