his wagon . So, Person B lets Person A to sit on his wagon and takes Person’s A place in crossing a 25m-long bridge. Starting from rest,
Person B pulls Person A and the sleigh with a 130-N force 30° above
the horizontal against the ground's frictional force of 95N.

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the plane and the block is 0.30. a) Find the mass m2 if it is to descend 12.0 m in the first 3.00 s after the system is released from rest. b) Find the mass m2 for which the block m1 accelerate down the plane at a rate same as the magnitude in (a).arrow_forwardAs a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by the tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A record Chinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 61.0 kg. If this fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of 6.00 m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface, assume constant acceleration and determine (a) the salmon’s acceleration and (b) the magnitude of the force F during this interval.arrow_forward

A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and began to pull on the handle with a force of 6.40 N at an angle of 25° with respect to vertical. Red was not going to let go easily, so she pulled on the handle with a force of 13.5 N. If the net force on the basket is straight up, at what angle was Red Riding Hood pulling from the vertical? I was given the WRONG answer this morning! The force that Red applied was 13.5N NOT 12.2 N! Use 13.5 N! I use this service primarily to check my work. If the "experts" are using the wrong values, I question if they will use the right mathematical procedures if I really have a challenge!arrow_forward
