If a box is pulled straight across the floor at a constant speed and it is pulled with a horizontal force of 48 N., what is the

net force (in N) on the box.

If its speed is constant and it's moving in a straight line, THAT's "constant, uniform motion".  That can only happen when there's NO net force on the object.  

So besides the 48 N forward that the puller is giving it, there must be friction with the floor, or mosquitoes all over it trying to fly backwards, or somebody crouched down behind it pulling it backwards, or some other kinds of things going on, that all add up to 48 N BACKWARDS.

Somehow, the NET force on the box has to be <em>zero, </em>because of the way it's moving.

Using Newton's third law of motion, explain what happens when you let an untied balloon go.
mash [69]

Answer:

balloon pushes you back

Explanation:

3rd Law: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

So, when you let go of the balloon it's pushed forward so the balloon pushes you back

Which of these processes are chemical reactions
White raven [17]

Explanation:

  • In chemical reactions, chemical changes occur.
  • Atoms are simply rearranged and new bonds are formed.
  • Chemical reactions are driven by a need for atoms to attain stability in their structure.
  • In all chemical reactions, a reactant or reactants gives new product i.e new substances are formed.
  • Most these reactions are not easily reversible.
  • They are usually accompanied by the release of energy.

Consider the image above. Vi = the initial velocity and Vf = the final velocity. Is there acceleration? Explain your answer.
lutik1710 [3]
<span><span>Velocity is a vector, and the initial and final ones are in opposite directions.
There must have been acceleration in order to change the direction of motion.</span>

A) No. The initial and final velocities are the same.
This is all wrong, and not the correct choice.
It's "Yes", and the initial and final velocities are NOT the same.

B) Yes. The ball had to slow down in order to change direction.
This is poor, and not the correct choice.
The "Yes" is correct, but the explanation is bad.
Acceleration does NOT require any change in speed.

C) No. Acceleration is the change in velocity. The ball's velocity is constant.
This is all wrong, and not the correct choice.
It's "Yes", there IS acceleration, and the ball's velocity is NOT constant.

D) Yes. Even though the initial and final velocities are the same, there is a change in direction for the ball.
This choice is misleading too.
The "Yes" is correct ... there IS acceleration.
The change in direction is the reason.
The initial and final velocities are NOT the same.  Only the speeds are.

How much work must be done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 5.0×10^−10 m from one another (at the corners
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

1.38 x 10^-18 J

Explanation:

q = - 1.6 x 10^-19 C

d = 5 x 10^-10 m

the potential energy of the system gives the value of work done

The formula for the potential energy is given by

U =\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d}

So, the total potential energy of teh system is

U =\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d}+\frac{Kq_{2}q_{3}}{d}+\frac{Kq_{1}q_{3}}{d}

As all the charges are same and the distance between the two charges is same so the total potential energy becomes

U =3\times \frac{Kq^{2}}{d}

K = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

By substituting the values

U =3\times \frac{9\times 10^{9}\times \ 1.6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-38}}{5\times 10^{-10}}

U = 1.38 x 10^-18 J
