A young parent is dragging a 65 kg (640 N) sled (this includes the mass of two kids) across some snow on flat ground, by means o

f a rope attached to the sled. The rope is at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the ground and the tension in the rope is 160 N. The sled is moving at a constant velocity of 1.5 m/s.
(a) Draw and label all forces acting on the kids + sled system. Indicate the relative size of each force by scaling the length of each force arrow appropriately
(b) Calculate the normal force acting on the system
(c) Calculate the force of friction acting on the system.
(d) Calculate the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow.

Answer:

b) N = 560 N, c)  fr = 138.56 N, d)  μ = 0.247

Explanation:

a) In the attachment we can see the free body diagram of the system

b) Let's write Newton's second law on the y-axis

              N + T_y -W = 0

              N = W -T_y

let's use trigonometry for tension

             sin θ = T_y / T

             cos θ = Tₓ / T

             T_y = T sin θ

             Tₓ = T cos θ

we substitute

              N = W - T sin 30

we calculate

              N = 640 - 160 sin 30

              N = 560 N

c) as the system goes at constant speed the acceleration is zero

X axis

              Tₓ - fr = 0

               Tₓ = fr

we substitute and calculate

              fr = 160 cos 30

              fr = 138.56 N

d) the friction force has the formula

             fr = μ N

             μ = fr / N

we calculate

             μ = 138.56 / 560

             μ = 0.247

A carpenter builds an exterior house wall with a layer of wood 3.1 cm thick on the outside and a layer of Styrofoam insulation 2
lapo4ka [179]

Answer: T = -0.213°c

Heat flow = 38.2 w/m²

Explanation:

given data:

Wood = 0.031m thick

Styrofoam = 0.023m thick

Wood = k ( 0.080W/m.k)

Styrofoam = k (0.010W/m.k)

Temperature of wood = -15°c

Temperature of styrofoam = 19°c

(a) heat flow in wood and styrofoam must be equal

KAdT/ L = KAdT/ L

0.080 * A * ( T - ( -15) ) / 0.031 = 0.010 * A * ( T - ( 19°c) ) / 0.023

T = -0.213°c

(b) heat flow

H = KAdT / L

H = 0.080 * A * ( -0.213°c - ( -15°c) ) / 0.031

= 38.2 w/m²

Find the power load P in kilowatts of an electrical circuit that takes a current I of 17 amperes at a voltage V of 320 volts if
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer: P = 5.44 KW

Explanation:

The formula for calculating power is expressed as

P = VI

where

v is the voltage

I is the current

From the information given,

v = 320

I = 17

Thus,

P = 320 x 17 = 5440 W

We would convert it to KW by dividing by 1000. It becomes

P = 5440/1000

P = 5.44 KW

Why do scientists need a standard system of measurement?
djyliett [7]
The answer is so that everyone is measuring the same distance and counting that distance as the same everywhere. one example from real life why it is important to use standard units is the loss of the NASA mars orbiter. some people decided that the units were to be in metric and others thought that the units were in imperial (english) system. so the orbiter was lost.

let's eliminate some choices
A. to allow for consistientcy with measurement data:
not really, just make sure the instruments are accurate.

B. to use tools marked in customary units: this could be true because a custom is something that is accepted in a wide area and if it is standard, then it is customary so b is the answer

C. so they can keep measurement data secret: nope

D. to record with easier abbreviations: not really

the answer is B
