Question
The screaming demons have entered a bobsled race. The sled run is at an angle of 29 degrees dr.floor has come up with a super slick bobsled with a coefficient of friction of 0.0112. The combined mass of the two dare devils and their bobsled is 200 kg. What will be the screaming demons acceleration down the bobsled run?

- A rope is attached to Box A, and it is pulled on a rough surface due east with friction. The mass of Box A is 50 kg, and the tension force applied to the box is 100 N due east. If Box A is pulled by the tension force for 4.0 s, and the velocity changes from 0.1 m/s due east to 0.65 m/s due east during the time Box A is pulled, answer the following questions. (a) What is the acceleration of Box A during the time it is pulled? (b) What is the change in kinetic energy of Box A during the time it is pulled? (c) What is the net work done on Box A by the tension force and the frictional force together? (d) What is the work done on Box A by the tension force alone? (e) What is the work done on Box A by the frictional force alone?arrow_forwardWhile two forces act on it, a particle is to move at the constant velocity = (3.58 m/s) -(-3.26 m/s). One of the forces is F1 = (1.88 N) + (-5.85 N). What is the other force? Number i + i j Unitsarrow_forwardA sled of mass 96 kg is being pushed up a slope with an applied force of 862 N. The slope is inclined with an angle of 36 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the sled and the hill is 0.26.

The force of the friction on the sled is 60N and he pulls upward at a 25 degree angle relative the the ground. How hard must he pull to move the sled at a constant velocity? what is the normal force acting on the sled?arrow_forwardA tractor is speeding up at 3 m/s/s while pulling a 744 kg sled with a rope at an angle of 34 degrees. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and ground is 0.5. What is the tension (Newtons) in the rope? (g=9.8 m/s2)arrow_forward
- A robot pushes a 20-kg box on the horizontal surface as part of the moving job. The force is 35 N to the left shown, and the box does not move. The coefficients of friction between the floor and box are µs = 0.75 and uk = 0.40. What is the minimum pushing force (magnitude only) needed to move the box, in Newtons? Useg = 10 m/s². Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forwardJust like Louis, Maria left a book on the roof of her car before driving away. The mass of the book was 725 grams. The coefficient of static friction between the book and the roof was 0.28. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and the roof was 0.23. Maria started her car and drove forward on level ground with an acceleration of 3.6 m/s?. As Maria was driving away with that acceleration, what was the magnitude of the force of friction (in newtons) between the book and the roof of the car?arrow_forwardA block is sliding down a ramp at an angle of 0 = 16° to the horizontal. Its initial speed is 2.8 m/s. After sliding 13.6 m along the ramp, it comes to a rest. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction, µ., between the block and the ramp? Өarrow_forward
