1) 12.5 N east

There are two forces acting on the box along the horizontal direction:

- The applied force of 15 N east, we indicate it with F

- The force of friction of 2.5 N west, we indicate it with F_f

Taking east as positive direction, we can write the two forces has

F=+15 N\\F_f = -2.5 N

Therefore, the net force on the box will be:

F_{net} = F + F_f = 15 + (-2.5) = +12.5 N

And the positive sign means the direction is east.

2) 2.5 m/s^2

We can solve this part by using Newton's second law:

F_{net}=ma

where

F_{net} is the net force on the box

m is its mass

a is the acceleration

For the box in this problem,

F_{net} = 12.5 m/s^2 (east)

m = 5.0 kg

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{12.5}{5.0}=2.5 m/s^2

And the direction is the same as the net force (east)

Let's look at Newton's second law

  • F=ma

Force is directly proportional towards mass

If mass is more force will be more.

Between baseball and bowling ball Bowling ball has higher mass

So it would expert most force

In a research facility, a person lies on a horizontal platform which floats on a film of air. When the person's heart beats, it
anastassius [24]

Answer: 3.48g

Explanation:

here, we will be using conservation of momentum to solve the problem. i.e the total momentum remains unchanged, unless an external force acts on the system. We'll in thus question, there is no external force acting in the system.

Remember, momentum = mass * velocity, then

mass of blood * velocity of blood = combined mass of subject and pallet * velocity of subject and pallet

Velocity of blood = 56.5cm = 0.565m

mass of blood * 0.565 = 54kg * (0.000063/0.160)

mass of blood * 0.565 = 54 * 0.00039375

mass of blood * 0.565 = 0.001969

mass of blood = 0.00348kg

Thus, the mass of blood that leaves the heart is 3.48g

If the trend changed toward traditional (pre-World War II) families, how would that affect women’s rights?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

If the trend changed toward traditional (pre-World War II) families, the women’s rights are employment in manufacturing sector.

<h3>What is World war?</h3>

The war between two countries to take over each other's kingdom using weapons to kill each other.

Before the world war, the army needs armor, weapons, guns and tanks. Their manufacturing is only possible with many workers to work for long hours. If the men are not enough, then women are given opportunities to work with them.

Thus, the women’s rights are employment in manufacturing sector when trend changed traditional families.

What is the principle of potentiometer?​
kupik [55]

Answer:

The principle of a potentiometer is that the potential dropped across a segment of a wire of uniform cross-section carrying a constant current is directly proportional to its length. The potentiometer is a simple device used to measure the electrical potentials (or compare the e.m.f of a cell).
