Answer:

Net force acting on the box is 75 N.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the box, m = 50 kg

Acceleration of the box, $a=1.5\ m/s^2$

Let F is the net force acting on the box. It can be calculated using the Newton's second law of motion. According to this law the force acting on an object is equal to the product of mass and acceleration with which it is moving. Mathematically, it is given by :

$F=m\times a$

$F=50\ kg\times 1.5\ m/s^2$

F = 75 N

So, the net force acting on the box is 75 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

We now that follow newton rules f=ma so net force equal to mass*acceleration=>f=50*1.5=75 N

What is the magnitude of electrical force of attraction between an copper nucleus (29 protons) and its innermost electron if the

Agata [3.3K]

The charge of the copper nucleus is 29 times the charge of one proton:
$Q=29 q= 29 \cdot 1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C=4.64 \cdot 10^{-18}C$
the charge of the electron is
$e=-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C$
and their separation is
$r=1.0 \cdot 10^{-12} m$

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is given by:
$F=k_e \frac{Qe}{r^2}$
where $k_e$ is the Coulomb's constant. If we substitute the numbers, we find (we can ignore the negative sign of the electron charge, since we are interested only in the magnitude of the force)
$F=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}) \frac{(4.64 \cdot 10^{-18}C)(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)}{(1.0 \cdot 10^{-12} m)^2}=6.68 \cdot 10^{-3} N$

a spaceship, at rest in a certain reference frame s, is given a speed increment of 0.500c. it is then given a further 0.500c inc

bezimeni [28]

In order to give a spaceship at rest in a specific reference frame s a speed increment of 0.500c, seven increments are required. Then, in this new frame, it receives an additional 0.500c increment.

The speed of an object, also known as v in kinematics, is a scalar quantity that refers to the size of the change in that object's position over time or the size of the change in that object's position per unit of time. The distance travelled by an object in a certain period of time divided by the length of the period gives the object's average speed in that period.

The spacecraft moves at v1 = 0.5c after the initial increment.The equation becomes V2 = V+V1/1+V*V1/c after the second one. 2 V2 = 0.5c+0.50c/1+(0.50c)^2/c^ 2 = 0.80c

Likewise, V3 = 0.929c

V4 = 0.976c

V5 = 0.992c

V6 = 0.99c

V7 = 0.999c

The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms separated by a large distance x is given by U(x)=−C6/x6, where C6 is a positive

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be " $-\frac{6C_{6}}{x^{7}}$ ". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The potential energy will be,

⇒ $U(x)= -\frac{C_{6}}{x^6}$

The expression of force will be,

⇒ $F=-\frac{dU(x)}{dx}$

⇒ $=-(C_{6}(-6)x^{-7})$

⇒ $=-\frac{6C_{6}}{x^{7}}$

Force seems to be appealing because the expression has been negative. It therefore means that the force or substance is acting laterally in on itself.
