Answer: Acted on by equal forces in opposite direction
Explanation:
Newton's First Law says that every body continue in its state of rest or constant speed on a straight line unless being acted upon by an external force.
Answer:
The maximum height the box will reach is 1.72 m
Explanation:
F = k·x
Where
F = Force of the spring
k = The spring constant = 300 N/m
x = Spring compression or stretch = 0.15 m
Therefore the force, F of the spring = 300 N/m×0.15 m = 45 N
Mass of box = 0.2 kg
Work, W, done by the spring =
and the kinetic energy gained by the box is given by KE = 
Since work done by the spring = kinetic energy gained by the box we have
=
therefore we have v =
=
=
= 5.81 m/s
Therefore the maximum height is given by
v² = 2·g·h or h =
=
= 1.72 m
Answer:
<em>11.06m/s²</em>
Explanation:
According to Newtons second law of motion

Given
Mass m = 17kg
Fm = 208N
theta = 36 degrees
g = 9.8m/s²
a is the acceleration
Substitute
208 - 0.148(17)(9.8)cos 36 = 17a
208 - 24.6568cos36 = 17a
208 - 19.9478 = 17a
188.05 = 17a
a = 188.05/17
a = 11.06m/s²
<em>Hence the the magnitude of the resulting acceleration is 11.06m/s²</em>
Answer:

Explanation:
When the car is under an accelerating force and hits a tree, the instant force received by the tree is the same force that is accelerating the car.
The accelerating force can be calculated using Newton's second law:

Where m is the mass of the car and a is the acceleration.
