The difference in the force exerted by the ground during a race between these two species is 259.25

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Forces are influences that can change the movement of an object. A force can change the velocity of an object with mass, i.e. accelerate it. Forces can also be described intuitively by pushing or pulling. A force has both magnitude and direction and is a vector quantity.

Force exerted by the lion:

Normal force = mg

170 = m × 9.8

m = 17.34 kg

Forward force = ma

= 17.34 × 10.0

= 173.4 N

Total force = Normal force + Forward force

Total force = 170 + 173.4

= 343.4 N

Force exerted by the man:

Normal force = mg

75 = m × 9.8

m = 7.65 kg

Forward force = ma

= 7.65 × 10.0

= 76.5 N

Total force = Normal force + Forward force

Total force = 7.65 + 76.5

= 84.15 N

The difference in the forces exerted by these species is:

343.4 N - 76.5 N = 259.25 N

We are given the total volume of liquid equal to 3392.92 cubic inches and a total of 30 glass spheres to be poured in. In this case, we divide the volume by 30 equal to 113.0973 cubic inches. The formula of the volume of a sphere is 4/3 pi r^3. r then is equal to 3 inches in which the diameter should be 6 inches.

Anna [14]

Answer: a= 37m

Explanation: V= 15 m/s (Velocity) t= 0.41s (time) formula: a= v/t

15 m/s / 0.41 (15 divided by 0.41) = 36.583m

There are 2 significant digits, 36, you look at the third digit, either round up or down in this case up to 36. a= 37m
