At a history center, an old canal boat is pulled by two draft horses. It doesn’t take much force to keep the boat moving; the drag force is quite small. But it takes some work to get the 55,000 kg boat up to speed! The horses can pull with a steady force and put a 1400 N tension in the rope that connects to the boat. The rope is straight and level. The boat starts from rest, and the horses pull steadily as they begin their walk down the towpath. How much distance do the horses cover as they bring the boat up to its final speed of 0.70 m/s?

- A boy has filled his toy box with all his favorite toys and it trying to drag it across the floor. The toy box has a mass of 35 kg (including the toys) and the child pulls with a force of 24 N at an angle of 30 degrees above horizontal (he is pulling mostly horizontally, but some of the force is pulling up). How will the normal force between the box and the ground change when the boy starts pulling? Your answer: The normal force will increase when he pulls. The normal force will decrease when he pulls. The normal force will stay the same.arrow_forwardThe figure below shows a bird feeder that weighs 199.9 N.

- Please help me. I desperately need it. A physics textbook lies flat on a horizontal table top. The book's front cover is facing up. If you slide the book very, very slowly toward the edge of the table (by pushing it horizontally, not by pulling it), it will eventually fall off and land on the floor. We did this experiment in one of our Class Meetings and the result was that the book most likely will end up on the floor with its front cover facing down. Why should this outcome happen? How could you prevent this outcome from happening so the book will end up on the floor with its front cover facing up? Consider changing the book, table, or the sliding procedure. Write down a mathematical model to verify your answers to 1 and 2. Use Newton's laws and conservation methods to to help you write a model that either proves or disproves 1) and 2).
