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

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Liquid

Explanation:

Solids do not change shape, so we know it's not a solid.

Gases take the shape of their container, but they also expand to the volume of the container.  The substance in this problem has the same volume in different size containers, so we know it's not a gas.

The substance must be a liquid.  It takes the shape of its container but has a constant volume.
