Adam pushes a 47 kg boat across a frozen lake. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the boat and the ice is 0.13 and the

boat acceleration at 0.6 m/s^2. Calculate the magnitude of Adams force in the boat.

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>

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

electronic communications may be disrupted

Explanation:

Solar Flares: They occur when the magnetic field lines carrying charged particle entangle and reorganize over the photosphere of the Sun. In these flares charged particles leave the surface of the Sun to travel outwards.

If these flares are directed towards Earth, they will interact with anything related to electricity and magnetism. Out of the given options third option is correct as the electronic communication will be disrupted. If the flares are strong a complete power blackout may occur and that would disrupt all the communication channel and power transmission. Such events have occurred in the past as well.
