Answer : The acceleration is, 3 m/s²

Explanation :

As, a 20 N force pulls to the right and friction pulls 5 N which is less.

Friction force is the force that applied to the opposite direction of the motion of an object.

That means, these two forces are applied in opposite direction.

So, net force will be, 20 N - 5 N = 15 N

Now we have to calculate the acceleration.

Formula used :

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

15 N = 5 kg × Acceleration

Acceleration = 3 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration is, 3 m/s²

So obviously the 20N pulls more than the 5N. Friction opposes direction of motion, so the 5N opposes the 20N and the two forces are against each other.

Net force would be in the direction of the 20N force: 20N - 5N = 15N.

Force = mass*acceleration
15 = (5)*acceleration
acceleration = 3m/s^2

In our lab experiment on Ohm's law, the power supply is connected to a circuit containing one resistor, and a direct current of

lapo4ka [179]

Answer: (A) 3.0=A

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the OHM law, given by: V=R*I

Besides, we have to consider the resitance equivalent for a parallel connection. This is given by:

1/Re=1/R1+1/R2

If we connect the same resistance, the equivalent resistance is R/2.

Initlally the current is 1.5 A when one resistance is connected to the batttery. When a second resistance with the same value is connected in parallel to the battery, we have V=Re*Ifinal= (R/2)*Ifinal

also we know that V=R*Iinitial so Iinitial=V/R

then Ifinal= 2*V/R=2*Iinitial

A periodic wave travels from one medium to another. which pair of variables are likely to change in the process?

Sav [38]

velocity and wavelength are likely to change in the process

When a wave travels from one medium to another it undergoes a change in direction and this is referred to as refraction.

Refraction is the bending of a wave or a change in direction of a wave as it travels from one medium to another. Refraction is accompanied by change in velocity and wavelength of a wave

ASAP describe how energy is transferred in a mechanical wave

kirill115 [55]

A mechanical wave requires an initial energy input. Once this initial energy is added, the wave travels through the medium until all its energy is transferred. In contrast, electromagnetic waves require no medium, but can still travel through one

Consider a particle moving along the x-axis where x(t) is the position of the particle at time t, x'(t) is its velocity, and x''

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

We know that the acceleration of the particle is defined as

$a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}$

Since it is given that

$v(t)=\frac{5}{\sqrt{t}}\\\\\therefore a(t)=\frac{d(\frac{5}{\sqrt{t}})}{dt}\\\\a(t)=5\times \frac{dt^{-\frac{1}{2}}}{dt}\\\\=\frac{-5}{2}t^{\frac{-1}{2}-1}\\\\\therefore a(t)=x''(t)=\frac{-2.5}{t^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

Now by definition of velocity we have

$v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}\\\\\Rightarrow dx(t)=v(t)dt$

Integrating on both sides we get

$v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}\\\\\int dx(t)=\int v(t)dt\\\\x(t)=\int v(t)dt$

Applying values we get

$v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}\\\\\int dx(t)=\int v(t)dt\\\\x(t)=\int \frac{5}{t^{\frac{1}{2}}}dt\\\\\therefore x(t)=\frac{5}{0.5}\int t^{-0.5}dt\\\\x(t)=10\sqrt{t}+c$

To find the constant we note that at t=1 the particle is at x=12 Thus applying values in the above equation we get

$c=12-10\\\therefore c=2\\\\x(t)=10\sqrt{t}+2$

Jennifer's cat is stuck in a

Lelu [443]

The speed with which Jennifer climb up the tree is 0.45 m/s

The distance is 10m

Time is 22 seconds

Required speed is 10/22=0.45 m/s

Distance is the total length travelled by an object.
Speed is distance upon time.

It is a scalar quantity and doesn't has magnitude and direction.

Distance traveled is the total length of the path traveled between two positions
Distance is the total movement of an object without any regard to direction.
