It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. You've both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is. You've been walking at a steady 1.5 m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a 41° angle. You estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 63 kg and that you're pulling with a force of 90 N. ▼ Part A What answer will you give? Submit ΑΣΦ Request Answer ?

We are performing an experiment to calculate drag coefficient that involved dropping a beach ball off of an indoor balcony and recording the time it takes to hit the ground. Would the drag coefficient be positive or negative? My group and I are stuck wondering if acceleration due to gravity should be negative or positive when calculating for D in the following equation. And also we dont know if velocity in the equation should be negative since it is travelling in the negative y direction.
Somebody is riding a skateboard and holding a wire that is tied to a car. The wire makes a 17° angle with the horizontial. The tension on the wire is 175N. The friction between the skateboard and the road is 80N. They have a mass of 81kg. Create a free body diagram and find the acceleration.

Some object with mass 0.1 Kg slides along a flat surface. Friction exists. Horizontal force of 1N is acted on the object, and consequently, the object has constant acceleration of 2.65 m/s^21. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction? 2. Say the object is pushed onto a slope with an inclination of 30 degrees. What will acceleration be, if the coefficient uk between the object and slope is the same?

ou are pushing your friend in his wheelchair. You are both taking his dog, Wrathbone, to the vet. Wrathbone is 5 kg and is sitting in your friend’s lap. You decide to increase the wheelchair’s acceleration to 7 ms2 in order to get up a steep ramp. If your friend has a mass of 46 kg and his wheelchair has a mass of 16 kg. What is the force you are applying?

A contestant in a winter sports contest pulls a 41 kg block of ice in the positive horizontal direction with a rope over his shoulders over a frozen lake as shown in the figure. Assume the coefficients of static and kinetic friction are us=0.1 and uk=0.03. Calculate the minimum force F he must exert to get the block sliding in newtons. What is ths acceleration in m/s2 once it starts to move, if that force is maintained?
