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

What’s the potential difference across a 5.0 ohms resistor that carries a current of 5.0A
vivado [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is B-25 V

Explanation:

We apply Ohm's Law, according to which:

V = i x R

V = 5A x 5Ω

V= 25 V

Being V the potential difference whose unit is the VOLT, i the current intensity (Ampere) and R the electrical resistance (ohm)

Andrew [12]

Answer:

0.34

Explanation:

2.5 Mg = 2500 kg

The change in speed from 100 km/h to 40 km/h is

\Delta v = 100 - 40 = 60 km/h = 60 * 1000 / (60 * 60) = 16.67 m/s

The deceleration caused by friction force is the change in speed per unit of time

a = \Delta v / \Delta t = 16.67 / 5 = 3.33 m/s^2

Using Newton 2nd law we can calculate the friction force that caused this deceleration:

F = ma = 2500 * 3.33 = 8333 N

Let g = 9.8m/s2. Friction force is the product of normal (gravity) force and friction coefficient

F = mg\mu

8333 = 2500*9.8\mu

\mu = \frac{8333}{2500 * 9.8} = 0.34
