Want this question answered?
The acceleration of the sled is .18m/s2
Yes, if all the forces vector sum to zero then there is no acceleration. For example if a you push on sled with 10 pounds and someone else pulls the other end with 10 pounds it does not move - no acceleartaion - net force is zero even though two forces are acting on it
well as per the formula F=maapplying the formula, it makeF=ma30=15*aa=30/15a=2So acceleration is 2ms-2-Thunder
What king of material should you use to hold a sled together in the snow?
Just multiply the weight by each coefficient, add them together and multiply by 9.8
The acceleration of the sled is .18m/s2
The acceleration is caused by the force of gravity on the sled combined with the force you exert on the sled by pushing it.
"friction"
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.
Speed sleds are used to improve acceleration when running. The speed sled training improves the burst speed of your leg muscles.
The force of gravity must be greater than the normal force.
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
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.
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.
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.
a sled
They tend to live in there sled packs that they pull the sled in
