Chapter 5, Problem 40PQ
A sleigh is being pulled horizontally by a train of horses at a constant speed of 8.05 m/s. The magnitude of the normal force exerted by the snow-covered ground on the sleigh is 6.37 × 103 N.
- a. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sleigh and the ground is 0.23, what is the magnitude of the kinetic friction force experienced by the sleigh?
- b. If the only other horizontal force exerted on the sleigh is due to the horses pulling the sleigh, what must be the magnitude of this force?

- Please help me with this physics problemarrow_forwardIn a scene from The Avengers (the first one) Black Widow is boosted directly upwards by Captain America, where she then grabs on to a Chitauri speeder that is 15.0 feet above her and hangs on. She is in the air for 1.04 s. A) With what initial velocity was Black Widow launched? 1 m = 3.28 ft B) What was Black Widow’s velocity just before she grabbed the speeder? Assume upwards is the positive direction.arrow_forwardIn Dark Souls 3 you can kill the Ancient Wyvern by dropping on its head from above it. Let’s say you jump off the ledge with an initial velocity of 3.86 mph and spend 1.72 s in the air before hitting the wyvern’s head. Assume the gravity is the same as that of Earth and upwards is the positive direction. Also, 1 mile = 1609 m. A) How high up is the the ledge you jumped from as measured from the wyvern’s head? B) What is your velocity when you hit the wyvern?arrow_forward
