A father uses a rope to pull a child on a sled at a constant speed. of the ones listed which forces are present?

Amanda [17]3 years ago

All the forces may be present.

The child on the sled has a weight- which is due to the force of gravity on the child and the sled.

The sled and the child exert a force on the ground equal to the combined weight of the sled and the child. The ground exerts a normal force on the sled.

The force used by the father to pull the sled is the applied force.

The sled slides on the ground and as a result, the force of friction exists between the ground and the sled, directed opposite to the direction of the motion of the sled.

The father pulls the sled using a rope. As a result, the rope is under Tension.

As the sled moves it also experiences a force of air resistance, which is dependent on the sled's speed.

However, since the father pulls the sled along with constant speed, the sum of all the forces acting on the sled is zero.

Since there is no movement in the upward or downward directions, the weight of the child and the sled is equal to the normal force acted upon the sled by the ground.

The force applied by the father on the rope is equal to the tension in the rope.

Friction and air resistance act opposite to the direction of motion of the sled. for the sled to move at constant speed, the tension in the rope must be equal to the sum of the forces due to friction and air resistance.

Does sound travels through your skull to your ear when you speak ? If yes then how ?
Maksim231197 [3]
Sound travels through waves, more specifically, through vibrations. They do not go from skull to ear, but they can go from ear to brain, or skull to brain. Ear to brain is simply vibrations traveling from outer ear, to inner ear, to the brain. Skull to brain, otherwise known as "bone conduction", has the vibrations hitting the skull, then to the temproal bone, then to the inner ear where the brain picks it up.

Earl is using his hands to hold a metal pan 10 centimeters above a hot burner. How can this scenario be changed to demonstrate c
Olenka [21]

Answer: touch the pan to the burner

Explanation:

There are three modes of heat transfer:

conduction, convection and radiation.  

For conduction, the heat transfers from a hot object to a cold object when the two are in contact.

For convection there is bulk motion of fluid occurs which transfers the heat.

For heat transfer by radiation, medium is not required.

Thus, to demonstrate conduction between pan and burner, the pan must touch the burner.

A child with a weight of 430 N rides on a Ferris wheel, which has a radius of 17 m, and the linear velocity of the 3.5 m/s at an
Murrr4er [49]

At the lowest point on the Ferris wheel, there are two forces acting on the child: their weight of 430 N, and an upward centripetal/normal force with magnitude n; then the net force on the child is

∑ F = ma

n - 430 N = (430 N)/g • a

where m is the child's mass and a is their centripetal acceleration. The child has a linear speed of 3.5 m/s at any point along the path of the wheel whose radius is 17 m, so the centripetal acceleration is

a = (3.5 m/s)² / (17 m) ≈ 0.72 m/s²

and so

n = 430 N + (430 N)/g (0.72 m/s²) ≈ 460 N
