(a) The net force on the shopping cart is zero.

(b) The the force of friction on the shopping cart is 25 N.

(c) When same force is applied to the shopping cart on a wet surface, it will move faster.

<h3>Net force on the shopping cart</h3>

The net force on the shopping cart is calculated as follows;

F(net) = F - Ff

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • Ff is the frictional force

ma = F - Ff

where;

  • a is acceleration of the cart
  • m is mass of the cart

at a constant velocity, a = 0

0 = F - Ff

F(net)  = 0

F = Ff = 25 N

Net force is zero, and frictional force is equal to applied force.

<h3>On wet surface</h3>

Coefficient of kinetic friction of solid surface is greater than that of wet surface.

Since frictional force limit motion, when the frictional force is smaller, the object tends to move faster.

Thus, the cart will move faster on a wet surface due to decrease in friction.

An object of mass 2 kg starts from rest and is allowed to slide down a
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Given that an object of mass 2 kg starts from rest and is allowed to slide down a frictionless incline so that its height changes by 20 m. 

The parameters given from the question are:

Mass M = 2kg

Height h = 20m

Let g = 9.8m/s^2

At the bottom of the incline plane, the object will experience maximum kinetic energy.

From conservative of energy, maximum K.K.E = maximum P.E

Maximum P.E = mgh

Maximum P.E = 2 × 9.8 × 20 = 392 J

But

K.E = 1/2mv^2

Substitute the values of energy and mass into the formula

392 = 1/2 × 2 × V^2

V^2 = 392

V = sqrt( 392 )

V = 19.8 m/s

V = 20 m/s approximately

A lizard accelerates from 2 m/s to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. what is the lizard average acceleration
VLD [36.1K]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)

change in speed = (10 m/s) - (2 m/s)  =  8 m/s

Acceleration = (8 m/s) / (4 sec)

Acceleration = (8/4) (m/s²)

<em>Acceleration = 2 m/s²</em>

Physics question i appreciate your help please
den301095 [7]

Solution: From the given question, we shall find the vector quantity among the

(A) Time , (B) Velocity, (C) Distance , (D) Speed

Concept: <u>Vector Quantity: </u>All those physical quantities which have magnitude as well as specific directions, are called Vector Quantities.

Here, Time, Distance and Speed have only magnitude but have no directions so they will be scalar quantities.

Now, <u>Velocity:</u> It is defined as the change in displacement per unit time. Since the change in the displacement will be in particular direction only. Hence, velocity will be the vector quantity.

Hence, the option (B) Velocity will be the correct option.

The distance between 4 nodes (3 sections, 2 sections= wavelength) is 15.0cm. The frequency of the source is 10Hz. What's the spe
Natalija [7]

Answer:

the speed of the waves is 150 cm/s

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the wave, f = 10 Hz = 10

distance between 4 nodes, L = 15.0 cm

The wavelength (λ) of the wave is calculated as follows;

Node to Node = λ/2

L = 2(Node to Node) = (4 Nodes) = 2 (λ/2) = λ

Thus, λ = L = 15.0 cm

The speed (v) of the wave is calculated as follows;

v = fλ

v =  10 Hz   x  15.0 cm

v = 150 cm/s

Therefore, the speed of the waves is 150 cm/s

which do you think would be warmer on a winter day when there is no wind a thick forest or a grassy field? explain your answer
Tju [1.3M]
I think it would be warmer in a grassy field with no wind on a winter day because you'll have sunlight hitting you. However, if you were in a thick forest, all sunlight would be blocked and you would have no warmth from the sun.
