What is the mechanical work done by explorer on the sled

Reference no: EM13535799

A polar explorer pulls a sled on dry snow (the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.12 for sled on snow). The rope attached to the sled pulls at an angle of 9° above the horizontal and the explorer pulls with with 600 N of force. The sled has a total mass 71 kg. While the explorer pulls the sled for a horizontal distance of 41 m (before he needs to take a break),

a) What is the mechanical work done by the explorer (i.e. the rope) on the sled?

What direction is the coriolis force : On the salt flats of Bonnevile, Utah (latitude ?41?^o N) the British auto racer John Cobb in 1947 became the first man to travel at a speed of 400 mph on land. If he was headed due north at this speed, find the ratio of the magnitude of the Coriolis ..

Find the acceleration of the box relative to truck and road : A truck is traveling on a level road. The driver applies the brakes causing the truck to decelerate by an amount g/2. This causes a box in the rear of the truck to slide forward. If the coefficient of sliding friction between the box and the truckbed..
