<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.5 m/s²

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Force as 60 N

Mass of the Cart as 40 kg

We are required to calculate the acceleration of the cart.

From the newton's second law of motion, the rate of change in momentum is directly proportional to the resultant force.
That is, F = ma , where m is the mass and a is the acceleration

Rearranging the formula we can calculate acceleration, a

a = F ÷ m

= 60 N ÷ 40 kg

= 1.5 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 1.5 m/s²

Describe at least four of the requirements (facts) that any model of solar system formation must include (according to the nebul

kvasek [131]

The nebular theory describes the formation of the solar system and states that the system began as a gigantic cloud of gas and dust called a nebula which eventually condensed to form the sun, planets and other objects in the solar system. The first fact speaks to the formation of the planets, where gravity pulled larger clumps of material closer to form solid rocky planets closer to the sun and gas giants further out. The second requirement is that a nearby explosion or super nova would have to disturb our nebula to trigger rotation and the eventual formation of the sun. The third requirement/fact is that the planets go around the sun in the same direction. the last fact is that the planets go around the sun within 6 degrees of a common plane. This indicates that the solar system formed from a spinning disk of materials.

A uniform, spherical, 1900.0 kg shell has a radius of 5.00 m. Find the gravitational force this shell exerts on a 1.80 kg point

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

$F=9.09\times 10^{-9} N$

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of spherical shell, $m_1$ =1900 kg

Mass= $m_2=1.80 kg$

Radius of shell=r=5 m

Distance between two masses=r=5.01 m

Because distance measure from center .

Gravitational force

$F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

$G=6.67\times 10^{-11} Nm^2/kg^2$

Using the formula

$F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \frac{1900\times 1.80}{(5.01)^2}$

$F=9.09\times 10^{-9} N$

Hence,the gravitational force = $F=9.09\times 10^{-9} N$

A 63 gg ice cube can slide without friction up and down a 30∘30∘ slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring at the bottom o

tatiyna

Given Information:

slope angle = θ = 30°

spring constant = k = 30 N/m

compressed length = x = 10 cm = 0.10 m

mass of ice cube = m = 63 g = 0.063 kg

Required Information:

distance traveled by ice cube = d = ?

Answer:

distance traveled by ice cube = 0.48 m

Explanation:

Using the the principle of conversation of energy, the following relation holds true for this case,

mgh = 1/2*kx²

h = 1/2*kx²/mg

Where h is the height of the slope, m is the mass of ice cube, k is the spring constant and x is the compressed length o the spring and g is gravitational acceleration.

h = 1/2*kx²/mg

h = 1/2*30(0.1)²/0.063*9.8

h = 0.242 m

From trigonometry ratio,

sinθ = h/d

d = h/sinθ

d = 0.242/sin(30)

d = 0.48 m

Therefore, when the ice cube is released, it will travel a total distance 0.48 up the slope before reversing direction.
