Many of these dogs can pull weights two orders of magnitude greater than their own weight! Railsplitter, an American pit bull terrier, can pull a sled that has a total weight of 2215 lb along a horizontal surface. Suppose he pulls with a horizontal force of 3.50 103 N while friction is also working against the sled. If the magnitude of the net acceleration of the sled is 0.152 m/s2, find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction, k, between the sled and the pulling surface.

Each vertical loop, instead of being circular, is shaped like a teardrop (Fig. P5.22). The cars ride on the inside of the loop at the top, and the speeds are fast enough to ensure the cars remain on the track. The biggest loop is 40.0 in high. Suppose the speed at the top of the loop is 13.0 m/s and the corresponding centripetal acceleration of the riders is 2g. (a) What is the radius of the arc of the teardrop at the top? (b) If the total mass of a car plus the riders is M, what force does the rail exert on the car at the top? (c) Suppose the roller coaster had a circular loop of radius 20.0 m. If the care have the same speed, 13.0 m/s at the top, what is the centripetal acceleration of the riders at the top?
