Alex is asked to move two boxes of books in contact with each other and resting on a rough floor. He decides to move them at the

same time by pushing on box A with a horizontal pushing force FP = 8.9 N. Here, A has a mass mA = 10.2 kg and B has a mass mB = 7.0 kg. The contact force between the two boxes is FC. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the boxes and the floor is 0.04. (Assume FP acts in the +x direction.)

Answer:

Explanation:

The force of friction acting on the system

= .04 x 9.8 ( 10.2 + 7 )

= 6.74 N

Net force = 8.9 - 6.74

= 2.16 N

Acceleration in the system

= 2.16 /  ( 10.2 + 7 )

= .12558 m / s ²

Contact force between boxes = FP

Considering force on box A

Net force = 8.9 - FP

Applying Newton's law on box A

8.9 - FP = 10.2 x .12558

= 1.28

FP = 8.9 - 1.28

= 7.62 N

An object accelerates from rest to a velocity of 4m/s over a distance of 20m what is the acceleration
Goshia [24]

Answer:

Data:-vi=0 ,vf=4m/s ,s=20m ,a=?

Explanation:

Solution according to 3rd eq of motion 2as=vf²-vi² here we have to find a so a=vf²-vi²/2s ,a=(4²) -(0)²/2×20 ,a=16/40 ,a=0.4m/sec²

The space program contributes a great deal to enrich the lives of Floridians and beyond. One way that NASA brings an income to F
Ivan

Answer: Through tourism.

Explanation:

Since NASA space centre is located in Florida where NASA launches spaceflight, this is a huge tourist attraction for viewers in the United States and world entirely.

Florida generates income through people coming to view the launch of the spaceflight as tourism.

The tourists help in many ways like lodging into hotels, buying one or two things, taking transport from one place to another which will eventually help Florida economy.
