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

How would the attractive force between two spheres change if the mass of one sphere was doubled?
Dominik [7]
The force of attraction between two objects can be illustrated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
The relation between the different parameters is shown in the attached image.

Now, from the relation, we can deduce that the force between the two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects.

This means that, if the mass of one object is doubled, then the force between the two objects will also be doubled.

A wave with a period of 0.008 second has a frequency of
coldgirl [10]

The frequency of a wave is the reciprocal of its period.

A period of 0.008 sec means a frequency of

         1 / 0.008 sec  =  125 per sec .  (125 Hz)

A cross-country skier can complete a 7.5 km race in 45 min. What is the skier’s average speed?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Speed = 10 km/hr

Explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Since we have to convert it into minutes to hours ( because it is km/hr )

45 minutes = 0.75 hours

Therefore,

Speed = 7.5 / 0.75

           = <u>10 km/hr </u>

Can someone help me with this question
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Net force: 20 N to the right

mass of the bag: 20.489 kg

acceleration:  0.976  m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the normal force and the weight are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, they add up to zero in the vertical direction. In the horizontal direction, the 195 N tension to the right minus the 175 force of friction to the left render a net force towards the right of magnitude:

195 N - 175 N = 20 N

So net force on the bag is 20 N to the right.

The mass of the bag can be found using the value of the weight force: 201 N:

mass = Weight/g = 201 / 9.81 = 20.489 kg

and the acceleration of the bag can be found as the net force divided by the mass we just found:

acceleration = 20 N / 20.489 kg = 0.976  m/s^2
