Question
I am having trouble undertaking which equation to use.

Transcribed Image Text:3.) Three confused sled dogs are trying to pull a sled across the snow in Alaska.
Alutia pulls to the east with a force of 135 N. Seward pulls to the east with a
force of 143 N. Kodiak pulls to the west with a force of 153 N.
a.
What is the net force on the sled?
F,=1351
F2 = 1431
F = 1531
F.+Fe+F3
Friet: 1351+ 1431-1531= 1251
Fnet =
%3D
%3D
Fret- 125N
Answer: 125N east
b. If the sled has a mass of 150. kg and the driver has a mass of 100. kg,
what is the acceleration of the sled? (Assume there is no friction
between the runners of the sled and the snow.).

- You go on a long hike by first walking 25 km southeast (i.e., 45° south of east) from your car. You then stop and camp for the night. On the second day, you walk 40 km in a direction 60° north of east. In what direction, as measured from the position of your car, is your final position? (Give your answer to the nearest degree.)arrow_forwardA plane is flying at a speed of 320 miles per hour on a bearing of N65°E. Its ground speed is 390 miles per hour and its true course, given by the direction angle of the ground speed vector, is 30°. Find the speed, in miles per hour, and the direction angle, in degrees, of the wind. The speed of the wind is miles per hour. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest tenth as needed.)arrow_forwardSuppose that a person has an average heart rate of 91.0 beats/min.

- Jim stands beside a wide river and wonders how wide it is. He spots a large rock on the bank directly across from him. He then walks upstream 65 strides and judges that the angle between him and the rock, which he can still see, is now at an angle of 30° downstream (Fig. 1–20). Jim measures his stride 30° ! to be about 0.8 m long. Estimate the width of the river.
