Answer:

Explanation:

The only thing I can figure you need here is the accleration of the sled. The equation we need to find this is Newton's Second Law that says that sum of the forces acting on an object is equal to the object's mass times its acceleration. For us, that looks like this because of the friction working against the sled:

F - f = ma but of course it's much more involved than that simple equation! We have the F value as 230 N, and we have the mass as 105, but we do not have the frictional force, f, and we need it to solve for a in the above equation. We know that

f = μF_n where μ is the coefficient of friction, and F_n is the normal force, aka weight of the object. We will use the coefficient of friction and find the weight in order to fill in for f:

F_n=mg so

F_n=(105)(9.8) so the weight of the sled is

F_n= 1.0 × 10³ with the correct number of sig dig there. Now to find f:

f = (.025)(1.0 × 10³) so

f = 25 to the correct number of sig fig. Now on to our "real" equation:

F - f = ma and

230 - 25 = 105a. We have to do the subtraction first, round, and then divide since the rules for addition and subtraction are different from the rules for dividing and multiplying.

230 - 25 will round to the tens place giving us 210. Then

210 = 105a. 210 has 2 sig figs in it while 105 has 3, so we will divide and round to 2 sig fig:

a = 2.0 m/sec²

How does increasing energy affect the amplitude of a wave?​
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The amount of energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude of the wave

Explanation:

A high energy wave is characterized by a high amplitude; a low energy wave is characterized by a low amplitude.  The energy imparted to a pulse will only affect the amplitude of that pulse.

Hope this helped!!!

A car hits another and the two bumpers lock together during the collision. is this an elastic or inelastic collision?
valkas [14]
Inelastic.
If it was elastic, they'd bump right off each other. But since they've been locked, or stuck together, this is inelastic.
