Answer:

a) We kindly invite you to see below the Free Body Diagram of the forces acting on the sled.

b) The weight of the sled is 490.35 newtons.

c) A force of 147.105 newtons is needed to start the sled moving.

d) A force of 49.035 newtons is needed to keep the sled moving at a constant velocity.

Explanation:

a) We kindly invite you to see below the Free Body Diagram of the forces acting on the sled. All forces are listed:

$F$ - External force exerted on the sled, measured in newtons.

$f$ - Friction force, measured in newtons.

$N$ - Normal force from the ground on the mass, measured in newtons.

$W$ - Weight, measured in newtons.

b) The weight of the sled is determined by the following formula:

$W = m\cdot g$ (1)

Where:

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that $m = 50\,kg$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the weight of the sled is:

$W = (50\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$W = 490.35\,N$

The weight of the sled is 490.35 newtons.

c) The minimum force needed to start the sled moving on the horizontal ground is:

$F_{min,s} = \mu_{s}\cdot W$ (2)

Where:

$\mu_{s}$ - Static coefficient of friction, dimensionless.

$W$ - Weight of the sled, measured in newtons.

If we know that $\mu_{s} = 0.3$ and $W = 490.35\,N$ , then the force needed to start the sled moving is:

$F_{min,s} = 0.3\cdot (490.35\,N)$

$F_{min,s} = 147.105\,N$

A force of 147.105 newtons is needed to start the sled moving.

d) The minimum force needed to keep the sled moving at constant velocity is:

$F_{min,k} = \mu_{k}\cdot W$ (3)

Where $\mu_{k}$ is the kinetic coefficient of friction, dimensionless.

If we know that $\mu_{k} = 0.1$ and $W = 490.35\,N$ , then the force needed to keep the sled moving at a constant velocity is:

$F_{min,k} = 0.1\cdot (490.35\,N)$

$F_{min,k} = 49.035\,N$

A force of 49.035 newtons is needed to keep the sled moving at a constant velocity.

A real gas will behave most like an ideal gas under conditions of ________.

KengaRu [80]

Answer: high temperature and low pressure

Explanation:

The Ideal Gas equation is:

$P.V=n.R.T$

Where:

$P$ is the pressure of the gas

$V$ is the volume of the gas

$n$ the number of moles of gas

$R=0.0821\frac{L.atm}{mol.K}$ is the gas constant

$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas in Kelvin

According to this law, molecules in gaseous state do not exert any force among them (attraction or repulsion) and the volume of these molecules is small, therefore negligible in comparison with the volume of the container that contains them.

Now, real gases can behave approximately to an ideal gas, under the conditions described above and taking into account the following:

When <u>temperature is high</u> a real gas approximates to ideal gas, because the molecules move quickly, preventing the repulsion or attraction forces to take effect. In addition, at <u>low pressures</u>, the volume of molecules is negligible.

One of the world's largest Ferris wheels, the Cosmo Clock 21 with a radius of 50.0 m is located in Yokohama City, Japan. Each of

STatiana [176]

Answer:

a = 0.55 m / s²

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is given by the relation

a = v² / r

angular and linear velocities are related

v = w r

we substitute

a = w² r

In the exercise they indicate the angular velocity w = 1 rev/min, let's reduce to the SI system

w = 1 rev / min (2pi rad / 1rev) (1min / 60s) = 0.105 rad/ s

let's calculate

a = 0.105² 50.0

a = 0.55 m / s²

A 10.2-kg mass is located at the origin, and a 4.6-kg mass is located at x = 8.1 cm. Assuming g is constant, what is the locatio

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

center of mass of the two masses will lie at x = 2.52 cm

center of gravity of the two masses will lie at x = 2.52 cm

So center of mass is same as center of gravity because value of gravity is constant here

Explanation:

Position of centre of mass is given as

$r_{cm} = \frac{m_1r_1 + m_2r_2}{m_1 + m_2}$

here we have

$m_1 = 10.2 kg$

$m_2 = 4.6 kg$

$r_1 = (0, 0)$

$r_2 = (8.1cm, 0)$

now we have

$r_{cm} = \frac{10.2 (0,0) + 4.6 (8.1 , 0)}{10.2 + 4.6}$

$r_{cm} = {(37.26, 0)}{14.8}$

$r_{cm} = (2.52 cm, 0)$

so center of mass of the two masses will lie at x = 2.52 cm

now for center of gravity we can use

$r_g_{cm} = \frac{m_1gr_1 + m_2gr_2}{m_1g + m_2g}$

here we have

$m_1 = 10.2 kg$

$m_2 = 4.6 kg$

$r_1 = (0, 0)$

$r_2 = (8.1cm, 0)$

now we have

$r_g_{cm} = \frac{10.2(9.8) (0,0) + 4.6(9.8) (8.1 , 0)}{10.2(9.8) + 4.6(9.8)}$

$r_g_{cm} = {(37.26, 0)}{14.8}$

$r_g_{cm} = (2.52 cm, 0)$

So center of mass is same as center of gravity because value of gravity is constant here
