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.

Explanation:

Take south to be negative.

a. Momentum is mass times velocity.

p = mv

p = (540 kg) (-6 m/s)

p = -3240 kg m/s

p = 3240 kg m/s south

b. Impulse = change in momentum

J = Δp

Since the mass is constant:

J = mΔv

J = (540 kg) (-4 m/s − (-6 m/s))

J = 1080 kg m/s

J = 1080 kg m/s north

The main advantage banking services offer is?
KATRIN_1 [288]
In short, and in general:

Advantages

<span>Credit Unions typically pay higher dividend rates on savingsCredit Unions typically offer lower rates on loansCredit Unions typically provide better service; since they are owned and governed by their membership, they tend to prioritize the needs of their members above all elseCredit Unions operate on a not-for-profit business model, so excess earnings are returned back to the membership in form of competitive rates and lower fees, and sometimes even special dividendsMany Credit Unions offer the same products and services found at banksCredit Unions often have added-value benefits, such as free financial education, discounted theme park tickets, and special member rates for services such as home alarm systems...even discounts at online retailers like Barnes & Noble.</span>Disadvantages

<span>Credit Unions, and in particular smaller local credit unions, struggle to match the level of convenience (ATMs and branches) that many banks provide their customers, although many CUs are part of shared networks which enhance the breadth of delivery channels available to their membersSome Credit Unions are limited in their product offeringsOne must qualify for membership <span>One must pay a membership fee to join. hope this helps!
