The acceleration of the box is approximately 1 m/s^2

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m = 12.0 kg is the mass of the box

a is the acceleration

The net force can be written as

\sum F = F_a - F_f

where

F_a = 20 N is the applied forward force

F_f=9.0 N is the friction force

Combining the two equations,

F_a-F_f=ma

And solving for the acceleration,

a=\frac{F_a-F_f}{m}=\frac{20-9}{12}=0.9 m/s^2\sim 1 m/s^2

A spherical balloon is inflated with gas at the rate of 500 cubic centimeters per minute. How fast is the radius of the balloon
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

<h2>0.245cm/min</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of the spherical balloon is expressed as V = 4/3πr³ where r is the radius of the spherical balloon. If the spherical balloon is inflated with gas at the rate of 500 cubic centimetres per minute then dV/dt = 500cm³.

Using chain rule to express dV/dt;

dV/dt = dV/dr*dr/dt

dr/dt is the rate at which the radius of the gallon is increasing.

From the formula, dV/dr = 3(4/3πr^3-1))

dV/dr = 4πr²

dV/dt = 4πr² *dr/dt

500 =  4πr² *dr/dt

If radius r = 40;

500 = 4π(40)² *dr/dt

500 = 6400π*dr/dt

dr/dt = 500/6400π

dr/dt = 5/64π

dr/dt  = 0.245cm/min

Hence, the radius of the balloon is increasing at the rate of 0.245cm/min

A gas sample occupies 4.2 L at a pressure of 101 kPa. What volume will it occupy if the pressure is increased to 235 kPa?
Dmitrij [34]
For this we want to use Boyle's Law. Boyle’s law states that the pressure and volume of a fixed quantity of a gas are inversely proportional under constant temperature conditions. The formula for this is P1V1 = P2V2. We want to solve this out so it equals V2 (Volume 2). So P1V1 / P2 = V2. Then plug in your values for the variables. So (101)(4.2) / 235 = V2; so 424.2 / 235 = V2. The final volume equals 1.81. I hope this helps, If not I am very sorry.

Hi there!

We know that:

U (Potential energy) = mgh

We are given the potential energy, so we can rearrange to solve for h (height):

U/mg = h

g = 9.81 m/s²

m = 30 g ⇒ 0.03 kg

0.062/(0.03 · 9.81) = 0.211 m

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Please mark as Brainliest!!

Explanation:

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, the symbols for each element in the compound are followed by subscripts that tell us how many of that element are in the compound.

For an example, let's look at the the formula for compound glucose:

C 6  H 12  O 6

________

The subscripts that follow each element's symbol indicate how many of that element are in the compound.
