The net force on the shopping cart is 12 N to the right.

This is a question related to Newton's Laws. It can be solved by using a Free body diagram, which shows all the forces acting on the object. There are 4 forces acting on the object:

  1. Gravity (g) pointing down.
  2. Normal (N) pointing up.
  3. Push force by Sally (Fp) pointing right.
  4. Friction force (Ff) pointing left.

Forces (1) and (2) cancel each other because they have the same magnitude, and the overall force is given by the addition of forces (3) and (4)

F=Fp+Ff=20N+ (-8N)=12N

The positive value indicates that the shopping cart is moving to the right.

Have a nice day!

Between this and the next assignment, we want to get a better under- standing of how light interacts with the eye. Here are two
STatiana [176]

Answer:

θ₁ = 3.35 10⁻⁴ rad ,  θ₂ = 8.39 10⁻⁵ rad

Explanation:

This is a diffraction problem for a slit that is described by the expression

       sin θ = m λ

the resolution is obtained from the angle between the central maximum and the first minimum corresponding to m = 1

      sin θ = λ / a

as in these experiments the angle is very small we can approximate the sine to its angle

        θ = λ / a

In this case, the circular openings are explicit, so the system must be solved in polar coordinates, which introduces a numerical constant.

       θ = 1.22 λ / D

where D is the diameter of the opening

 let's apply this expression to our case

indicates that the wavelength is λ = 550 nm = 550 10⁻⁹ m

the case of a lot of light D = 2 mm = 2 10⁻³ m

       θ₁ = 1.22 550 10-9 / 2 10⁻³

       θ₁ = 3.35 10⁻⁴ rad

For the low light case D = 8 mm = 8 10⁻³

      θ₂ = 1.22 550 10-9 / 8 10⁻³

      θ₂ = 8.39 10⁻⁵ rad

: Modeling Chemical Reactions
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

A Matter is not created or destroyed and the same amount of mass remains

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, according to the law of conservation of matter, "matter is neither created nor destroyed and the same amount of mass remains in such a process".

  • New kinds of products are formed in a chemical reaction because they undergo chemical changes.
  • The chemical changes results in energy changes and formation of new kinds of substances.
  • Based on the law of conservation of matter, mass is constant.
  • Mass is not lost or gained.

A stone is dropped into water from a bridge 52 m above the water's
dusya [7]

Answer:

Its final velocity and how much time it takes to reach the water

Explanation:

The motion of the stone is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation to determine its final velocity:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

s = 52 m is the distance covered during the fall

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0^2+2(9.8)(52)}=31.9 m/s

We can also find how much time it takes to reach the water, using the equation

v=u+at

where

v = 31.9 m/s is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2

t is the time

And solving for t,

t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{31.9-0}{9.8}=3.26 s
