Answer:

<h2>15.25 N</h2>

Explanation:

       A force of 55\text{ }N is acting on a wagon along the road. The wagon weights 7.5\text{ }kg. Acceleration of the wagon is given as 5.3\text{ }\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

       Consider the block as the system, the forces acting are Frictional force, Gravitational force, Normal reaction and External force applied by us.

       Gravitational Force and Normal Reaction cancel out each other.

       Net External Force = Mass of system/wagon \times Acceleration of wagon

       F_{ext}-F_{friction}=(7.5\text{ }kg)\times(5.3\text{ }\frac{m}{s^{2}})=39.75\text{ }N\\55\text{ }N-F_{friction}=39.75\text{ }N\\F_{friction}=15.25\text{ }N

F_{friction} has a negative sign because it opposes the motion of the wagon.

∴ Frictional Force = 15.25 N

What is terminal velocity and how is it reached?
Ber [7]
He thermal velocity or thermal speed is a typical velocity of the thermal motion of particles which make up a gas, liquid, etc. Thus, indirectly, thermal velocity is a measure of temperature. Technically speaking it is a measure of the width of the peak in the Maxwell–Boltzmann particle velocity distribution.
