Question

consider this situation: a father uses a rope to pull a child on a sled at a constant speed. of the forces listed, identify which act upon the sled. tap to select the forces that are present. normal gravity applied friction tension air resistance check answers

Explanation:

To determine the forces acting on the sled:

• Normal Force: Exerted by the ground upward, balancing gravity.
• Gravity: Pulls the sled downward toward Earth.
• Applied Force: The father’s pull (via tension) is an applied force.
• Friction: Opposes motion (since the sled moves at constant speed, friction balances the horizontal pull).
• Tension: Force from the rope pulling the sled.
• Air Resistance: Opposes the sled’s motion through air.

All these forces act on the sled in this scenario.

Answer:

Normal, Gravity, Applied, Friction, Tension, Air Resistance
