A man pushes his child in a grocery cart. The total mass of the cart and child is 30.0 kg. If the force of friction on the cart

is 15.0 N, how hard does the man have to push so that the cart accelerates at 1.50 m/s/s?

Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces applied to an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration:
\sum F = ma
where in our problem, m is the mass the (child+cart) and a is the acceleration of the system.

We are only concerned about what it happens on the horizontal axis, so there are two forces acting on the cart+child system: the force F of the man pushing it, and the frictional force F_f acting in the opposite direction. So Newton's second law can be rewritten as
F-F_a = ma
or
F=ma + F_f

since the frictional force is 15 N and we want to achieve an acceleration of a=1.50 m/s^2, we can substitute these values to find what is the force the man needs:
F=(30 kg)(1.5 m/s^2)+15 N=60 N

Why is the Earth generally warmer at the equator than at the poles?
Elenna [48]
Because of the earths curve and temperature. The temperature in an area depends on the amount of the Sun's energy reaching the surface in that area. The equator tilts closer to the sun than the poles do. I hope this helps!

What happens to the force between two objects if the mass of one object is doubled.
Citrus2011 [14]

If the mass of one object is doubled, the force between these objects will also double.

Force refers to an influence on a body which can change its state of rest or motion.

Force F = G(mM/d^2) (where m is the mass of first object, M is the mass of the second object and G is the gravitational pull and d is the distance between the two objects)

The force between two objects (m and M) (according to the universal law of gravitation) is proportional to their mass and reciprocally proportional to the square of their separation (R) between them.

So F' = G(2mM/d^2),

which means F'=2F

Therefore, the when the mass is doubled, the force also doubles.

How much heat in kilojoules is required to melt an ice cube with a mass of 18.6 g at 0 °C? The Lf for water is 333 J/g.
blagie [28]
Q = m.Lf.
Here, m = 18.6 g
Lf = 333 J/g 

Substitute their values, 
Q = 18.6 × 333 = 6193.8 J

We know, 1 KJ = 1000 J
So, 6193.8 J = 6.193 KJ

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!
