The acceleration that the same force will provide if both masses are tied together is; 6.0 m/s².

<h3>How to find the Acceleration?</h3>

We are given;

Force; F = 5 N

Acceleration of the first mass, a₁ = 8.0 m/s²

Acceleration of the second mass, a₂ = 24 m/s²

Formula for force is;

F = ma

Let us find both masses; m₁ and m₂.

m₁ = F/a₁

m₂ = F/a₂

Thus;

m₁ = 5/8 kg

m₂ = 5/24 kg

Total mass is; m = m₁ + m₂

m = 5/8 + 5/24

m = 15 + 5/24

m = 20/24 kg

Thus, acceleration if they are both tied together is;

a = F/m

a = 5/(20/24)

a = 6.0 m/s².

A wagon weighs 1,800 N and is pulled by a horse at a speed of 0.40 meters/ second. What is the power of this horse
Alona [7]

Answer:

Power=720[watt]

Explanation:

We need to remember the definition of mechanical work which is equal to the product of the force applied by the distance traveled.

In this problem, we have to find the power which is defined as the work divided into the time in which such work is performed. This way if we have the displacement and the time, this will be the speed with which this work is done.

Power= W/T\\T=time [s]\\W=work [J]\\Power = F*V\\where\\V=velocity [m/s]\\Power=1800 * 0.4 = 720 [watt]
