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!

A 2.0 kg wood block is launched up a wooden ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle. The block’s initial speed is 10 m/s. What vert
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Vertical Height = 0.784 meter, Speed back at starting point = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given Data:

V is the overall velocity vector, Vi and Ui are its initial vertical and horizontal components

R = 10 m/s\\ Projection Angle (theta) = 30 degrees\\Vi   = 10*sin(30) = 5 m/s\\Ui  = 10*cos(30) = 8.66 m/s

To find:

Max Height h achieved

Calculation:

1) Using the 3^{rd} equation of motion, we know

2*a*s = Vf^{2}  - Vi^{2}

2) In terms of gravity g height h and  the vertical component of Velocity Vf , Vi.

3) As Vf = 0 as at maximum height the vertical component of velocity is zero maximum height achieved

2*g*h = Vf^{2}  -Vi^{2}

putting values

4) h = 0.784 m/s

5) As for the speed when it reaches back its starting point, it will have a speed similar to its launching speed, the reason being the absence of air friction (Air drag)

Rus_ich [418]
<span>1. Kuiper Belt object is made of frozen is made of frozen gas, ice, and dust that orbits in the outermost reaches of the solar system. Kuiper belt is a region which is filled with icy gaz bodies. Its structure is almost the same as the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Pluto, Makemake, Haumea are the officially recognized planets which are located in this region. 2. In my opinion, the most suitable option is: 3) The planets formed at the center of a collapsing spinning cloud of gas and dust. According to theory of solar system formation, the solar system appeared after a supernova (star explosion). A cloud of gas and dust was collapsed, and it caused a formation of a solar nebula.

What is keeping all variables the same except for the one being tested an example of?
stepan [7]

Answer:

A fair test.

Explanation:

Hi, a fair test is used to do scientifically valuable experiments, is a controlled investigation to answer a scientific question.

In a fair test two or more things are compared.

It consists in changing only one factor (the one bieng tested) and keeping all the other conditions the same during an experiment.

The factor is called a variable.

For a specific volume of 0.2 m3/kg, find the quality of steam if the absolute pressure is (a) 40 kPa and (b) 630 kPa. What is th
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

x=0.0498

x'=0.659

Explanation:

Specific Volume V=0.2m_3/kg

Absolute Pressure (a) P_a= 40kpa

Giving

T_a=75.87

v_f=1.265*10^{-3}m^3/kg

v_g=3.993m^3/kg

                               (b) P_a= 630kpa

Giving

T_b=160.13C

v_f'=1.10282*10^{-3} m^3/kg

v_g'=0.30286 m^3/kg

(a)

Generally the equation for quality of Steam X  is mathematically given by

x=\frac{v-v_f}{v_g-v_f}

x=\frac{0.2-1.0265*10^{-3}}{3.993-1.0265*10^{-3}}

x=0.0498

(b)

Generally the equation for quality of Steam X  is mathematically given by

x'=\frac{v-v_f'}{v_g'-v_f'}

x'=\frac{0.2-1.10*10^{-3}}{3.30-1.1*10^{-3}}

x'=0.659
