A boy who exerts a 300-N force on the ice of a skating rink is pulled by his friend with a force of 75 N, causing the boy to acc

elerate across the ice. If drag and the friction from the ice apply a force of 5 N on the boy, what is the magnitude of the net force acting on him?

Answer:

70 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the boy.  There are four forces:

Weight force mg pulling down,

A 300 N normal force pushing up,

A 75 N applied force pulling right,

and a 5 N friction force pushing left.

The boy's acceleration in the y direction is 0, so the net force in the y direction is 0.

The net force in the x direction is 75 N − 5 N = 70 N.

An 50kg car travels at 2m/s. What is the car's Kinetic energy? <br> 100J<br> 200J<br> 50J
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The answer is 100J.

Explanation:

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. In this question, the mass is equals to 50kg and the velocity is 2m/s

Now,

25kg×4m/s^2 = 100kgm/s^2 or 100J

5p - 14 = 8 p + 4 find p
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Explanation:

5p - 14 = 8p + 4

5p = 8p + 18 <-- Moving constants to one side; add the same number of +14 to both sides.

-3p = 18. <-- The same thing with the variable itself.

p = -6 <-- Divide both sides by negative 3.

Can someone explain how exactly to calculate the net force? Do you subtract the smaller number from the larger number? Any help
aleksley [76]

Explanation:

Let's say right is positive and left is negative.

F₁ = -150 N

F₂ = 220 N

Fnet = F₁ + F₂

Fnet = -150 N + 220 N

Fnet = 70 N

The magnitude of Fnet is 70 N, and since it's positive, the direction is to the right.

And since Fnet isn't 0, the force is unbalanced and the motion is changing.
