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

(1)
we are only concerned about the horizontal direction, so there are only two forces acting on the box in this direction:
- the horizontal component of the force exerted by the rope, which is equal to

- the frictional force, acting in the opposite direction, which is equal to

By applying Newton's law (1), we can calculate the acceleration of the box:

Explanation:
B. More mass results in less acceleration.
Answer:
15.5 seconds
Explanation:
Apply Newton's second law:
∑F = ma
-12500 + 9200 = (12000) a
a = -0.275 m/s²
v = at + v₀
0 = (-0.275) t + 4.25
t = 15.5 s
It takes the boat 15.5 seconds to stop.
Answer:
3.0883 x 10^10mg
Explanation:
1 kilogram = 1000 000 milligrams
So, 30 883 x 1000 000 = 30 883 000 000mg
