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

Which is an example of electrical energy being converted or changed into light energy?
Lera25 [3.4K]
When I see the word "which" at the beginning of your question,
I just KNOW that there's a list of choices printed right there
next to he part that you copied, and for some mysterious
reason, you decided not to let us see the choices.

Any flashlight, light bulb, laser, or spark ... like lightning ...
converts some electrical energy into some light energy.

2. In the activities below indicate if friction is useful or not useful? Explain your answer. i. Writing yes it is useful becaus
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Friction is a force that opposes motion. One or two of the advantages of friction are break and ability of an object to walk.

Writing yes it is useful because when your writing because friction helps you see what your writing

ii. Rubbing. Yes, it is useful.

friction make it possible for two object to rub each other

iii. Skiing. No. It is not useful because With presence of friction, skiing will not be possible.

iv. Rotating a wheel No. It is not useful because Friction will oppose the rotation of the wheel.

An airplane has a speed of 135 mi/h in still air. It is flying straight north so that it is always directly above a north-south
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Let vₐ be the speed of airplane = 135 mph, vₙ be the speed of the wind = 70 mph and vₐₙ be the speed of the airplane relative to the wind.

The distance (d) = 135 miles, Δt = 1 hour, vₐₙ = 135 miles / 1 hour = 135 mph

vₐ = vₙ + vₐₙ

vₐ = vₐₙ

Therefore, vₐ, vₐₙ, vₙ can be represented by an isosceles triangle since vₐ = vₐₙ.

The direction of the wind θ is:

sin(θ / 2) = vₙ / 2vₐ

sin(θ / 2) = 70/ (2*135)

sin(θ / 2) = 0.2593

θ / 2 = sin⁻¹(0.2593) = 15

θ = 30⁰

2α = 180° - 30°

2α = 150°

α = 75°

a) The direction of the wind is 75° in the south east direction while the airplane is heading 30° in the north east direction.
