A boy drags a suitcase along the ground with a force of 100 N. If the frictional force opposing the motion of the suitcase is 50

N, what is the resultant forward force on the suitcase?

Fortunately, 'force' is a vector.  So if you know the strength and direction
of each force, you can easily addum up and find the 'resultant' (net) force.

When we talk in vectors, one newton forward is the negative of
one newton backward.   Hold that thought, while I slog through
the complete solution of the problem.


            (100 N forward) plus (50 N backward)

        =  (100 N forward) minus (50 N forward)

        =           50 N forward .

That's it.
Is there any part of the solution that's not clear ?

An ice skater spins at 2.5 rev/s when his arms are extended. He draws his arms in and spins at 10.0 rev/s. By what factor does h
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity of the ice skater, ω₁ = 2.5 rev/s

final angular velocity of the  ice skater, ω₂ = 10.0 rev/s

During this process we assume that angular momentum is conserved;

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Where;

I₁ is the initial moment of inertia

I₂ is the final moment of inertia

I_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1}{\omega_2} = \frac{I_1*2.5}{10} \\\\I_2 = 0.25I_1 = \frac{1}{4}I_1

Therefore, the moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

Find the solution set of x + y = 5, 2 x - y = 7
STALIN [3.7K]
X + y = 5
x = 5 - y

2x - y = 7
2(5-y) - y = 7
10 - 2y - y = 7
10 - 3y = 7
10 - 7 = 3y
3 = 3y
y = 1

x + y = 5
x + 1 = 5
x = 5 - 1
x = 4

Explanation:

(6.9*10-6)(770*102)

<u>Multiply  6.9  by  10 . </u>

( 69 − 6 ) ( 770 ⋅ 102 )

<u>Subtract  6  from  69 . </u>

63 ( 770 ⋅ 102 )

<u>Multiply  770  by 102 . </u>

63 ⋅ 78540

<u>Multiply  63  by  78540 . </u>

Betty weighs 420 n and she is sitting on a playground swing seat that hangs 0.40 m above the ground. tom pulls the swing back an
Svet_ta [14]
Weight = mass * gravity
420 = mass * 9.8
mass of Betty = 42.857 kg

Difference in height = 1 - 0.45 = 0.55 meters

Total energy = Kinetic energy + potential energy

At the highest point, the kinetic energy is zero while the potential energy is maximum, therefore, we can get the total energy as follows:
Total energy = 0 + mgh
Total energy = 42.857*9.8*0.55 = 231 Joules

At the lowest point, the potential energy is zero while the kinetic energy is maximum. Therefore:
Total energy = 0.5 * m * (v)^2 + 0
231 = 0.5 * (42.857) * (velocity)^2
(velocity)^2 = 10.78
velocity = 3.28 meters/sec
