Bob is pushing a box across the floor at a constant speed of 1.7 m/s, applying a horizontal force whose magnitude is 70 N. Alice

is pushing an identical box across the floor at a constant speed of 3.4 m/s, applying a horizontal force. a. What is the magnitude of the force that Alice is applying to the box? F = N b. With the two boxes starting from rest, explain qualitatively what Alice and Bob did to get their boxes moving at different constant speeds. a. In order to keep the box moving twice as fast, Alice had to apply a constant force that was twice as large as the force that Bob applied.b. Each initially applied a force bigger than static friction to get the box moving and accelerating, then when the desired final speed was achieved they reduced the force to make the net force zero.

Answer:

a) 70 N, b) b. Each initially applied a force bigger than static friction to get the box moving and accelerating, then when the desired final speed was achieved they reduced the force to make the net force zero.

Explanation:

a) A constant speed means that magnitude of friction force is equal to the magnitude of the external force. The friction force is directly proportional to the normal force, which is equal to the weight of the box. Therefore, the magnitude of the force is 70 N.

b) Alice used initially a greater force to accelerate the box up to needed speed and later reduced the external force to keep speed constant. The right choice is option b.

Which of the following would be most likely to contribute to molecules
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

B. Containing charged regions

Explanation:

The term i.e. intermolecular forces would be used to explain the attraction forces. Here the interaction would be done between molecules etc that acts between the acts & the other types of particles i.e. neighboring like atoms or ions

So in the given case, the option b would be contributed to the molecules that have intermolecular forces

hence, the option b is correct

A crate filled with delicious junk food rests on a horizontal floor. Only gravity and the support force of the floor act on it,
stealth61 [152]

The words "... as shown ..." tell us that there's a picture that goes along
with this question, and you decided not to share it.  That's sad and
disappointing, but I think the question can be answered without seeing
the picture.

The net force on the crate is zero.  Evidence for this is that fact that
the crate is just sitting there.  If the net force on an object is not zero,
then the object is accelerating ... it's either speeding up, slowing down,
or its the direction of its motion is changing.  If none of these things is
happening, then the net force on the object must be zero.

What makes up a atom
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

They're typically made up of three main parts: protons, neutrons and electrons. Think of the protons and neutrons as together forming a “sun”, or nucleus, at the centre of the system. The electrons orbit this nucleus, like planets. If atoms are impossibly small, these subatomic particles are even more so.

The nose of an ultralight plane is pointed south, and its airspeed indicator shows 28 m/s . the plane is in a 18 m/s wind blowin
leva [86]
<span>Here I think you have to find the velocity in x and y components where x is east and y is north
 So as air speed indicator shows the negative speed in y component and adding it in
  air speed while multiplying with the direction component we will get the velocity as velocity is a vector quantity so direction is also required
 v=-28 m/s y + 18 m/s (- x/sqrt(2) - y/sqrt(2))
 solving
  v= -12.7 m/s x-40.7 m/s y
 if magnitude of velocity or speed is required then
  speed= sqrt(12.7^2 + 40.7^2)
 speed= 42.63 m/s
 if angle is asked
  angle = arctan (40.7/12.7)
 angle = 72.67 degrees south of west</span>
