(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.

What will be the final velocity of a rock if we drop it off of a bridge and it strikes the ground 2.8s later (ignoring air resis
mars1129 [50]
Formula for final velocity: Vf= vi+(a*t)
Vi- initial velocity, a=acceleration, t-time

Vf=vi+(at)
Vf= 0+(9.8m/s*2.8s)
Vf= 27.44 m/s

The acceleration of the Earth when dropping something would be 9.8 m/s

Here is an reference that can help you answer problems like these.
Hope this helps and good luck :)

Suppose we have two planets with the same mass, but the radius of the second one is twice the size of the first one. How does th
bogdanovich [222]

The free-fall acceleration on the second planet is one-fourth the value of the first planet.

Calculation:

Consider the mass of planet A to be, M

               the mass of planet B to be, Mₓ = M

               the radius of planet A to be, R₁

               the radius of planet B to be, R₂

The acceleration due to gravity on planet A's surface is given as:

g = GM/R₁²      - (1)

Similarly, the acceleration due to gravity on planet B's surface is given as:

g' = GM/R₂²                           [where, R₂ = 2R₁]

   = GM/4R₁²    -(2)

From equation 1 & 2, we get:

g/g' = GM/R₁² ÷ GM/4R₁²

g/g' = 4/1

Thus we get,

g' = 1/4 g

Therefore, the free-fall acceleration on the second planet is one-fourth the value of the first planet.
