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

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between a 22 kg kg crate and the floor is 0.27, what horizontal force is required to move

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

58.27 N

Explanation:

the data we have is:

mass: $m=22kg$

coefficient of friction: $\mu =0.27$

and we also know the acceleration of gravity is $g=9.81m/s^2$

We need to do an analysis of horizontal and vertical forces acting on the object:

-------

Vertically the forces acting on the object:

Normal force $N$ (acting up from the object)

weight: $w=mg$ (acting down from)

so the sum of forces in the vertical axis "y" are:

$F_{y}=N-w\\F_{y}=N-mg$

from Newton's second Law we know that $F=ma$ , so:

$ma_{y}=N-mg$

and since the object is not accelerating in the vertical direction (the movement is only horizontal) $a_{y}=0$ , and:

$0=N-mg\\N=mg$

-----------

now let's analyze the horizontal forces

frictional force: $f= \mu N$ and since $N=mg$ --> $f=\mu mg$

force to move the object: $F$

and the two forces just mentioned must be opposite, thus the sum of forces in the "x" axis is:

$F=ma_{x}=F-f\\ma_{x}=F-\mu mg$

and we are told that the crate moves at a steady speed, thus there is no acceleration: $a_{x}=0$

and we get:

$0=F-\mu mg\\F=\mu mg$

substituting known values:

$F=(0.27)(22kg)(9.81m/s^2)\\F=58.27N$

A team of dogs accelerates a 290kg dogsled from 0 to 6.0m/s in 3.0 s. Assume that the acceleration is constant.Part AWhat is the

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

(a) $a=2m/sec^2$

(b) 5220 j

(c) 1740 watt

(d) 3446.66 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 290 kg

Initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

Final velocity v = 6 m/sec

Time t = 3 sec

From first equation of motion

v = u+at

So $a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{6-0}{3}=2m/sec^2$

(a) We know that force is given by

F = ma

So force will be $F=290\times 2=580N$

(b) From second equation of motion we know that

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3+\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 3^2=9m$

We know that work done is given by

W = F s = 580×9 =5220 j

(c) Time is given as t = 3 sec

We know that power is given as

$P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{5220}{3}=1740Watt$

(d) Time t = 1.5 sec

So $P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{5220}{1.5}=3466.66Watt$

What amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of 25 grams of copper to cause a 15ºC change? The specific heat of copp

Lina20 [59]

The amount of heat required is B) 150 J

Explanation:

The amount of heat energy required to increase the temperature of a substance is given by the equation:

$Q=mC\Delta T$

where:

m is the mass of the substance

C is the specific heat capacity of the substance

$\Delta T$ is the change in temperature of the substance

For the sample of copper in this problem, we have:

m = 25 g (mass)

C = 0.39 J/gºC (specific heat capacity of copper)

$\Delta T = 15^{\circ}C$ (change in temperature)

Substituting, we find:

$Q=(25)(0.39)(15)=146 J$

So, the closest answer is B) 150 J.
