A football player pushes a 670-N blocking sled. The coefficient of static friction between sled and grass is 0.73, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between sled and grass is 0.68.
a. How much force must the player exert to start the sled in motion?
b. How much force is required to keep the sled in motion?
c. Answer the same two questions with a 100-kg coach standing on the back of the sled.
a)
To determine: The force required to cause the sled in motion.
Answer to Problem 5IP
The force required to cause the sled in motion is greater than
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Write an expression to find the force required to cause the sled in motion.
Here,
Substitute 0.73 for
Therefore, the force required to cause the sled in motion is greater than
Therefore, the force required to cause the sled in motion is greater than
b)
To determine: The force required to keep the sled in motion.
Answer to Problem 5IP
The force required to keep the sled in motion is greater than
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Write an expression to find the force required to keep the sled in motion.
Here,
Substitute 0.68 for
Therefore, the force required to keep the sled in motion is greater than
Therefore, the force required to keep the sled in motion is greater than
c)
To determine: The force required to cause the sled and coach in motion.
Answer to Problem 5IP
The force required to cause the sled and coach in motion is greater than
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Calculate the total reaction force.
Here,
Substitute
Therefore the total reaction force is
Write an expression to find the force required to cause the sled and coach in motion.
Here,
Substitute 0.73 for
Therefore, the force required to cause the sled and coach in motion is greater than
Therefore, the force required to cause the sled and coach in motion is greater than
To determine: The force required to keep the sled and coach in motion.
Answer to Problem 5IP
The force required to keep the sled and coach in motion is greater than
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Calculate the total reaction force.
Here,
Substitute
Therefore the total reaction force is
Write an expression to find the force required to keep the sled and coach in motion.
Here,
Substitute 0.68 for
Therefore, the force required to keep the sled and coach in motion is greater than

- During vigorous effort in muscle cells, ATP stores are quickly depleted. However, creatine phosphate can donate a phosphate to regenerate ATP to sustain effort. In other words, creatine phosphate has a higher phosphoryl transfer potential than ATP? a. False b. Truearrow_forwardA scientist was investigating if differences in the frictional work performed on a model car can change depending on its mass (in grams) and whether the car moves up or down an inclined plane. They decided to measure the amount of frictional force experienced by the model car and the distance it traveled in meters. The scientists were able to evaluate the frictional work using the following data. Mass (g) Distance (m) Force Work Done by Friction (J) car going up the incline 100 39 0.063 2.457 car going down the incline 70 39 0.2309 ? It is known that the relationship between force and distance determines the work done by friction (W+). W₁ = fd Wf work done by friction f = force d = distance Question: How much work done by friction was exerted on the car as it moved down the inclined plane?
