Answer:

This happens in two ways. If an object is at rest and an unbalanced force pushes or pulls the object, it will move. Unbalanced forces can also change the speed or direction of an object that is already in motion.

A team of eight dogs pulls a sled with waxed wood runners on wet snow (mush!). The dogs have average masses of 18.5 kg, and the

meriva

Answer:

a. $2.86 m/s^2$

b.1058 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of each dog,M=18.5 kg

Mass of sled with rider,m=250 kg

a.Average force,F=185 N

$\mu_s=0.14$

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

By Newton's second law

$8F-f=(8M+m)a$

$a=\frac{8F-f}{8M+m}=\frac{8(185)-(0.14)(9.8)(250)}{8(18.5)+250}$

$a=2.86 m/s^2$

b.By Newton's second law

$T=ma+\mu_s mg$

Substitute the values

$T=250\times 2.86+0.14(250)(9.8)=1058 N$

Hence, the force in the coupling between the dogs and the sled=1058 N

A car manufacturer wants to change its car’s design to increase the car’s acceleration. Which changes should the engineers consi

likoan [24]

Answer:

The car manufacturers could increase bore of the cylinders, place the engine in the center or back of the car, add 1 to 2 turbochargers, and lower the center of gravity of the vehicle to increase traction.

Explanation:

Turbochargers would be recommended because they significantly increase both the torque of the engine as well as the amount of horses powering the car while also increasing original efficiency both with and without the additional power. Weight adjustment allows for lightweight vehicles with good traction. This is important to both keep control of the car under acceleration, but it also makes the vehicle more efficient due to the now sheddable unnecessary weight. A more obvious approach would be to increase the base horsepower and torque of the engine by increasing the bore of the cylinders and the weight of the pistons. This acts as an inertial lever, because the extra piston weight will drag the crankshaft faster. This could also be achieved by taking away piston weight, but this could be catastrophic should a piston slip.

What did physicist James Joule's famous paddle wheel experiment demonstrate?

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer

A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water

Explanation

James Joule allowed some water to fall from a height of 1 foot. the water would turn a paddle wheel at the bottom causing a temperature of water to raise.

The height form which the water fell, mass and the temperature of water was measured and used to calculate mechanical equivalent of heat.

From the choices given the best answer is A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water.
