A horse is trotting along pulling a sleigh through the snow. To move the 225 kg sleigh straight ahead at a constant speed, the h

orse must pull with a force of 123N.
a. What is the net force acting on the sleigh?

b. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sleigh and the snow?

Answer:

a) The net force acting on the sleigh is zero because it is moving at a constant speed.

b) F_{fr}= \mu mg = F_{pull}, then \mu = \frac{F_{pull}}{mg} = 0.0557.

What force must be applied to the end of a rod along the x-axis of length 2.25 m in order to produce a torque on the rod about t
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

<h2>4.9N approx.</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

length of rod r= 2.25m

Required torque = 11 Nm

Required

The force needed to produce a torque of 11Nm

Step two:

<em>"By definition, Torque is the twisting force that tends to cause rotation. </em>

<em>The point where the object rotates is known as the axis of rotation."</em>

Mathematically,

\tau = rF\sin\theta

\tau = torque

r = radius

F = force

\theta = angle between F and the lever arm

in this case is zero

\tau = rF\\\\F=\tau/r

substituting we have

F=11/2.25

F=4.88N

F=4.9N approx.

A block of ice (m = 9 kg) at a temperature of T1 = 0 degrees C is placed out in the sun until it melts, and the temperature of t
jonny [76]

Answer:

a) An expression for the amount of energy, E_m, needed to melt the ice into water.

(E_m) = (m × Lf)

b) An expression for the total amount of energy, E_tot, to melt the ice and then bring the water to T2

(Total heat) = (m × Lf) + mc (T2 - T1)

c) 3,646,458 J = 3646.46 kJ

Explanation:

a) When a pure body changes its phase at meltimgbor boiling point, it does so at a constant temperature. When a pure body melts, the amount of heat responsible for this change is just given by a product od the mass of the body and the body's heat of fusion.

(E_m) = (m × Lf)

b) The Heat required to raise the temperature of a body from one temperature to another is given by the product of the mass of the body, its specific heat capacity and the temperature difference between the final point and the starting point.

(E_2) = mcΔT = mc (T2 - T1)

Total heat required to melt the ice at T1 = 0 and raise the temperature of the resulting water to T2 is then a sum of (E_m) + (E_2)

(Total heat) = (m × Lf) + mc (T2 - T1)

c) What is the energy in Joules?

(Total heat) = (m × Lf) + mc (T2 - T1)

m = mass of ice = resulting mass of water = 9 kg

Lf = latent heat of fusion = 334000 J/kg

c = Specific heat capacity of water = 4186 J/kg.K

T2 = final temperature of the water = 17°C

T1 = Initial temperature of the water = 0°C

Note that the units of temperature difference is the same for K and °C

(Total heat) = (m × Lf) + mc (T2 - T1)

Q = (9 × 334000) + [9 × 4186 × (17 - 0)]

Q = 3,006,000 + 640,458 = 3,646,458 J = 3646.46 kJ

Hope this Helps!!!
