A loaded 320 kg toboggan is traveling on smooth horizontal snow at 4.60 m/s when it suddenly comes to a rough region. The region is 8.60 m long and reduces the toboggan's speed by 1.20 m/s. What average friction force did the rough region exert on the toboggan?

367.04 N

Explanation:

Frictional force = mass of the toboggan×deceleration caused by the rough region

Fr = m×ar Equation 1

Where Fr = Average frictional force, m = mass of loaded toboggan, ar = deceleration cause by the rough region.

We can calculate for ar using the formula below

v² = u²+2ars Equation 2

make ar the subject of the equation

ar = (v²-u²)/2s Equation 3

Where v = final velocity of the toboggan, u = initial velocity of the toboggan, s = distance or length of the rough region

Given: v = 1.2 m/s, u = 4.6 m/s, s = 8.6 m

Substitute into equation 3

ar = (1.2²-4.6²)/(2×8.6)

ar = (1.44-21.16)/17.2

ar = -19.72/17.2

ar = -1.147 m/s²

Also given: m = 320 kg

Substitute into equation 1

Fr = 320(-1.147)

Fr = -367.04 N

Note: The negative sign tells that the frictional force opposes the motion of the toboggan

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.

in most common fires, oxygen is needed for an oxidation reaction to takes place. the combination of oxygen with any element as fuel can create fire and combustion will occur especially if wood, light materials and other combustible things are combine with oxygen.
