Three identical 6.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up

from left to right and a force is applied to the left side of the left cube causing all three cubes to accelerate to the right at 2.0 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the middle cube by the left cube in this case

Answer:

24 Newtons

Explanation:

The force exerted in the middle cube needs to be enough to move the middle cube and the right cube with an acceleration of 2 m/s2.

The mass of those two cubes combined is 6 + 6 = 12 kg

So, using the following equation, we can find the force:

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 12 * 2

Force = 24 Newtons

An object of mass m travels along the parabola yequalsx squared with a constant speed of 5 ​units/sec. What is the force on the
Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

The object is moving along the parabola y = x² and is at the point (√2, 2).  Because the object is changing directions, it has a centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle of curvature.

First, we need to find the radius of curvature.  This is given by the equation:

R = [1 + (y')²]^(³/₂) / |y"|

y' = 2x and y" = 2:

R = [1 + (2x)²]^(³/₂) / |2|

R = (1 + 4x²)^(³/₂) / 2

At x = √2:

R = (1 + 4(√2)²)^(³/₂) / 2

R = (9)^(³/₂) / 2

R = 27 / 2

R = 13.5

So the centripetal force is:

F = m v² / r

F = m (5)² / 13.5

F = 1.85 m

Why do you like the full moon ?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

<h3>The Moon brings perspective. Observing the Moon, and I mean really looking – sitting comfortably, or lying down on a patch of grass and letting her light fill your eyes, it's easy to be reminded of how ancient and everlasting the celestial bodies are. When I do this, it always puts my life into perspective.</h3>
