A sled is pulled at a constant velocity across a horizontal snow surface. If a force of 8.0 times 10^1 N is being applied to the

sled rope at an angle of 53 degrees to the grind, what is the force of friction between the sled and the snow?

Answer:

48 Newtons

Explanation:

There is no acceleration and net forces.
$8*10x^{-1} N cos(53) = friction$
Answer: 48.15 Newtons

A mass of 0.34 kg is fixed to the end of a 1.4 m long string that is fixed at the other end. Initially at rest, he mass is made

frozen [14]

At time $t$ seconds, the mass has angular speed

$\omega = \left(3.31\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right) t$

and hence linear speed

$v = (1.4\,\mathrm m) \omega = (1.4\,\mathrm m) \left(3.31\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right) t$

After 8 s, its linear speed is

$v = (1.4\,\mathrm m) \left(3.31\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right) (8\,\mathrm s) = 37.072 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} \approx 37 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

and has centripetal acceleration with magnitude

$a = \dfrac{v^2}{1.4\,\rm m} \approx 981.667\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2} \approx 980 \dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

To maintain this linear speed, by Newton's second law the required centripetal force should have magnitude

$F = (0.34\,\mathrm{kg}) a \approx 333.767\,\mathrm N \approx \boxed{330 \,\mathrm N}$

You observe a distant galaxy. You find that a spectral line of hydrogen that is shifted from its normal location in the visible

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The galaxy is moving away from us

Explanation:

Galaxy refers to a system of millions or billions of stars accompanied by gas and dust such that they are held together as a result of gravitational attraction.

When we observe a distant galaxy, we find that a spectral line of hydrogen that is shifted from its normal location in the visible part of the spectrum into the infrared part of the spectrum.

It means that the galaxy is moving away from us.
