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

The length of a football field is closest to<br> (1) 1000 cm (3) 1000 km<br> (2) 1000 dm (4) 1000 mm
Sergeu [11.5K]

For this case, the first thing you should know is that the length of a football field is around 100 meters.

We must then look for a measure close to this value.

We have the following unit conversion:

1 meter = 10 decimeters

Applying the conversion we have:

(1000 dm)*(\frac{1}{10} \frac{m}{dm}) = 100 m

Therefore, the measure closest to a soccer field is:

1000 dm

Answer:

The length of a football field is closest to:

(2) 1000 dm

A block pushed along the floor with velocity V0 slides a distance d after the pushing force is removed. a) if the mass of the bl
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

a) \ d_2=d_1\\b) \ d_2=4d_1

Explanation:

Assume that the distance travelled initially is d.

In order to stop the block you need some external force which is friction.

If we use the law of energy conservation:

E_i=E_f\\\frac{mv^2}{2}= E_{Friction}\\E_{Friction}=F_{Friction}*d\\F_{Friction}= \mu_kmg\\\frac{mv^2}{2}= \mu_kmgd\\ d=\frac{v^2}{2\mu_kg}

a)

Looking at the formula you can see that the mass doesn't affect the distance travelled, as lng as the initial velocity is constant (Which indicates that the force must be higher to push the block to the same speed) therefore the distance is the same.

b) If the velocity is doubled, then the distance travelled is multiplied by 4, because the distance deppends on the square of the velocity.

Answer:

It's probably the Redshift and Blueshift

Explanation:

The light shifting towards shorter or longer wavelengths as objects in space (stars or galaxies) move closer or farther away from us. This phenomenon is known as the Redshifts and Blueshifts. The concept indicates us that the Universe is expanding.

Hope this helps you!

A body travels 10 meters during the first 5 seconds of its travel, and it travels a total of 30 meters over the first 10 seconds
igomit [66]
The total distance traveled by the body is the sum of the distance it traveled for the first five seconds which is 10 m and that of the next five seconds which is 30 meters. Thus, the total distance traveled is 40 m. Dividing this by the time, will give the average speed. The average speed is therefore, 4 m/s. The answer is letter C.
