How much force is excerted on a sled if the mass of the sled is 65kg and the acceleration is 4 ms2?

The acceleration of the sled is .18m/s2


When you push on a sled and it begins to go downhill you cause what accelartion?

The acceleration is caused by the force of gravity on the sled combined with the force you exert on the sled by pushing it.


To keep a sled accelerating downhill the force of gravity must be greater than the normal force?

"friction"


What exactly is a speed sled?

A speed sled is a sled that can be attached to several weights. The sled is then harnessed to a runner's body while he runs. It is intended to improve endurance and acceleration for professional runners. It is not used at all in luge or bobsledding.


What benefit would I get from a speed sled?

Speed sleds are used to improve acceleration when running. The speed sled training improves the burst speed of your leg muscles.


To keep a sled accelerating downhill what must the force of gravity be greater than?

The force of gravity must be greater than the normal force.


A sled of mass 53.0 kg is pulled along flat snow-covered ground The static friction coefficient is 0.30 and the kinetic friction coefficient is 0.10 a What force will be needed to start the sled movin?

Ignore the kinetic friction coefficient, that is only in the problem to trick you. If the force pulling the sled is parallel to the ground, then the problem should be pretty easy. Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2


What are the physics involved in tractor pulling a sled?

When a tractor is pulling a sled there is the mass and gravity of both the tractor and sled slowing it down. There is also tension in the rope pulling the sled. whenever physics is involved to solve a force there is usually a frictional force acting on the objects. The formula to use is F=ma. The total mass is the mass of the objects put together and the total force is the force that the tractor is pulling at minus mg (mass x gravity) and minus the frictional force. The tension (T) is calculated using the formula T=W+ma (W=mgh), using only the mass of the sled.


Is it true that a sled accelerating downhill the force of gravity must be greater than the normal force?

Not at all. The force of gravity must be greater than the friction force, but if the sled is on any kind of slope, then it doesn't matter what the normal force is.


What changes as a sled goes down a hill in a straight line?

The velocity may increase if the sledge is accelerating. The momentum will increase as it is related to the velocity. The kinetic energy will also increase.


What type of sled is a luge?
