Answer:

(a) Girl acceleration =  0.15 m/s², (b) Sled acceleration =  0.93 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

M1=Mass of girl = 43 Kg

M2= mass of Sled = 7.1 Kg

Force F= 6.6 N

To Find (a) a1 = girl acceleration  (b) a2 = sled acceleration

Solution:

F1 = F2 = F   (Newton's 3rd Law)

F=ma (Newton's 2nd Law)

(a) F = M1a1

⇒a1 = F/M1 = 6.6 N / 43 Kg = 0.15 m/s²

(b) a2 = F / M2 = 6.6 N / 7.1 Kg =  0.93 m/s²

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The current in the primary is 0.026 A

Explanation:

Using the formula

I1 = (V1/V2)*I2

we have

I1 = (6.4/120)*0.500

I1 = 0.026 A

Given the function f(x) = 8x3 − 3x2 − 5x 8, what part of the function indicates that the left and right ends point in opposite d
ale4655 [162]

Answer: The degree of the first term.

Explanation:

The function:

f(x) = 8x^3-3x^2-5x^8

The left and right ends would be indicated when x is changed to -x. When this is substituted, the change is indicated by the first term because only the degree of first term is odd.

Let the left hand side be donated by -x.

Then,

f(-x) =8(-x)^3-3(-x)^2-5(-x)^8\\ \Rightarrow f(-x)=-8x^3-3x^2-5x^8

Hence, the correct option is the degree of the first term indicates the left and right end points of the function.
