<span>They are killed mostly by heart attacks. Alternating electrical current interferes with the electrical pulses of the heart produced by the Sino-atrial node hence cause the heart to beat erratically and hence a heart attack and death to result. 7 milliamps to your heart for 3 seconds can cause it to be arrhythmic. </span>

Suppose that a block of mass 2 kg is pulled to the right with a force of 10 N, and the friction force on the block is directed t
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The block has an acceleration of 3 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

By means of Newton's second law it can be determine the acceleration of the block.

\sum F_{r} = ma   (1)

Where \sum F_{r} represents the net force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

F_{x} + F{y} = ma  (2)

The forces present in x are F = 10 N and f = 4 N (the friction force):

F_{x} = 10 N - 4 N

Notice that f subtracts to F since it is at the opposite direction.

F_{x} = 6 N

The forces present in y balance each other:

F_{y} = 0

Therefore:

6 + 0 = ma  

6 N = (2kg)a  (3)

But 1 N = 1 Kg.m/s^{2} and writing (3) in terms of a it is get:

a = \frac{6 Kg.m/s^{2}}{2 Kg}  

a = 3 m/s^{2}

So the block has an acceleration of a = 3 m/s^{2}.

the velocity of an object is given v(t), and the acceleration is given by a(t). what is the relationship between the total
zmey [24]

The rate at which velocity changes is called acceleration. (Attensity exists when velocity varies.) If a moving object changes speed.

Why does time accelerate the rate at which velocity changes?

A motion's acceleration is the rate at which it changes from one velocity to another. A velocity's rate of change with respect to time is referred to as its acceleration. The amount and direction of acceleration are both properties of a vector quantity.

A change in velocity is known as what?

A velocity change's acceleration is measured. Acceleration is the measure of how quickly a velocity changes with time. The acceleration measure used in SI is M/s2.
