Answer:

a = F-ff/m

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion which states that "the rate of change in momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force F and acts in the direction of the force.

Mathematically;

F = ma

Since two forces acts on the cart i.e the moving force F and the frictional force Ff , we will take the sum of the forces.

∑F = ma where

m is the mass of the cart

a is its acceleration

∑F = F+(-ff )(since frictional force is an opposing force)

F - ff = ma

Dividing both sides by mass m

a = F-ff/m

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The ocean is 6485.6m deep when measured from the vessel

Explanation:

v=1474m/s

t=8.88s

let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.

an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.

velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\ v=\frac{2d}{t} \\vt=2d\\d=\frac{vt}{2}

d=\frac{1474*8.8}{2}

d= 6485.6m

Answer:

.409 N

Explanation:

For this to balance, the moments around the fulcrum must sum to zero.

On the left you have   .21   ( is that down? I will assume it is)

      Counterclockwise moments :

        .21 * 40     +  1.0 * 20    

     Clockwise moments :

        .5 * 20     +     F * 45

these moments must equal each other

.21*40 + 1 *20   =  .5 * 20 + F * 45

   F = .409 N
