Sally is pushing a shopping cart with a force of 20 N. Because the wheels are stuck, the friction caused by the ground is exerti

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!

Which circuit has the largest equivalent resistance?.
Alexeev081 [22]
The series circuit has the higher equivalent resistance, but to find the larger equivalent resistance you have to use Ohm's law (V2=I2R2), the power dissipated by the resistor can also be found using P2=I22R2=V22R2. To find the equivalent resistance of the circuit, notice that the parallel connection of R2 and R3 is in series with R1, so the equivalent resistance is Req=R1+(1R2+1R3)−1=1.00Ω+(16.00Ω+113.00Ω)−1=5.10Ω.

A compact disc has a radius of 6 centimeters.
Vika [28.1K]
Circumference is 2\pi{r}=37.7 (approx.)
Speed is 4 times that. That is, 150.8 cm/s or 1.508 m/s.
If we get a point at distance 3 cm, we take the radius half of that. The circumference also gets half, so does the linear speed. We get 0.754 m/s or 75.398 cm/s.

A pole-vaulter is nearly motionless as he clears the bar, set 4.2 m above the ground. He then falls onto a thick pad. The top of
Mandarinka [93]

initial height of the Pole - vaulter = 4.2 m

now when he reached the top of the pad his height is 80 cm

so the total displacement of the person will be = 4.2 - 0.8 = 3.4 m

now we can use kinematics to find the speed just before he touch the pad

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 0 = 2*9.8*3.4

v_f^2 = 66.64

v_f = 8.16 m/s

now when he compressed on pad the distance after which he will stop is 50 cm

so now again using kinematics we can say

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 8.16^2 = 2*a*0.50

a = -66.64 m/s^2

so it is acceleration by -66.64 m/s^2

An unwary football player collides with a padded goalpost while running at a velocity of 5.70 m/s and comes to a full stop after
ollegr [7]
The relationship between the initial velocity, final velociy, distance, and deceleration can be expressed in the following equation.
          
                     2(a)(0.270 m) = 0² - (5.70 m/s)²

The value of a (which is the deceleration) is 0.06 m/s². Thus, the answer is that the deceleration value is approximately 0.06 m/s².
