4. A 75 kg bobsled is pushed along a horizontal surface by two athletes. After the
bobsled is pushed a distance of 4.5 m starting from rest, its speed is 6.0 m/s. Find
the magnitude of the net force on the bobsled.

Respuesta :

The net force on the sled is 300 N

Explanation:

First of all, we start by finding the acceleration of the bobsled, by using the suvat equation:

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as[/tex]

where:

v = 6.0 m/s is the final velocity of the sled

u = 0 is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s = 4.5 m is the displacement of the sled

Solving for a, we find

[tex]a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{6.0^2-0}{2(4.5)}=4 m/s^2[/tex]

Now we can find the net force on the sled by using Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force

m = 75 kg is the mass of the sled

[tex]a=4 m/s^2[/tex] is the acceleration

Solving the equation, we find the net force:

[tex]F=(75)(4)=300 N[/tex]
