Answer: positive

Explanation: according to newton's second law of motion, the applied force (pull) will produce a motion for the box defined by the formulae

f = ma, where m is the mass of the box and a is the acceleration.

But due to friction, a force of the same magnitude but opposite in direction to the push is applied, hence we have that

f - fr = ma

Where fr is the frictional force.

As we can see from the formulae, f (push) is responsible for a positive work while fr (friction) will bring about a negative work done.

A 6.0 m section of wire carries a current of 5.2 A from east to west in the earth's magnetic field of 1.0 × 105 T at a location

NNADVOKAT [17]

Well, since you only want direction, ignore the numbers. Use the right hand rule.
Current (pointer finger) points west (left).
Magnetic field (middle finger) points south (towards you).
Force (thumb) then points up (away from the earth)

The spring in the muzzle of a child's spring gun has a spring constant of 730 N/m. To shoot a ball from the gun, first the sprin

Korolek [52]

Answer:

a. V=11.84 m/s

b.x=0.052m

Explanation:

a).

Given

$K=730 N/m$ , $m=0.053kg$ , $h=1.90m$ .

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2*g*h$

$v_i^2=2*g*h=2*9.8m/s^2*1.9m$

$v_i=\sqrt{2*9.8m/s^2*1.9m}=\sqrt{37.24 m^2/s^2}$

$v_i=6.1 m/s$

$v_i=V*sin(31)$

$V=\frac{v_i}{sin(31)}=\frac{6.1m/s}{sin(31)}$

$V=11.84 m/s$

b).

$K_k=\frac{1}{2}*K*x^2$

No friction on the ball so:

$x^2=\frac{2*K_k}{K}$

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2*0.053kg*9.8m/s^2*1.9m}{730N/m}}$

$x=\sqrt{2.7x10^{-3}m^2}=0.052m$

Mary starts from her house, walks 80 meters south, and stops to chat with her aunt on the sidewalk. After chatting for a few min

marin [14]

Mary walks:
d 1 = 80 m, d 2 = 125 m, d 3 = 45 m
t = 10 minutes = 600 seconds;
Average speed:
v = ( d 1 + d 2 + d 3 ) / t
v = ( 80 m + 125 m + 45 m ) / 600 s
v = 250 m / 600 s
v = 0.4167 m/s ≈ 0.42 m/s
Answer:
E ) 0.42 meters/second
