Answer:

The acceleration of the box is 3 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the box, m = 12 kg

horizontal force pulling the box forward, Fx = 48 N

frictional force acting against the box in opposite direction, Fk = 12 N

The net horizontal force on the box, F = 48 N - 12 N

The net horizontal force on the box, F = 36 N

Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the acceleration of the box;

F = ma

where;

F is the net horizontal force on the box

a is the acceleration of the box

a = F / m

a = 36 / 12

a = 3 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the box is 3 m/s²

Two rocks are at the top of a building. Rock 1 is dropped from rest while Rock 2 is thrown horizontaly at a velocity of 5 ms.
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure the answer is 0 m/s²

Explanation:

The horizontal velocity of the second rock is 5 m/s, so if we pretend air resistance doesn't exist, it will maintain that horizontal velocity, meaning that there is no horizontal acceleration.

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Resistivity ρ=1.12 x 10^-4 Ωm

Explanation:

ρ= RA/l, where R is resistance, A is cross sectional area and l is length

A=πr^2

Note Current is given R is proportion to temperature and inversely proportional to Current R=(20+273)/14*10^-2 =2000Ω

⇒ρ=R*πr^2/l all length in metre.

How does electroscope detect type of charge ?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

An electroscope is an early scientific instrument used to detect the presence of electric charge on a body. It detects charge by the movement of a test object due to the Coulomb electrostatic force on it. The amount of charge on an object is proportional to its voltage.
