== You're pushing the load <u><em>straight</em></u> along the horizontal surface at a <u><em>constant speed</em></u>.

== The speed and direction of the load are not changing, so there is <u><em>no acceleration.</em></u>

== From Newton's 2nd law of motion, we know that  F = m A .  Since A=0, F must also be zero.  That means <em>NO NET FORCE</em> is acting on the load.

== But how can that be ? You're pushing it with 90 N !

== The NET force is zero.  So something else must be pushing the box, also with <em>90 N of force, exactly opposite to YOUR force, </em>and they add up to zero.

== THERE's your force of friction !

Answer:

A) An organism with favorable genetic variation will tend to survive and breed successfully.

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, organisms that don't have the best genetic variation will die off, leaving the more genetic favored ones to survive and become better as a whole.

A 75.0 kg object decelerates from a speed of 100 m/s to 50 m/s over an interval of 25 seconds. What was the net force acting upo
lukranit [14]

Assuming constant acceleration <em>a</em>, the object has undergoes an acceleration of

<em>a</em> = (50 m/s - 100 m/s) / (25 s) = -2 m/s²

Then the net force has a magnitude <em>F</em> such that, by Newton's second law,

<em>F</em> = (75.0 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>F</em> = (75.0 kg) (-2 m/s²)

<em>F</em> = -150 N

meaning the object is acted upon by a net force of 150 N in the direction opposite the initial direction in which the object is moving.

An engine extracts 441.3kJ of heat from the burning of fuel each cycle, but rejects 259.8 kJ of heat (exhaust, friction,etc) dur
Lilit [14]

Answer:

  • The thermal efficiency is 0.4113.

Explanation:

We know that the thermal efficiency is the ratio of work done by the engine over the heat taken

\eta = \frac{W_{made}}{Q_{in}}

Now, how much work the engine do in a cycle?

We know that the work done in a cycle must be equal to the heat taken minus the heat rejected

W{made} = Q_{in} - Q_{rejected}

So, the thermal efficiency will be:

\eta = \frac{Q_{in} - Q_{rejected}}{Q_{in}}

\eta = \frac{Q_{in}}{Q_{in}} - \frac{Q_{rejected}}{Q_{in}}

\eta = 1 - \frac{Q_{rejected}}{Q_{in}}

Putting the values of the problem

\eta = 1 - \frac{259.8 kJ }{441.3kJ}

\eta = 0.4113
