Since toy is moving at constant speed that means that force that child is applying on toy is equal to force of friction.

Rate of speed that toy is moving is irelevant.

childs force is:
Fc = 2N
Fc = Ff  (Ff -friction force)

Ff = a*Q

where Q is weight of the toy and a is friction

if we express a we get
a = F/Q = 2/8 = 0.25

Answer:

a. 0.25

Explanation:

The toy is moving across the floor at constant velocity - this means that its acceleration is zero.

According to Newton's second law, this means that the net force acting on the toy is zero:

F_{net}=ma=0 (1)

because a=0.

The net force, in this case, consists of two forces acting in opposite directions:

- The applied force, F = 2.0 N

- The frictional force, F_f = -\mu (mg)

where \mu is the coefficient of sliding friction and (mg)=8.0 N is the weight of the toy.

Therefore, the equation of the forces (1) becomes:

F+F_f = 0\\F-\mu (mg)=0\\\mu = \frac{F}{mg}=\frac{2.0 N}{8.0 N}=0.25

. The p.d. at the terminals of a battery is 25V when no load is connected and 24V when a load taking 10A is connected. Determine
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

the internal resistance of the cell is 0.1 ohm.

Explanation:

Given;

p.d at the terminals of a battery at no load, E₁ = 25 V

p.d at the terminals of a battery at a load, E₂ = 24 V

current through the circuit, I = 10 A

The potential drop across the circuit, V = E₁ - E₂

                                                              = 25 V -  24 V

                                                               = 1 V

The internal resistance of the cell is calculated as follows;

r = V/I

r = 1 / 10

r = 0.1 ohm

Therefore, the internal resistance of the cell is 0.1 ohm.

Anaya Goodloe decides to spike the football after a big touchdown (on Earth) and it
Llana [10]

Answer:

The football leaves with the velocity, u = 15.68 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The football bounces back up off the ground and is airborne for, t = 3.2 s

Let the football bounces back up off the ground in the vertical direction

The formula for time of flight is given by,

                              t = 2u /g

∴                             u = gt / 2

Substituting the values,

                               u = 9.8 x 3.2 / 2

                                u = 15.68 m/s

Hence, the football leaves with the velocity, u = 15.68 m/s

Jalen is sliding around on his kitchen floor in his
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

his feet feel warmer because of friction. when friction takes place then an object will warm up because friction is a universal law that always takes place. if you rub your hands together, you also experience the heat of frictional I hope that helped.

Two protons are released from rest when they are 0.750 {\rm nm} apart.
Alex787 [66]

Explanation:

Given:

m = 1.673 × 10^-27 kg

Q = q = 1.602 × 10^-19 C

r = 0.75 nm

= 0.75 × 10^-9 m

A.

Energy, U = (kQq)/r

Ut = 1/2 mv^2 + 1/2 mv^2

1.673 × 10^-27 × v^2 = (8.99 × 10^9 × (1.602 × 10^-19)^2)/0.75 × 10^-9

v = 1.356 × 10^4 m/s

B.

F = (kQq)/r^2

F = m × a

1.673 × 10^-27 × a = ((8.99 × 10^9 × (1.602 × 10-19)^2)/(0.075 × 10^-9)^2

a = 2.45 × 10^17 m/s^2.
