Answer:

D) 0.33 m/s² to the right

Explanation:

Apply Newton's second law.  Take right to be positive and left to be negative.

∑F = ma

20 N − 5 N = (45 kg) a

a = 0.33 m/s²

The couch accelerates at 0.33 m/s² to the right.

Answer: acceleration = 0.33m/s² to the right.

Explanation: when two forces act in opposite direction along same axis thier resultant direction is always with that force of higher magnitude in this case 20N

Resultant force F = -5N + 20N = 15N to the right.

But

F = Mass * acceleration

acceleration = F/ mass

= 15N/45kg

= 0.33N/kg

Which is also 0.33m/s² to the right.

A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 90.0 N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The mass of the ice block is equal to 70.15 kg

Explanation:

The data for this exercise are as follows:

F=90 N

insignificant friction force

x=13 m

t=4.5 s

m=?

applying the equation of rectilinear motion we have:

x = xo + vot + at^2/2

where xo = initial distance =0

vo=initial velocity = 0

a is the acceleration

therefore the equation is:

x = at^2/2

Clearing a:

a=2x/t^2=(2x13)/(4.5^2)=1.283 m/s^2

we use Newton's second law to calculate the mass of the ice block:

F=ma

m=F/a = 90/1.283=70.15 kg

A long straight cylindrical shell has an inner radius R_i and an outer radius R_0. It carries a current i, uniformly distributed
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Correct answer is option D

- Wire is on the cylinder axis and carries current i in the direction opposite to that of the current in the shell

Explanation:

- It cannot be Option E, because the magnetic field outside the wire would not be 0 due to the current carried by the conductor

-Also, the parallel wire cannot carry current in the same direction because, that would amplify the magnetic field created by the outer cylinder (since B is dir. proportional to the current) -and now, that leaves only option C and D. If, it is Option C, then that means one side of the cylinder would be more closer to the parallel wire than the other, so there would be different B fields on the two opposite sides of the cylinder. So, that means the answer is option D.

Which of the following distinguishes electromagnetic waves from mechanical waves
Ivan

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Mechanical waves require material medium for their propagation while electromagnetic waves do not require material medium for their propagation.

2. Mechanical waves can either be transverse or longitudinal while electromagnetic waves are transverse.(Transverse waves are waves in which the vibration of the particules of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the motion of wave. E.g water waves, waves of a plucked string and all electromagnetic waves RIVUXG . Longitudinal waves are waves whose vibration are parallel to the direction of the motion of the medium e.g waves in strings, sound waves.e.t.c)
