D Question 12 A moose pulls a 230-kg sled across a flat surface. The moose is connected to the sled by a rope that is angled 35 degrees from the horizontal direction, and the moose creates a constant tension of 850 N in the rope. Assume that friction between the sled and the ground is negligible. If the moose and sled start out motionless and the moose pulls the sled 19 meters across the ground, when is the moose pulling with the maximum amount of power? At the end. At the start The power is the same the whole time. Question 13 A moose pulls a 205-kg sled across a flat surface. The moose is connected to the sled by a rope that is angled 31.3 degrees from the horizontal direction, and the moose creates a constant tension of 864 N in the rope.

1. You are working as a letter sorter in the Post Office. Postal regulations require that employees' footwear must have a minimum coefficient of static friction of 0.5 on a specified tile surface. You are wearing athletic shoes for which you do not know the coefficient of static friction. In order to determine the coefficient, you imagine that there is an emergency and start running across the room. You have a co-worker time you, and find that you can begin at rest and move 4.23 m in 1.20 s. If you try to move faster than this, your feet slip. Assuming your acceleration is constant, does your footwear qualify for the postal regulation? 7
Coulomb’s law tells us that the electrostatic force between two charged objects can be calculated by: ?= ??1?2/?^2Where k is a constant with a value of 8.99x109 Nm2/C2; ?1 and ?2 are the charges of the two particles (1.602x10-19 C), and r is the distance between the two particles. The force is attractive if the charges of the two particles is opposite (one’s positive and one’s negative) and repulsive if the charges have the same charge (both positive or both negative). Calculate the electrostatic force on proton #1 from the other two protons.Will the gravitational force between the protons be attractive or repulsive? What about the electrostatic force? Which has the larger magnitude, the electrostatic force or the gravitational force? Can the electrostatic and gravitational forces alone create a stable Lithium nucleus?
