Kristen decides to go sledding with her sister Mary after a huge snowstorm. Kristen has a mass of 50kg and Mary has a mass of 57.5kg.
Both sisters take turns, pushing each other down the large hill. The free
diagram shows the forces acting on the sled. If the sled has a mass of
5kg, and each sister rides the sled with the same forces, what is the rate
of acceleration for both Kristin and Mary?

Acylinder with a movable piston contains 11.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 1.32×10^5 pa. the gas is initially at a temperature of 300 k. an electric heater adds 43200 j of energy into the gas while the piston moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant. cp=20.79 j k^−1 mol^−1 for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to avogadro's number (6.022×10^23) times the number of moles of the gas. (a) what is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added? (b) what is the change in volume of the gas? (c) how much work is done by the gas during this process?
