Answer:

a = 4.96 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the box, m = 51 Kg

The magnitude of the applied force, Fₐ = 485 N

The friction force on the box, Fₓ = 232 N

The net force acting on the box is,

F = Fₐ - Fₓ

Substituting the given values in the above equation

F = 485 - 232

= 253 N

The acceleration of the crate is given by

a = F/m

= 253 / 51

= 4.96 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the crate is, a = 4.96 m/s²

Jessica has a mass of 55kg she sleds down a hill that has a slope of 32 degrees. what is the component of her weight that is alo

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

W = 285.62 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Jessica is 55 kg

Slope of the hill is 32 degrees

We need to find the component of her weight that is along her direction of motion.

The component along her direction of motion is shown in attached figure. It means

$W_y=mg\sin\theta\\\\W_y=55\times 9.8\times \sin(32)\\\\W_y=285.62\ N$

So, the component of her weight that is along her direction of motion is 285.62 N.

At an instant when a soccer ball is in contact with the foot of the player kicking it, the horizontal or x component of the ball

dedylja [7]

Answer:

Magnitude of net force will be 432.758 N

Explanation:

We have given x component of acceleration $a_x=760m/sec^2$

And vertical component of acceleration $a_y=770m/sec^2$

Mass of the ball m = 0.40 kg

So net acceleration $a=\sqrt{a_x^2+a_y^2}=\sqrt{760^2+770^2}=1081.896m/sec^2$

Now according to second law of motion

Force = mass × acceleration

So F = 0.40×1081.896 = 432.758 N

Which of the follow represent a chemical changes

mixer [17]

Answer:

C) steel turning to rust in salt air

Explanation:

The missing options are:

A) ice melting to form liquid water

B) water boiling to form steam

C) steel turning to rust in salt air

D) sugar dissolving into hot coffee

In a chemical change the atoms of the reacting compounds are reordered forming new compounds. In a chemical change, new compounds appear, but in a physical change not.

Then, change of states like ice melting and water boiling are not chemical changes.

During steel rust, components of steel, like iron, are oxidized, that is, reacts with oxygen forming oxides.

The dissolution of sugar into hot coffee is a physical change in which sugar molecules get further apart in the coffee, but they don't change.
