Chapter 4, Problem 35P
|| BIO Human biomechanics. World-class sprinters can spring out of the starting blocks with an acceleration that is essentially horizontal and of magnitude 15 m/s2. (a) How much horizontal force must a 55-kg sprinter exert on the starting blocks during a start to produce this acceleration? (b) What exerts the force that propels the sprinter, the blocks or the sprinter himself?

|| 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 30° angle. You estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 60 kg
and that you're pulling with a force of 75 N. What answer will you give?
Could someone please help? Thank you so much ☺️
