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

Two horses, Thunder and Misty, are accelerating a wagon 1.3 m/s2. The force of friction is 75 N. Thunder is pulling with a force
just olya [345]

Answer:

1327 kg

Explanation:

So the net force exerted on the wagon would be the sum of forces from 2 horses subtracted by friction force

F = 1000 + 800 - 75 = 1725 N

This force results in an acceleration of a = 1.3 m/s2. We can use Newton's 2nd law to calculate the mass of the wagon

F = ma

m = F / a = 1725 / 1.3 \approx 1327 kg

If I connect an inductor (L) to a capacitor (C), I will get an LC oscillator circuit with some natural frequency omega. If I wer
mart [117]

The new natural frequency would be ω/2.

we know that,

f = \frac{1}{2 pi \sqrt{LC} } = ω.       -> equation 1

now, when capacitance is quadrupled,

f' = \frac{1}{2 pi \sqrt{L ( 4C )} }

f' = \frac{1}{2 pi (2)\sqrt{LC} }.           -> equation 2

substituting value of equation 1 in equation 2 , we get,

f' = \frac{w}{2}

Hence, the new natural frequency of the circuit is ω/2.

what do you mean by frequency ?

The resonant frequency for a particular circuit is the frequency at which this equality stands true. Where L is the inductance in henries and C is the capacitance in farads, this is the  LC circuit's resonant frequency.

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Force = 125 [N]

Explanation:

In the attached image we can see a sketch of the lever system.

And if we make a sum of moments at the point O equal to zero (0).

In the equation showed in the image, we can determinate the force that we need
