Question

The speed of a bobsled is increasing, because it has an acceleration of 2.08 m/s2. At a given instant in time, the forces resisting the motion, including kinetic friction and air resistance, total 700 N. The mass of the bobsled and its riders is 251 kg. (a) What is the magnitude of the force propelling the bobsled forward? (b) What is the magnitude of the net force that acts on the bobsled?

Step 1

08 m/s^2 Frictional force (F) = 700 N The forward force is given by: Forward force = Mass x Acceleration + Frictional force Forward force = 251 kg x 2.08 m/s^2 + 700 N Forward force = 522.08 N + 700 N Forward force = 1222.08 N ** Show more…
