Answer:
Explanation:
The oly way we can figure this out is if the boy is pulling the sled at a constant velocity. If not, we need a value for acceleration, and you don't have that here. If the boy is pulling the sled at a constant velocity, then the value for acceleration is 0, making this a really simple problem. I'm going with that, since there is no way to answer you otherwise. If velocity is not constant, please either repost the question or put it in the notes section under the question as it stands. If acceleration is 0, then
F - f = ma becomes
F - f = m(0) which is
F - f = 0 and
F = f which says that the applied force is the same as the frictional force. We need then to find the frictional force, which has an equation of
f = μ where normal force is the same as the weight of the 2 girls. We will find that, then:
Each girl's mass is different so the normal force/weight equation is
w = (30.0)(9.8) + (40.0)(9.8) to get
w = 290 + 390 and
w = 680. Plug that into the frictional force equation:
f = (.120)(680) so
f = 82N
Answer:
Explanation:
For this problem, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at constant temperature, the product between pressure and volume remains constant:
which can also be rewritten as
In our case, we have:
is the initial pressure
is the initial volume
is the final pressure
Solving for V2, we find the final volume:
