The frictional force is 15 N

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we can apply Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

Here we are just interested in the situation along the horizontal direction. The net force acting on the block is:

\sum F = F_a -F_f

where

F_a = 40 N is the applied force (forward)

F_f is the frictional force (backward)

m = 5 kg is the mass of the block

a=5 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting into the equation and solving, we find the frictional force:

F_a-F_f = ma\\F_f = F_a-ma=40-(5)(5)=15 N

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

weight

Explanation:

the weight of an object on an airline is one of the most important thing a pilot has to consider when prepping a flight and that is because if there is too much weight then the plane simply can't fly. imagine if everyone wanted to bring a 50 kg box. there are at least  200 people.  that alone is 10,000 lg of weight than you have to factor in all the people, wires on the plane, and certain appliances that some planes have.

An opera singer who is a baritone, lowers his pitch and raises his voice for a song. Which best describes how the resulting soun
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: 3.

Explanation:

The correct answer is a higher amplitude and lower frequency. Since an opera singer is lowering his pitch it means that he is creating higher amplitude and because he is raising his voice for a song with that higher amplitude he is creating lower frequency.

The amount of movement of the particles depends on the amount of _________ acting on them and their relationship to other atoms.
Liula [17]

Answer: The amount of movement of the particles depends on the amount of <u>force</u> acting on them and their relationship to other atoms.

Explanation:

The inter-atomic force determines the inter-atomic distance which governs the amount of movement of the particles.

For example in solids, the inter-atomic force is stronger and hence, the distance between any atoms is very very small which restricts the movement of the particles. On the other hand, in case of liquids and gases, the inter-atomic forces are not very strong and there is more distance between the atoms which allows free movement of particles.

while you are waiting to begin a foot race , you can feel your heart rate go up . This is the _ at work.
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Sympathetic nervous system.

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for the “fight or flight” response during any potential danger. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) increases heart rate. A faster heart rate (usually) pumps more oxygen-rich blood to the brain and lungs. This can give you the energy to run.

While you are waiting to begin a foot race, you can feel your heart race go up. This is the sympathetic nervous system at work.
