The net force is defined as the vector sum of all the forces that are present in an object. The formula for net force is F=ma. Everything else cancels out like the force of gravity on the car, and the reactive force of the road surface, etc. It can be concluded that the force exerted by the trailer on the car is the same as that exerted by the car on the trailer. Given that the acceleration is 1.75 m/s^2, the car is 1200 kilograms, and the trailer is 540 kilograms. Thus, the net force acting on the car is equal to 21qkm/hr^2

A spacecraft is fueled using hydrazine (N2H4; molecular weight of 32 grams per mole [g/mol]) and carries 1640 kilograms [kg] of
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The value is t = 689.029 \  hours

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The molar mass of hydrazine is Z =  32 g/mol = \frac{32}{1000} = 0.032 \  kg/mol

The initial temperature is T_i  =  -186 ^o F = (-186-32) *\frac{5}{9} +273.15 = 152\ K

The final temperature is T_f  =  78 ^o F = (78-32) *\frac{5}{9} +273.15 = 298.7 \ K

The specific heat capacity is c_h  =  0.099 [kJ/(mol K)] = 0.099 *10^3 J/(mol/K)

The power available is P = 300 \ W

The mass of the fuel is m =   1640 \  kg

Generally the number of moles of hydrazine present is

n  =  \frac{m}{Z}

=> n  =  \frac{1640}{= 0.032}

=> n  =  51250 \ mol

Generally the quantity of heat energy needed is mathematically represented as

Q =  n * c_h * (T_f -T_i)

=> Q =  51250  * 0.099 *10^3  * (298.7 - 152)

=> Q =  7.441516913 * 10^{8} \  J

Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

t =  \frac{Q}{P}

=> t =  \frac{7.441516913 * 10^{8} }{300}

=> t = 2480505.6377 s

Converting to hours

t = \frac{2480505.6377}{3600}

=> t = 689.029 \  hours

How much work does it take to move a 50 μC charge<br> against a 12 V potential difference?
lukranit [14]
<span>work =V*Q =12*50*10^-6

The total work done will be equal to 

work = V.Q

which means 

w= 12 . 50.10^-6
Hence,
w= 0.0006 J</span>

what is the force of friction between an 80kg box and the ground on Earth if the coefficient is 0.2?​
Reil [10]

Answer:

160N

Explanation: When 80kg mass is one group . It's reaction force acting on a ground.

Weight of the object = 80*10

= 800 N

Here we are given cofficient of static friction its 0.2. It should be smaller than 1

Friction force = Reaction * Friction Cofficient

Reaction = 800N ( Considering Vertical Equilibrium )

F = 800* 0.2

F = 160N
