A 230 kg steel crate is being pushed along a cement floor. The force of friction is 480 N to the left and the applied force is 1

860 N to the right. What is the acceleration of the crate? (Hint: remember to find net force first)

The acceleration would be 6m/sThis is because of the formula, "f/m=a" to find the acceleration; We would need to subtract the force of the friction which equals 1380, then divide that by the mass (which was 230) to get the answer 6

Answer:

$6\text{m}/\text{s}^2$

Explanation:

Given: A $230$ $\text{kg}$ steel crate is being pushed along a cement floor. The force of friction is $480$ $\text{N}$ to the left and the applied force is $1860$ $\text{N}$ to the right.

To Find: What is the acceleration of the crate.

Solution:

Mass of steel crate $=230\text{N}$

Force of friction on steel crate $=480\text{N}$

Force applied on steel crate $=1860\text{N}$

Now,

As force of friction is in opposite direction of force applied

Net force applied on steel crate $=\text{total applied force}-\text{total friction foce}$

$1860-480$

$1380\text{N}$

$\text{force}=\text{mass}\times\text{acceleration}$

$\text{acceleration}=\frac{\text{force}}{\text{mass}}$

$\text{acceleration}=\frac{1380}{230}$

putting values

$\text{a}=6\text{m}/\text{s}^2$

Hence acceleration of crate is $6\text{m}/\text{s}^2$

A car that is standing still accelerates up a hill with a slope of 6.4% at an average acceleration of 2.93 ft/s^2. The hill is 1

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

213 s

Explanation:

Slope is the ratio of change in vertical distance to change in horizontal distance.

Slope = vertical height / horizontal height

Therefore:

6.4% = vertical height / 12.42

vertical height = 6.4% * 12.42

vertical height = 0.8 miles

The distance travelled by the car (s) is:

s² = 0.8² + 12.42²

s² = 154.9

s = 12.45 miles

Acceleration (a) = 2.93 ft/s^2 = 0.00055 mile/s²

initial velocity (u) = 0, final velocity = 203 mph

Using:

s = ut + 0.5at²

12.45 = 0.5(0.00055)t²

t =213 s

The index of refraction of a clear plastic is listed as 1.89 in the book, but you measured the angle of incidence 63.5° and the

lakkis [162]

Answer:

<h2>index of refraction = 1.69</h2><h2>percentage error = 10.58%</h2>

Explanation:

According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is a constant for a given pair of media. The constant is known as the refractive index.

Mathematically $\frac{sin i}{sin r} = n$

i = angle of incidence measured = 63.5°

r = angle of refraction measured = 32°

n = refractive index

$n = \frac{sin 63.5^{0} }{sin 32^{0} } \\n = \frac{0.8949}{0.5299}\\ n = 1.69$

The index fraction calculated is approx. 1.69.

If the index of refraction of a clear plastic as listed in the book is 1.89 and the calculated is 1.69, the percentage error will be calculated as thus;

%error = $\frac{1.89-1.69}{1.89} * 100$

%error = $\frac{0.2}{1.89}*100$

%error = $\frac{20}{1.89}$

%error = 10.58%

Using examples, explain why the first and second Newton laws of motion are significant for living organisms.

Triss [41]

Answer:

1) Newton's first law of motion states an object will remain at rest or in uniform will be in uniform motion in a straight line unless a force acts on it

2) Newton's second law states the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the applied force acting on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Explanation:

1) With Newton's first law, we are able arrange things within a space and schedule meetings in time knowing that they will remain in place unless an external force changes their positions

2) An example of Newton's second law of motion is that small objects such as a ball are easily accelerated and can be given appreciable acceleration for flight by single, one time contact (such as kicking the ball) while larger objects such as a rock require sustained force application to change their location.
