We must remember that the total net force equation at constant velocity is:

<span>F – Ff = 0</span>

of

F - µN = 0

Using Newton's 2nd Law of Motion:<span>

F = m a 

<span>Where,

F = net force acting on the body 
m = mass of the body 
a = acceleration of the body 

Since the cart is moving at a constant velocity, then acceleration is zero, hence the working equation simplifies to 

F = net Force = 0 

Therefore, 

F - µN = 0 

where 

µ = coefficient of friction = 0.20 
N = normal force acting on the cart = 12 N 

Therefore, 

F - 0.20(12) = 0 

<span>F = 2.4 N </span></span></span>

How much thermal energy is needed to melt 1.25 kg of water at its melting point? Use Q = masslaten heat of fusion.
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Latent heatnof fusion = 417.5 J

Explanation:

Specific latent heat of fusion of water is 334kJ.kg-1.

The heat required to melt water when it's ice I called latent heat because there is no temperature change, the only change observed is change in physical structure.

The amount of heat required to change 1 kg of solid to its liquid state (at its melting point) at atmospheric pressure is called Latent heat of Fusion.

Latent heat = ML

Latent heat= 1.25 kg * 334kJ.kg-1

Latent heat = 1.25*334 *(J/kg)*kg

Latent heat = 417.5 J

What happens when multiple forces act upon an object?
Bogdan [553]
The object will move if the forces are unbalanced.

Newtons second tells you that when a net force (the unbalanced force) is applied to and object it will produce an acceleration (movement) in direct proportion to the force and in inverse proportion to the mass of the object.

Which system of measurement has been standardized worldwide for scientific uses?
belka [17]
<h2>Answer: The Systeme international (International System of Units)</h2>

The International System of Units (SI) is used in almost every country in the world (<em>except Burma, Liberia and the United States</em>).

This system was created in 1960 by the 11th General Conference of Weights and Measures in France and is made up of seven basic units:  

-Ampere (electric current)

-Kelvin (temperature)

-Second (time)

-Meter (length)

-Kilogram (mass)

-Candela (luminous intensity)

-Mol (amount of substance) *added to the system in 1971

Plus an unlimited number of derived units from the main ones.

Energy can be changed from one form to another. Changes in the form of energy are called energy conversions. In an automobile en
Harman [31]

Answer: D <u>(chemical</u>  -> <u>heat</u> -> <u>mechanical</u>)

In automobile engines the petrol/diesel fuel enter in to the engine cylinder, due to spark at the end of the compression, fuel burnt increase the temperature and pressure, develops heat <em>(chemical energy -> heat energy). </em><em>This heat energy acts on a piston develops the work on the crankshaft </em><em>( Heat energy -> Mechanical energy)</em><em>. </em>
