A 72 kg sled Is pulled forward from rest by a snowmobile and accelerates at 2 m/s squared forward for five seconds. The force of

friction acting on the sled is 120 N backwards. The total mass of the snowmobile and driver is 450 kg. The drag force acting on the snowmobile is 540 N backwards. What is the tension in the rope.

So first make a force diagram. I would label forward forces + and backward forces -. Essentially, the drag force is equal to the Ft (force of tension) + Ff (force of friction on snowmobile - driver system). The force of Friction is equal to mu * Fn. We can find mu through the force of friction acting on the sled. 120 N = mu * Fn (equal to m * g of sled). mu of the Ice is equal to 0.167. So, 540 N = Ft + 0.167 * 4500 N. Ft = -211.5 N. <u>Ft is acting in the backwards direction at a magnitude of 211.5 N</u>

Three wires meet at a junction. Wire 1 has a current of 0.40 A into the junction. The current of wire 2 is 0.75 A out of the jun
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

number of electrons = 2.18*10^18 e

Explanation:

In order to calculate the number of electrons that move trough the second wire, you take into account one of the Kirchoff's laws. All the current that goes inside the junction, has to go out the junction.

Then, if you assume that the current of the wire 1 and 3 go inside the junction, then, all this current have to go out trough the second junction:

i_1+i_3=i_2                 (1)

i1 = 0.40 A

i2 = 0.75 A

you solve the equation i3 from the equation (1):

i_3=i_2-i_1=0.75A-0.40A=0.35A

Next, you take into account that 1A = 1C/s = 6.24*10^18

Then, you have:

0.35A=0.35\frac{C}{s}=0.35*\frac{6.24*10^{18}e}{s}=2.18*10^{18}\frac{e}{s}

The number of electrons that trough the wire 3 is 2.18*10^18 e/s

A 25N force is applied to a bar that can pivot around its end. The force is r=0.75 m away from the end of an angle at 0= 30. wha
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

<h2>9.375Nm</h2>

Explanation:

The formula for calculating torque τ = Frsin∅ where;

F = applied force (in newton)

r = radius (in metres)

∅ = angle that the force made with the bar.

Given  F= 25N, r = 0.75m and ∅ = 30°

torque on the bar τ  = 25*0.75*sin30°

τ = 25*0.75*0.5

τ = 9.375Nm

The torque on the bar is 9.375Nm

8. Rubbing a plastic bag and a balloon with a cloth gives both objects a net negative charge. The balloon's
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

0.214 m

Explanation:

In order for the bag to levitate and not fall down, the electrostatic force between the bag and the balloon must balance the weight of the bag.

Therefore, we can write:

k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}=mg

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q_1=-1\cdot 10^{-10}C is the charge on the balloon

q_2=-1\cdot 10^{-5} C is the charge on the bag

r is the separation betwen the bag and the balloon

m=0.02 g=2\cdot 10^{-5} kg is the mass of the bag

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

Solving for r, we find the distance at which the bag must be held:

r=\sqrt{\frac{kq_1 q_2}{mg}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9\cdot 10^9)(-1\cdot 10^{-10})(-1\cdot 10^{-5})}{(2\cdot 10^{-5})(9.8)}}=0.214 m

A swimming pool heater has to be able to raise the temperatureof the 40,000 gallons of water in the pool by 10 degress Celsius.H
andrew11 [14]

Answer:b)1770 kWh

Explanation:

Given

volume of water V=40,000 gallons

Temperature rise \Delta T=10^{\circ}C

c=4186 J/kg-^{\circ} C

also 1 kg mass is approximately is 1 gallon

therefore 40,000 gallon is equivalent to 3.8\times 40000 kg

heat Required to raise temperature is

Q=mc\Delta T

Q=3.8\times 40000\times 4186\times 10

Q=63,627.2\times 10^5 J

Q=63,672.2\times 10^2 KJ

Q=1767.42 kWh\approx 1770 kWh
