According to the net force, the acceleration of the book is 16.47 m/s².

We need to know about force to solve this problem. According to second Newton's Law, the force applied to an object will be proportional to mass and acceleration. Hence, it can be written as

∑F = m . a

where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration

From the question above, we know that

m = 3 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

F1 = 20 N

Find the net force

∑F = F1 + W

∑F = 20 + m . g

∑F = 20 + 3 . 9.8

∑F = 20 + 29.4

∑F = 49.4 N

Find the acceleration

∑F = m . a

49.4 = 3 . a

a = 16.47 m/s²

You walk six blocks east along 12th Street, then three blocks west, then one block east, then six blocks east, then seven blocks
Oksana_A [137]
Displacement depends upon the path taken as it is a vector.

From your problem above we would have a total displacement of;
Defining +x direction as east and -x direction as west

6east-3west+1east+6east-7west

6-3+1+6-7=3 blocks east or + x-direction

So even though they walked a total of 17 blocks it ends up only being 3 blocks total in +xdirection that was travelled by displacement.

Any questions please ask.

Consider the classic problem with holiday lights, one little bulb goes out and the whole string goes out. First consider a strin
Flura [38]

Answer:

<em>a. 0.33 Amp</em>

<em>b. 2.4 Volt</em>

<em>c. 0</em>

<em>d. 2.45 Amp</em>

<em>e. Infinite</em>

<em>f. Series is safer</em>

Explanation:

<u>Series Connection of Resistors</u>

When two or more resistors are connected in series, the current through each one of them is the same, and the voltage divides depending on the particular value of each resistance. If all the resistances are equal, then the voltage is equally divided.

a. The string of 50 bulbs is connected to a 120 VAC outlet and consumes 40 W. The power of a circuit is given by

P=V.I

Solving for I

\displaystyle I=\frac{P}{V}=\frac{40}{120}=0.33\ Amp

Since all the bulbs are connected in series the current is the same for all of them.

b. The voltage is equally divided, so each bulb has  120/50= 2.4 V

c. If one of the bulbs burns out and its resistance becomes infinite, then the series circuit is open and no current flows through it, neither through the rest of the bulbs. The typical case of the whole string going out.

d. If one of the bulbs short circuits, the resistance of that bulb is zero and the voltage is distributed by the 49 remaining bulbs. Thus the new current is

\displaystyle I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{120}{49}=2.45\ A

e. If the bulbs were connected in parallel, all of them would have the same voltage, and the total current will be equally divided among them. In that case, a short circuit in one of the bulbs will cause a parallel short, theoretically producing an infinite current and making the short circuit protection blow up.

f. The condition described above makes the strings be made of series-connected bulbs which is safer than the parallel circuit. If a single bulb shorts, the entire string goes out in a series connection, but the breaker would trigger disconnection of the house circuit if it's a parallel connection. That is why we must deal with unusable strings instead of burning cables.

An 92-kg football player traveling 5.0m/s in stopped in 10s by a tackler. What is the original kinetic energy of the player? Exp
Artemon [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the football player, m = 92 kg

Velocity of player, v = 5 m/s

Time taken, t = 10 s

(1) We need to find the original kinetic energy of the player. It is given by :

k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

k=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2

k = 1150  J

In two significant figure, k=1.2\times 10^3\ J

(2) We know that work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. Work done per unit time is called power of the player. We need to find the average power required to stop him. So, his final velocity v = 0

i.e. P=\dfrac{W}{t}=\dfrac{\Delta K}{t}

P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2}{10\ s}

P = 115 watts

In two significant figures, P=1.2\times 10^2\ Watts

Hence, this is the required solution.

If the trend changed toward traditional (pre-World War II) families, how would that affect women’s rights?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

If the trend changed toward traditional (pre-World War II) families, the women’s rights are employment in manufacturing sector.

<h3>What is World war?</h3>

The war between two countries to take over each other's kingdom using weapons to kill each other.

Before the world war, the army needs armor, weapons, guns and tanks. Their manufacturing is only possible with many workers to work for long hours. If the men are not enough, then women are given opportunities to work with them.

Thus, the women’s rights are employment in manufacturing sector when trend changed traditional families.
