Answer:

a = 1.764m/s^2

Explanation:

By Newton's second law, the net force is F = ma.

The equation for friction is F(k) = F(n) * μ.

In this case, the normal force is simply F(n) = mg due to no other external forces being specified

F(n) = mg = 15kg * 9.8 m/s^2 =  147N.

F(k) = F(n) * μ = 147N * 0.18 = 26.46N.

Assuming the object is on a horizontal surface, the force due to gravity and the normal force will cancel each other out, leaving our net force as only the frictional one.

Thus, F(net) = F(k) = ma

26.46N = 15kg * a

a = 1.764m/s^2

alina1380 [7]
Potential energy<span> is energy which results from position or configuration. It is the energy stored in an object not moving. It is calculated by:

PE = mgh

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleratin and h is the height.

PE = 10 ( 9.8) (320) = 31360 J = </span>3.1 x 104 J --------> OPTION 2

What is the latent heat of vaporization for water
natulia [17]

When a material in liquid state is given energy, it changes its phase from liquid to vapor; the energy absorbed in this process is called heat of vaporization. The heat of vaporization of water is about 2,260 kJ/kg, which is equal to 40.8 kJ/mol. The vaporization is the opposite process of condensation.
