What is the force that keeps you from sliding off a sled when it starts moving?

Friction


When you push on a sled and it begins to go downhill you cause what accelartion?

The acceleration is caused by the force of gravity on the sled combined with the force you exert on the sled by pushing it.


What holds you to a sled when going down a hill?

Friction and a good grip.


Is it true that a sled accelerating downhill the force of gravity must be greater than the normal force?

Not at all. The force of gravity must be greater than the friction force, but if the sled is on any kind of slope, then it doesn't matter what the normal force is.


Is the force of friction greater between two children on a sled and the snow or between only one of the children on the same sled and the snow?

The force of friction is proportional to the force which surfaces press against each other. Since two people will cause the sled to push harder on the snow then one person, the friction will be greater for two people on the sled.

What are the physics involved in tractor pulling a sled?

When a tractor is pulling a sled there is the mass and gravity of both the tractor and sled slowing it down. There is also tension in the rope pulling the sled. whenever physics is involved to solve a force there is usually a frictional force acting on the objects. The formula to use is F=ma. The total mass is the mass of the objects put together and the total force is the force that the tractor is pulling at minus mg (mass x gravity) and minus the frictional force. The tension (T) is calculated using the formula T=W+ma (W=mgh), using only the mass of the sled.


How much force is excerted on a sled if the mass of the sled is 65kg and the acceleration is 4 ms2?

The acceleration of the sled is .18m/s2
