Question

 A sled of mass 50.0 kg is pulled along the flat, snow-covered ground.  The static friction coefficient is 0.30, and the kinetic friction is 0.10.

 

  • What does the sled weigh?
  • What force will be needed to start the sled moving?
  • What force is needed to keep the sled moving at a constant velocity?
  • * Once moving, what total force must be applied to the sled to accelerate it at 

3.0 m/s2?
