Answer: a = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c where c is the coefficient of kinetic friction of the surface

Explanation: We know that, by the second Newton's law, a = F/m

where a is the acceleration, F is the net force and m is the mass of the object.

Then, if the surface is frictionless, the total force applied in the object is 10N, and the mass of the object is 25kg, so the acceleration is:

a =10N/25kg = 0.4m/s^2.

But if the surface is frictional, there will be a force of friction applied in the mass (this depends on the coefficient of friction and the weight of the mass), this means that the acceleration will be reduced.

If = -(9.8*25)*c

where c is a number that is bigger than 0 and smaller than 1, is called the coefficient of kinetic friction.

So the total force is now:

F = (10 - 9.8*25*c)

Then, the acceleration in a frictional surface is equal to:

a = (10 - 9.8*25*c)/25 = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c

Force (in Newtons) equals mass (in kilograms) times acceleration (in meters per second squared).

Plug in the given force and mass to the equation and solve for acceleration:

10=25a

0.4m/s2=a

Hope this helps!!

HEEEEELP!!!!!! :((( help me with this exercise.

Answer:

See the graph attached with the vectors.

Explanation:

The exercise is to draw the corresponding vectors:

$2\vec a\\\\3\vec c\\\\3\vec d\\\\3\vec f\\\\2\vec b$

Every one is the multiplication of a scalar by a vector.

The result of multiplying a scalar by a vector is a vector with the same direction of the original vector enlarged in a factor equal to the scalar magntitude.

Thus, in a graph the resulting vector is represented with a parallel arrow and pointing in the same direction as the original vector but with a length equal to the original length multiplied by the magnitude of the scalar.

For instance, the vector $2\vec a$ is represented with an arrow in the same direction of $\vec a$ and with twice its length.

The figure attached contains the five requested vectors using the procedure explained above.

A golf ball with an initial angle of 34° lands exactly 240 m down the range on a level course.

g100num [7]

Answer:50.39 m/s,

40.46 m

Explanation:

Given

launch angle $=34^{\circ}$

Range=240 m

We know that Range $=\frac{u^2sin2\theta }{g}$

$240=\frac{u^2sin(68)}{9.81}$

u=50.39 m/s

(b)maximum height of projectile is given by

$H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta }{2g}$

$H=\frac{50.39^2(sin34)^2}{2\times 9.81}$

H=40.46 m
