False. Since Force=mass*acceleration, decreasing mass will increase acceleration for the same applied force.

Why does a child on a toboggan fall back when the toboggan is given a sharp tug?

A child in a wagon seems to fall backward when you give the wagon a sharp pull forward because the force that is exerted on te wagon is greater than the force of the friction pushing the child forward while the wagon is accelerating forward. If the force was great enough or if the wagon were to continue being pushed with a constant or increasing force, the child would eventually fall off the wagon. If the wagon's surface had no friction and there was no wind blowing against the wagon but there was friction on the ground the wagon is rolling on, then the child would stay in the same position and would fall of the wagon if the wagon were to travel far enough. If the surface of the wagon had no friction, there was no other force stopping the wagon, then the child wouldn't move his position while the wagon wouldn't stop ever making it so the child had to eventually fall assuming the wagon is finite and doesn't go all the way around in a circle around a center of gravity.


Is pushing a wagon an example of force and motion?

Hhhh


An empty wagon rolls easy but a loaded wagon is more difficult to roll Using your knowledge of friction force and weight explain why this is so?

Force = mass x acceleration Assuming we want the same acceleration such as 0 to 60 mph in 10 seconds. The loaded wagon has more mass. Hence, it requires more force to move it.


What is the force needed to accelerate a wagon with a mass of 10 kg at a rate of 2.0?

20N - Apex :)


How much work is done by the girl pulling her brother who is in the wagon if she exerts a force of 50N at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal and travels 25m?

Work = (force) x (distance)Work = (33N) x (13m) = 429 N-m = 429 joulesIF the force is in exactly the same direction as the motion of the wagon.

Is one way to increase the force used to pull a wagon to decrease the mass in the wagon?

Of course not. But decreasing the mass of the wagon mayincrease the effectiveness of the force used to pull it.Look at it this way:Whether I'm trying to pull a truck or a little red wagon, makes no differencein the maximum amount of force I'm able to apply. But my maximum can movethe little red wagon a lot faster and a lot farther than it can move the truck.

What work have you done if you push a wagon with a force of 36 N for a distance of 2.0 m and the wagon continues to roll for 1.0 m after you stop pushing?

Distance * Force / Calories


A 20kg toy wagon is pulled with an applied force of 35N. if the handle of the wagon is at 45, and the coefficient of friction is 0.1, find the acceleration of the wagon?

9.19 m/s^2

How do you increase the potential energy of a wagon without increasing its mass?

Take it to the top of a hill.


What force is causing the bike to move forward?

In wagon pulling, there is a harnessing system involved which is attached to the breast of the horse. When a horse pulls forward, the harness, which is attached to the wagon moves with him as well, therefore moving the wagon forward.


Why was the Schooner wagon considered faster than others?

I'm not aware of the schooner wagon being faster. However, the difference I am aware of is the schooner wagon used no draft animals to pull it. Instead it had a sail and the wind provided the force to propel the wagon, much like a ship at sea.


A boy pulls a wagon with a force of 6 N east as another boy pushes it with a force of 4 N east What is the net force?

10 N you idiot
