A 545 N sled is pulled a distance of 385 m. The task is done by pulling on a rope with a force of 1225 N at an angle of 19° with the horizontal. How much work is done in pulling the sled? What is the acceleration in the x direction, assuming that friction is negligible? Assuming the sled started at rest, how long does it take to pull the sled 185 m?

Sagot :

The work done in pulling the sled is 445,930.2 Joules.

The acceleration in the x direction, assuming that friction is negligible, is  20.85 m/s².

Time taken to pull the sled 185 m is 4.21s.

What is work done?

Work done is equal to product of force applied and distance moved.

Given is a 545 N sled is pulled a distance of 385 m. The task is done by pulling on a rope with a force of 1225 N at an angle of 19° with the horizontal.

Work = Force x Distance x cos(angle)

W= 1225 x 385 x cos 19°

W = 445,930.2 Joules

Thus, the  work done in pulling the sled is 445,930.2 Joules

From the Newton's second law of motion, we have'

F = ma

acceleration, a = 1225cos19° / ( 545 /9.81)

a = 20.85 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration in the x direction is  20.85 m/s²

Using the second equation of motion, we get

s = ut+ 1/2 at²

Substitute the values, we have

185 m = 0 +1/2 x 20.85 x t²

t = 4.21 s

Thus, the time taken to pull the sled 185 is 4.21s.
