<span>The Appalachian Mountains were formed when colliding tectonic plates folded and upthrust, mainly during the Permian Period and again in the Cretaceous Period. The folds and thrusts were then eroded and carved by wind, streams and glaciers. These erosive processes are ongoing, and the topography of the Appalachian Mountains continue to change. They have changed with the miles of land that are cleared of all vegetation and topsoil. In the 1970's coal miners literally blow away the top of a mountain to get to the coal underneath.</span>
Answer:
a) 12.8212 N
b) 12.642 N
Explanation:
Mass of bucket = m = 0.54 kg
Rate of filling with sand = 56.0 g/ sec = 0.056 kg/s
Speed of sand = 3.2 m/s
g= 9.8 m/sec2
<u>Condition (a);</u>
Mass of sand = Ms = 0.75 kg
So total mass becomes = bucket mass + sand mass = 0.54 +0.75=1.29 kg
== > total weight = 1.29 × 9.8 = 12.642 N
Now impact of sand = rate of filling × velocity = 0.056 × 3.2 = 0.1792 kg. m /sec2=0.1792 N
Scale reading is sum of impact of sand and weight force ;
i-e
scale reading = 12.642 N+0.1792 N = 12.8212 N
<u>Codition (b);</u>
bucket mass + sand mass = 0.54 +0.75=1.29 kg
==>weight = mg = 1.29 × 9.8 = 12.642 N (readily calculated above as well)
The net force acting on the car is 65 N to the left
The net force acting on an object is simply defined as the resultant force acting on the object.
From the question given, we obtained the following data:
- Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 250 N
- Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 315 N
- Net force (Fₙ) =?
The net force acting on the car can be obtained as follow:
Fₙ = Fₗ – Fᵣ
Fₙ = 315 – 250
<h3>Fₙ = 65 N to the left </h3>
Therefore, the net force acting on the car is 65 N to the left

The characteristics of the velocity vector used to find the results for the direction of acceleration and velocity are:
- Acceleration is towards the center of the circle
- The velocity is tangent to the circle counterclockwise.
Newton's Second Law establishes a relationship between force, mass and acceleration of bodies.
<h3>Centripetal acceleration.
</h3>
In the case of circular motion there is a constant change in the direction of the velocity vector, even when its module remains constant, this change in direction points towards the center of the circle, so that the module is constant.
They indicate that the satellite is moving counterclockwise, therefore the speed must go to the left (counterclockwise) tangential to the circle.
In conclusion using the characteristics of the velocity vector we can find the results for the direction of acceleration and velocity are:
- Acceleration is towards the center of the circle
- The velocity is tangent to the circle counterclockwise.
