Answer:

1.8 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the block.  There are four forces:

Normal force Fn up.

Weight force mg down.

Applied force F to the east.

Friction force Fn μ to the west.

Sum the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn − mg = 0

Fn = mg

Sum the forces in the x direction:

F − Fn μ = ma

F − mg μ = ma

a = (F − mg μ) / m

a = (12 N − 6 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.15) / 6 kg

a = 0.53 m/s²

Given:

Δx = 3 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 0.53 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (0.53 m/s²) (3 m)

v = 1.8 m/s

If the police are chasing a runaway car why is knowing the velocity of the car important
atroni [7]

If you only know its speed, that's not enough information to catch it. You could even chase it at DOUBLE that speed, and you'd never catch it if you were chasing in the wrong direction.

You also have to know the DIRECTION the runaway car is going, so that you can chase in the same direction.

Now that you know its speed AND direction, you know its velocity. You need that information to have any chance of catching it.

What is the first step in allopatric speciation?
fomenos

Answer:

The word Allopatric is derived from the Greek words allos = other and Patris = fatherland. Allopatric specification happens when the biological population of the same specie got separated from one another such that it stopped their gene flow or gene migration. It happens due to the geographical changes such as the movement of continents, changes in glaciers, mountains or oceans and it could be happened because of human activities like agriculture and industrial development etc.  The first step of Allopatric specification is Geographical isolation. The species got separated and the long distances makes them unable to interbreed.
