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.

A school bus takes 0.530 h to reach the school from your house. If the average velocity of the bus is 19.0 km/h to the east, wha
kifflom [539]

Answer:

x_{distance}=10.07km

Explanation:

Given data

time=0.530 h

Average velocity Vavg=19.0 km/s

To find

Displacement Δx

Solution

The Formula for average velocity is given as

V_{avg}=(x_{distance} )/(t_{time} )\\ x_{distance}=V_{avg}*(t_{time} )\\x_{distance}=(19.0km/h)*(0.530h)\\x_{distance}=10.07km

A truck loaded with sand accelerates along a highway. The driving force on the truck remains constant. What happens to the accel
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Acceleration will increase.

Explanation:

The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

F = ma

We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.

There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.

Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.

So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.

If an object accelerates from rest, what will its velocity be after 1.3 s if it has a constant acceleration of 9.1 m/s^2?
HACTEHA [7]

\text{Given that,}\\\\\text{Initial velocity,} ~v_0 = 0~ \text{m~s}^{-1}\\\\\text{Time,  t = 1.3~sec}\\\\\text{Acceleration, a = 9.1 m s}^{-2}\\\\\\\\\text{Velocity,}\\\\v = v_0  +at\\\\\implies v = 0 + 9.1 \times 1.3 = 11.83~~ \text{m~s}^{-1}

How is the pressure of a gas related to its concentration of particles?A) Pressure will expand a gas, enlarging its volume and r
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

C) Pressure will compress a gas, reducing its volume and giving it a greater density and concentration of particles.

Explanation:

At constant temperature, pressure and volume are inversely related.

P V = constant

\Rightarrow P \propto \frac{1}{V}

As the pressure increases, the gas compresses, the particles come closer reducing the volume of gas.

As we know, with decrease in volume, density increases.

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Density \propto \frac{1}{Volume}

Thus, the pressure of a gas is directly related to concentration of particles. Increase in pressure causes increase in concentration of the particles.
