A team of eight dogs pulls a sled with waxed wood runners on wet snow. The dogs have average masses of 16.5kg, and the loaded sled with its riders has a mass of 202kg. The coefficient of static and kinetic friction is .14 and .1 a. Calculate the acceleration starting from rest if each dog exerts an average force of 150N backward on the snow in m/s^2. b. What is the acceleration once the sled starts to move in m/s^2?...

The skiing duo of Brian (84 kg) and Ashley (42 kg) is always a crowd pleaser. In one routine, Brian, wearing wood skis, starts at the top of a 222-m-long, 23o slope. Ashley waits for him halfway down (i.e., at 111 meters from the top of the slope). As he skis past, she leaps into his arms and he carries her the rest of the way down the slope. (Note: The coefficient of kinetic friction between wood skis and snow...
