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

A uniform horizontal beam 4.0 m long and weighing 200 N is attached to the wall by a pin connection that allows the beam to rota
wariber [46]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tension in the cable, T is 1,064.315 N

Explanation:

Here we have

Length of beam = 4.0 m

Weight = 200 N

Center of mass of uniform beam = mid-span = 2.0 m

Point of attachment of cable = Beam end = 4.0 m

Angle of cable = 53° with the horizontal

Tension in cable = T

Point at which person stands = 1.50 m from wall

Weight of person = 350 N

Therefore,

Taking moment about the wall, we have

∑Clockwise moments = ∑Anticlockwise moments

T×sin(53) = 350×1.5 + 200×2

T = 850/sin(53)  = ‭1,064.315 N.

Allushta [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

A (the entire green box): Chemical Equation

B (the blue box): Reactants

C (the arrow): Reacts to Form

D (the number): Coefficient

E (the purple box): Products

Explanation:

The chemical reaction of burning methane and oxygen is as follows;

Here, the green part A is the chemical equation that includes various parts that are reactants B, methane, and oxygen, C is an arrow that indicates the formation of products.

2 is here coefficient that indicates the moles of the oxygen which forms carbon dioxide and water in box E is products
