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.

What is garden tractor pulling?
Garden tractor pulling is an event where people hook up tracters to sleds filled with weight and then the tractors start to pull the sled and see how far the can go before spinning out.
What law of motion has to do with a dog pulling q sled?
The law of motion that relates to a dog pulling a sled is Newton's third law of motion. It states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, as the dog exerts force on the sled by pulling it forward, there is an equal and opposite force exerted by the sled on the dog, enabling the forward movement of the sled.
How does Santa's sled move?

What are truck pulls?

What uses do Siberian Huskies have for mankind?
Sled pulling
How does a tractor with more weights pull a sled further than a tractor without weights?
it will hold the road better
Why is it difficult to push a sled than to pull it?
Pulling a sled tends to lif the sled and decrease friction thus making less difficult. Pushing does the opposite.
What would result in greater friction riding a sled down a snowy slope or pulling it across a sidewalk?
Pulling a sled across a sidewalk because rougher surfaces have more friction.
Why is it usually difficult to push a sled than to pull it?
Pulling a sled tends to lif the sled and decrease friction thus making less difficult. Pushing does the opposite.
What competions are huskies good at?
