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

If a 0.15 kg ball falls and has a KE of 20 J just before striking the ground, from what height did it fall. A. 1.36m B. 3m C. 13
RUDIKE [14]
According to the conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy just before the ball strikes the ground is equal to the potential energy just before it fell. 

Therefore, we can say KE = PE
We know that PE = m·g·h

Which means KE = m·g·h

We can solve for h:

h = KE / m·g
   = 20 / (0.15 · 9.8) 
   = 13.6m

The correct answer is: the ball has fallen from a height of 13.6m.

Suppose two objects are gravitationally attracted to each other with some force F. If the mass of object 1 is multiplied by a fa
RoseWind [281]

If F = Gm₁m₂/d², and we change m₁ to 5m₁ and m₂ to 2m₂, then the new magnitude of the gravitational force is

F' = G (5m₁) (2m₂) / d²

F' = 10  Gm₁m₂ / d²

but this is really just F' = 10F. So J is the correct choice.

ohaa [14]
To find the average of data collected, add all of the measurements: 5.9+6.2+6.3+6= 12.2

Then, divide the total amount by the number of data collected which is 4: 12.2/4= 3.05

The average speed of the runner of the race is approximately 3.05 km/min
