Answer:

Apply Newton's second law in the moving direction.

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}F &= ma\\5N-2N &= 25kg\times a\\a & = \frac{3N}{25kg}\\&= 0.12ms^{-2}\end{aligned}

Friction force applies in the opposite direction of motion; as a restriction.

You drive 6.00 km at 50.0 km/h and then another 6.00kmat 900 km/h Your average speed over
Cerrena [4.2K]

Explanation:

average speed = total distance travelled / total time travelled

time to travel the first 6km: 6 / 50 = 3/25 (h)

time to travel the next 6km: 6 / 90 = 1/15 (h)

[I think there's problem in the question 'cause 900km/h sounds impossible for normal person to travel in normal condition]

The total time: 3/25 + 1/15 = 14/75 (h)

Average speed over the 12 km drive will be:

\frac{12}{ \frac{14}{75} }  =  \frac{450}{7}  = 64.3 \: km{h}^{ - 1}

An electrician finds that a 1 m length of a certain type of wire has a resistance of 0.24 Ω . What is the total resistance of th
zlopas [31]

The resistance of a given conductor depends on its electrical resistivity (\rho), its length(L) and its cross-sectional area (A), as follows:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

In this case, we have L'=138L, \rho'=\rho and A'=A. So, the total resistance of the wire with length of 138m is:

R'=\frac{\rho' L'}{A'}\\R'=\frac{\rho 138L}{A}\\R'=138\frac{\rho L}{A}\\R'=138R\\R'=138(0.24\Omega)\\R'=33.12\Omega

A wrestler weighs in for the first match on the moon. will the athlete weigh more or less on the moon than he does on Earth?

The moon<span> is 1/4 the size of </span>Earth<span>, so the </span>moon's<span> gravity is much less than the </span>earth's gravity, 83.3% (or 5/6) less to be exact. Finally, "weight<span>" is a measure of the gravitational pull between two objects. So of course you would </span>weigh<span> much less on the </span>moon<span>.</span>

what distance is a book from the floor if the book contains 196 joules f potential energy and has a mass of 5 kg?
AleksAgata [21]
E=mgh.   196=5kg*9.81m/s^2*h.  So h=196/(5*9.81)=4m
