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

umka2103 [35]

initial velocity=u=0m/s
Final velocity=v=4m/s
Time=t=2.5s

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{4-0}{2.5}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{4}{2.5}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=1.6m/s^2$

The static frictional force between a 95-kilogram object and the floor is 45 Newtons. The kinetic frictional force is only 22 Ne

Lisa [10]

Answer:

F = 69.5 [N]

Explanation:

We must remember that the friction force is defined as the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction, and it can be calculated by the following expression.

$f=N*miu$

where:

N = normal force [N]

miu = friction coefficient

f = friction force = 22 [N]

Now we must calculate the force exerted by means of Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

$F - f = m*a$

where:

F = force exerted [N]

f = friction force [N]

m = mass = 95 [kg]

a = acceleration = 0.5 [m/s²]

Now replacing:

$F - 22 = 95*0.5\\F = 47.5 + 22\\F = 69.5 [N]$

Most paper does not reflect light very well because its surface is somewhat rough.<br><br> T or F

Sloan [31]

I think the correct answer is true. Most paper does not reflect light very well because its surface is somewhat rough. Light only reflects to surfaces which has a smooth texture or have a uniform texture on the surface. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s^2.

So to calculate the time it will take to make the ball stop(which btw means the ball now reach its greatest height), use the formula V1=V0+at. V1 is the final velocity(which is 0), V0 is the starting velocity(which is 30m/s), and the a(cceleration) is 9.8m/s^2.

(You can ignore the fact "at" is -30 instead 30, it's because the directions two velocity travel are opposite. )

We can now know the time it takes to make the ball stop just by the gravitational force is about 3 sec.

Use another formula S=1/2at^2, to find out the S(height) is 1/2*9.8*3^2=44.1, which is approximately D.45m .
