Answer:

The magnitude of Adams' force is 88 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's law ∑ forces in direction of motion is equal to

mass multiplied by the acceleration

There are two forces here the friction force and Adams' force

Adams' force is in direction of motion

Friction force is opposite to direction of motion

→ Friction force = μ R,

where μ is the coefficient of friction and R is the normal reaction force

of the boat

→ R = mg

where m is the mass of the boat and g is the acceleration of gravity

→ m = 47 kg , g = 9.8 m/s²

→ R = mg

Substitute the values in the rule

→ R = 47 × 9.8 = 460.6 N

→ Friction force = μ R

→ μ = 0.13 , R = 460.0 N

Substitute the values in the rule

→ Friction force = 0.13 × 460.0 = 59.878 N

→ ∑ Forces in direction of motion = mass × acceleration

→ F - Friction force = mass × acceleration

→ Friction force = 59.878 N , m = 47 kg , a = 0.6 m/s²

Substitute the values in the rule

→ F - 59.878 = 47 × 0.6

→ F - 59.878 = 28.2

Add 59.878 to both sides

→ F = 88.078 N ≅ 88 N

<em>The magnitude of Adams' force is 88 N </em>

The centripetal force exerted on stunt motorcyclist Biker Bob while riding on the inner vertical surface of a circular track is:
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C.

The normal force is the force exerted by the biker on the inner vertical surface of the circular track.

When the biker move in the circular track centripetal force is acting on the biker which is being balanced by the normal force.

To overcome the gravitation force on the biker the velocity of the biker should be high such that centripetal acceleration of the biker can overcome the gravity force acting on the biker.

alekssr [168]

Answer:The small, individual helium molecules can escape through the tiny holes in the latex far more easily than the conjoined oxygen or nitrogen molecules can. ... This is why your helium balloons deflate faster than the ones you fill with air.
