A 1.5 kilogram cart initially moves at 2.0 meters per second. It is brought to rest by a constant net forcé in 3.0 second. What

is the magnitude of the net force ?

The net force on the cart is

                   Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

We know the mass = 1.5 kilogram, but we need to
calculate the acceleration.

               Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (ending speed) minus (beginning speed)

                               =    ( 0 )  -  ( 2 m/s )  =   -2 m/s

Acceleration =  (change in speed) / (time for the change)

                       =       ( -2 m/s )   /   (3 sec)

                       =           - 2/3  m/s² .

Finally ...        Net force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                                       =  (1.5 kilogram) x ( - 2/3 m/s²)

                                       =  ( - 3/2 x 2/3 )  (kg-m/s²)

                                       =       - 1  newton .

The negative sign on the force means the force is applied
opposite to the direction the cart is moving.  That gives
negative acceleration (slowing down), and the cart
eventually stops.

A block of metal is 3 cm on each side. It has a mass of 283.5 grams. What is the density of the metal.
Luden [163]
Density =  \frac{Mass}{Volume}
\\\rho=\frac{m}{V}
\\\\\rho=\frac{283.5}{3^3}
\\\\\rho=\frac{283.5}{27}
\\\\\rho = 10.5  g/cm^3

Imagine an isolated positive point charge Q (many times larger than the charge on a single proton). There is a charged particle
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric force on this charged particle A depends upon the following

5. the distance between the point charge Q and the charged particle A

8. the amount of the charge on the point charge Q

9. the magnitude of charge on the charged particle A

If this speed is based on what would be safe in wet weather, estimate the radius of curvature for a curve marked 50 km/h . The c
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

v = 50 km / h

= 13.89 m /s

When a vehicle runs on a circular path , it is static friction which prevents it from getting overturned .

static friction = μs mg

centripetal force = m v² / R

m v² / R = μs mg

R = v² / μs x g

= 13.89² / .7 x 9.8

= 28.12 m .

Can someone help with number 4 please
kondaur [170]
The way I look at these things is like this:

-- The runner covered 12 meters in 4 seconds.
Average speed = 3 meters per second.

-- Speed at the beginning = zero.
In order to make the average 3, Speed at the end = 6 meters per second.

-- Speed increased from zero to 6 meters per second in 4 seconds.
It must have increased 1.5 meters per second each second.

That's choice-#2.

Cloud [144]

When the planet is closest to the Sun, speed v and kinetic energy are the highest, and gravitational potential energy is the lowest. When the planet moves farther away, the speed and kinetic energy decrease, and the gravitational potential energy increases.
