- One great form of athletic competition for bulldogs, American pit bull terriers, huskies, and many other breeds is the weight pull. Many of these dogs can pull weights two orders of magnitude greater than their own weight! Railsplitter, an American pit bull terrier, can pull a sled that has a total weight of 2215 lb along a horizontal surface. Suppose he pulls with a horizontal force of 3.50 103 N while friction is also working against the sled. If the magnitude of the net acceleration of the sled is 0.152 m/s2, find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction, k, between the sled and the pulling surface. (The sled is normally on a set of rails.)arrow_forwardThe spring shown in (Figure 1) is compressed 60 cm and used to launch a 100 kg physics student.

- You have a new internship, where you are helping to design a new freight yard for the train station in your city. There will be a number of dead-end sidings where single cars can be stored until they are needed. To keep the cars from running off the tracks at the end of the siding, you have designed a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated shown. When a car moves to the right in the figure and strikes the springs, they exert a force to the left on the car to slow it down. Both springs are described by Hooke’s law and have spring constants k1 = 1 600 N/m and k2 = 3 400 N/m. After the first spring compresses by a distance of d = 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force to the left on the car as shown. When the spring with spring constant k2 compresses by 50.0 cm, the coils of both springs are pressed together, so that the springs can no longer compress. A typical car on the siding has a mass of 6 000 kg.…arrow_forwardIf you push a box across the floor its "physics work" but if you push on the wall it's not. Which of the following choices best explains why? Question 12 options: The direction of the force on the box is not the same direction as the motion. You're applying a force to the box but you are not applying a force to the wall. You're not applying a force to the box but you are applying a force to the wall. The box is moving but the wall is not.arrow_forwardYou are using a modified block and tackle pulley system to lift a concrete block. You need to lift the concrete block (mass = 200 kg) a distance of 5 meters upward. The system is designed to reduce the force load of 4. How much rope must you pull down on the other side of the pulley to lift the block the proper distance? Hint: There is a very simple way to solve this if you remember that work in = work out.arrow_forward
- Your answer is partially correct. A 19-kg sled is being pulled along the horizontal snow-covered ground by a horizontal force of 21 N. Starting from rest, the sled attains a speed of 1.8 m/s in 8.1 m. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the runners of the sled and the snow. Number 0.09 Units No unitsarrow_forwardA 52.5-kg sled is pulled across a horizontal icy surface as in the figure. The horizontal pulling force of magnitude P is directed opposite to a constant 35.0-N kinetic friction force. Starting from rest, the sled acquires a final speed of 2.25 m/s after being pulled a distance of 20.0 m. Two forces act on a sled that is on a horizontal surface. An arrow labeled vector fk extends from the left side of the sled and points left. An arrow labeled vector P extends from the right side of the sled and points right. The lengths of the arrows are approximately equal to each other. What is the magnitude P of the pulling force? N?arrow_forwardUsing an everyday example, explain a situation where friction is detrimental. In your answer specify the type of friction involved and how it acts in a detrimental manner.arrow_forward
