OK. So you're pushing on the small box, and on the other side of it, the small
box is pushing on the big box. So you're actually pushing both of them.
-- The total mass that you're pushing is (5.2 + 7.4) = 12.6 kg.
-- You're pushing it with 5.0N of force.
-- Acceleration of the whole thing = (force)/(mass) = 5/12.6 = <em>0.397 m/s²</em> (rounded)
-- Both boxes accelerate at the same rate. So the box farther away from you ...
the big one, with 7.4 kg of mass, accelerates at the same rate.
The force on it to make it accelerate is (mass) x (acceleration) =
(7.4 kg) x (5/12.6 m/s²) = <em>2.936 N.</em>
The only force on the big box comes from the small box, pushing it from behind.
So that same <em>2.936N</em> must be the contact force between the boxes.
Physical changes are those change which just externally or physically change the state of the object . for example : water boils and evaporates... here the state is just changing from liquid to vapour while the composition is the same.
chemical changes are those which bring about a change in the composition of a substance. for example: burning of paper changes into ash .
As seen from the Earth, the Sun, Moon, and planets all appear to move along the ecliptic. ... Unlike the Sun, however, the planets don't always move in the same direction along the ecliptic. They usually move in the same direction as the Sun, but from time to time they seem to slow down, stop, and reverse direction!
Because of various events in their (unknown) past history that resulted in deviations from the theoretical orbit. That formed in the plain of the ecliptic.
Capturing a large passing comet or asteroid might do it.
The answer is speed: 4.7 km/h, velocity: 3.3 km/h.
Distances and time are given:
d1 = 4 km
d2 = 3 km
d3 = 5 km
t = 1.5 h
The speed can be expressed as a distance (d) divided by time (t). The average speed (s) is total distance travelled divided by time:
s = (d1 + d2)/t = (4+3)/1.5 = 7/1.5 = 4.7 km/h
The average velocity (v) is total displacement (d₁) from the starting point divided by time. Since Mary's starting point was home, and she walked to the supermarket, which is 5.0 kilometers from her own home, her displacement is 5 km:
v = d₁/t = 5/1.5 = 3.3 km/h
