A student pulls horizontally on a 12 kg box, which then moves horizontally with an acceleration of 0.2 m/s^2. If the student use
polet [3.4K]
The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction. 
                         Fnet = ma = F - Ff
                           12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
                             Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.

Two forces of 50 N and 30N respectively, are acting on an object. Find the net force (in N) on the object if
xxTIMURxx [149]

A) the forces are acting in the same direction.. B) Together, forces are acting in opposite directions

Answer:

A) 80 N

B) 20 N

Explanation:

A) If the forces acting are in the same direction, then the net force will be a sum of both so many faces..

Thus;

ΣF = 50 + 30

ΣF = 80 N

B) If the forces are acting in the in opposite directions with the larger force pointing in the positive y-axis then, the net force is;

ΣF = 50 - 30

ΣF = 20 N

A mechanic changing the spark plugs in a car notes that the instruction manual calls for a torque with a magnitude of
Papessa [141]

The magnitude (in N) of the force she must exert on the wrench is 150.1 N.

<h3>Force exerted by the wrench</h3>

The force exerted by the wrench is calculated using torque formula as follows;

torque, τ = F x r x sinθ

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • r is the perpendicular distance if force applied

F =  τ /(r sinθ)

F = (39) / (0.3 sin 60)

F = 150.1 N

Thus, the magnitude (in N) of the force she must exert on the wrench is 150.1 N.
