Question

Transcribed Image Text:Sledding A sled with a mass of 80.0 kg is pulled
along flat, snow-covered ground. The static friction

- Three boxes in contact slide side-by-side on a smooth, friction-less, horizontal floor. Their masses are 5.0-kg, 3.0-kg, and 2.0-kg, with the 3.0-kg box in the center. A force of 50 N pushes on the 5.0-kg box, which pushes against the other two boxes. A. Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes. B. What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 5.0-kg box? C. What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 2.0-kg box?arrow_forwardA restaurant manager pushes a box of melons horizontally with a force of magnitude 150 N.

- Researchers often use force plates to measure the forces that people exert against the floor during movement. A force plate works like a bathroom scale, but it keeps a record of how the reading changes with time. Shown is the data from a force plate as a woman jumps straight up and then lands.a. What was the vertical component of her acceleration during push-off?b. What was the vertical component of her acceleration while in the air?c. What was the vertical component of her acceleration during the landing?d. What was her speed as her feet left the force plate?e. How high did she jump?arrow_forwardwhile tom pushes a 40 kg box in horizontal direction along the classroom floor with a 100 N force, the box is moving in a straight line with constant speed of 0.5 m/s.
