Answer:

The second engine with no cars will accelerate more.

Explanation:

Since the engines are identical so they hacve the same mass. The first engine has 10 cars attached which adds more mass to it whereas second engine has no cars attached.

Therefore second engine is lighter in mass than the first one.

<u>We know from the Newton's second law of motion:</u>

F=m.a

\therefore a=\frac{F}{m}

Now, according to question both the engines exert same force for moving.

We see that :

a\propto\frac{1}{m}

So more is the mass, lesser is the acceleration, hence the second engine with no cars will accelerate more.

Which force diagram accurately represents a satellite in orbit around Earth?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

First choice

Explanation:

A satellite in orbit around Earth experiences only one force: the gravitational attraction exerted by the Earth on it. This force is labelled with F_g. In space, there are no other forces acting on the satellite.

The force of gravity acts as centripetal force, "pulling" the satellite towards the centre of its circular orbit. The inertia of the satellite (which has an initial velocity) tends to keep it moving straight, so the combination of these two effects (inertia and force of gravity) results into the circular motion of the satellite.

Yeast breaking down starch into usable energy ____________ law of thermodynamics.
Anon25 [30]
<span>First law of thermodynamics. This conservation law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to another. In essence, energy is always conserved but can be converted from one form into another. Like when an engine burns fuel, it converts the energy stored in the fuel's chemical bonds into useful mechanical energy and then into heat, or more specifically, the melting ice cubes. Yeast breaks down maltose into glucose to produce alcohol and Co2 in the fermentation process. This is a prime example of the 1st law of thermodynamics. No form of usable energy is really lost; it only changes from one form to another</span>

A force of 400-N pushes on a 25-kg box horizontally. The box accelerates at 9 m/s? Find the coefficient of kinetic friction betw
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

<h3>0.69</h3>

Explanation:

Using the Newtons law of motion;

\sum Fx = ma_x\\Fm - Ff = ma_x

Fm is the moving force = 400N

Ff is the frictional force = μR

μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

R is the reaction = mg

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

The equation becomes;

Fm - \mu R = ma_x\\Fm - \mu mg = ma_x\\400- \mu (25)(9.8) = 25(9)\\400 - 254.8 \mu = 225\\- 254.8 \mu = 225 - 400\\- 254.8 \mu = -175\\ \mu = \frac{-175}{- 254.8} \\\mu = 0.69

Hence the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and floor is 0.69
