The vector force the wall is applying to the boy is -15 N; option D

<h3>What is a reaction force?</h3>

A reaction force is a force which is equal in magnitude but oppositely directed to a force acting in a particular direction.

The reaction force on the boy is equal in magnitude to the weight of the boy but has an opposite direction.

In conclusion, the vector force applied by the wall on the boy is -15 N.

A full lake is dropping at its constant rate, meaning it is unchanging over time.
After 4 weeks’ time, it already dropped 3 feet.
Now, let’s solve for the Unit rate based on the given data.
=> 3 feet in 4 weeks
=> Unit rate is 3 feet per 4 weeks
=> in 4 weeks there are (7 * 4) = 28 days
=> 3 feet / 28 days  
=> the Unit rate is .107 feet / day

Recall that in the equilibrium position, the upward force of the spring balances the force of gravity on the weight. Use this co
natima [27]

Recall that in the equilibrium position, the upward force of the spring balances the force of gravity on the weight is given below.

Explanation:

Measure unstretched length of spring, L.  E.g. L = 0.60m.

Set mass to a convenient value (e.g. m = 0.5kg).

Hang mass.

Measure new spring length, L'. E.g. L' = 0.70m.

Calculate extension: e = L' - L = 0.70 – 0.60 = 0.10m

Use mg = ke (in equilibrium weight = tension)

k = mg/e

Don't know what value you are using for example.  Suppose it is 10N/kg (same thing as 10m/s²).

k = 0.5*10/0.10 = 50 N/m

Repeat for a few different masses.  (L always stays the same.)

Take the average of your k values.

A force in the +x-direction with magnitude F(x)=18.0N−(0.530N/m)x is applied to a 8.40 kg box that is sitting on the horizontal,
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:v=7.24 m/s

Explanation:

Given

F(x)=18-0.530 x

mass m=8.40 kg

box is at rest at x=0

Distance traveled=16 m

mv\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} x}=F=\left ( 18-0530x\right )dx

\int_{0}^{v}vdv=\int_{0}^{16}\left ( 18-0.530x\right )dx

\frac{mv^2}{2}=\left ( 18x-0530\frac{x^2}{2}\right )_0^{16}

v^2=\frac{288-67.841\times 2}{8.40}

v=7.24 m/s
