A person gives a shopping cart an initial push along a horizontal floor to get it moving, and then lets go. The cart travels for

ward along the floor, gradually slowing as it moves. Consider the horizontal force(s) on the cart while it is moving forward and slowing. Which of the following statements is correct?
Question 36 options:

Both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the forward force is larger.

Only a forward force is acting which diminishes with time.

Both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the backward force is larger.

Only a backward force is acting, no forward force.

Answer:

Only a backward force is acting, no forward force.

Explanation:

  • Once released from the initial push, in absence of friction, the shopping cart would continue moving forward at a constant speed forever.
  • As it would move at a constant speed, no net force would be acting on it.
  • So, if it is gradually slowing, there must  be a net force producing an acceleration in a direction opposite to the movement.
  • This force is the kinetic friction force, and is the only force acting on the cart in the horizontal direction.
  • As any friction force, opposes to the relative movement between the cart and the horizontal floor, which means that is directed backward.
  • This is consistent with the direction of the acceleration of the cart.

Radio waves travel 300,000,000 m/s. The frequency is 101,700,000. ehats the wavelength​
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

we have formula of frequency :

frequency(f)= speed of sound(c)/wavelength(λ)

for wavelength we swipe it with frequency as follows

λ=c/f

λ=300,000,000/101,700,000

λ=2.949

A concave mirror has a focal length of 30.0 CM. an object is placed 15.0 CM from the mirror. what is the radius of curvature of
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

60 cm

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Focal length of a concave mirror as  30.0 cm
  • Object distance is 15.0 cm

We are required to determine the radius of curvature.

We need to know that the radius of a curvature is the radius of a circle from which the curved mirror is part.

We also need to know that the radius of curvature is twice the focal length of a curved mirror.

Therefore;

Radius of curvature = 2 × Focal length

Therefore;

Radius of curvature = 2 × 30 cm

                                 = 60 cm
