2. If the rope is at an angle above the horizontal,
how will the other forces on the sled be
affected? Explain why.
2. If the rope is at an angle above the horizontal,
how will the other forces on the sled be
affected? Explain why.
Weight will not be affected.
Normal force will be decreased because the applied
force will have a vertical upward component.
Friction will be decreased because the normal force will
be decreased.
3. What is the net force acting on the sled? Explain
why it is impossible to describe the motion of
the sled without more information.
The net force equal to the horizontal component of the
applied force minus the frictional force (vertical
forces cancel out).
You don’t know if the sled is speeding up or slowing
down because you don’t know which force is larger.
