You are pulling a sled using a horizontal rèpe, as shown in the diagram. The rope pulls the sled. exerting a force of 50 N to the right. The snow exerts a friction force of 30 N on the sled to the left. The mass of the sled is 50 kg.

Please help me with this

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

net force = applied force - friction force

= 50-30

= 20N to right

acceleration = net force/mass

= 20/50

= 2/5m/s tp right

final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration*time

= 2+2/5*5

= 4m/s to right

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From your other post, the complete question is:

"You are pulling a sled using a horizontal rèpe, as shown in the diagram. The rope pulls the sled. exerting a force of 50 N to the right. The snow exerts a friction force of 30 N on the sled to the left. The mass of the sled is 50 kg.

Find the sum of the force on the sled.

Determine the acceleration of the sled .

If the sled has an initial velocity 2m/s to the right, how fast will it be traveling after 5 seconds?

"

Given the rope exerting a force of 50 N to the right and the snow exerts a friction force of 30 N to the left, the sum of forces

= 50 - 30

= 20N to the right

The mass of sled is 50 kg and force = mass * acceleration.

Acceleration = Force / mass

= 20 / 50 = 0.4 m/s^2 to the right

If the sled has an initial velocity 2m/s to the right, after 5 seconds it will be traveling at initial velocity + acceleration * time

= 2 + 0.4*5

= 4 m/s to the right
