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

Which of newton's laws explains why your hands get red when you press them hard against a wall?
evablogger [386]
The Newton's law that explains why the hands get red when you press them hard against a wall is Newton's third law. When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.

postnew [5]
Magnetic flux Ф is given by
Ф = ∫В.dA

dA is an element of area of the surface, the integration is carried over the entire surface through which we wish to calculate the flux. B is magnetic field.

If direction of coil is remained the same, area of the coil remains the same. But as we increase the magnetic field, the number of field lines passing through the coil increases. Therefore the magnetic flux will increase.
