A 2-kg box sits on a horizontal table. the force of friction between the box and the table is 10 n. the box is pushed to the rig

dangina [55]

By Newton's 2nd law of motion, F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Rearranging this equation to find acceleration would give us:
a = F/m

The horizontal force to the right is 10N, because the box is pushed to the right with a force of 20N, and the friction force of 10N opposes that, so:
20N - 10N = 10N

The mass is 2kg.

Putting these values into the equation gives us:
a = F/m
= 10/2
= 5ms^-2

The acceleration of the box is 5ms^-2

How much force is needed to keep the 750000 Newton Space Shuttle moving at a constant speed of 28000 km/h, in a straight line?

Alika [10]

The force needed to keep the space shuttle moving at constant speed is 0.

The given parameters;

weight of the space shuttle, F = 750,000 N
constant speed of the space shuttle, v = 28,000 km/h

The mass of the space shuttle is calculated as follows;

$W = mg\\\\m = \frac{W}{g} \\\\m = \frac{750,000}{9.8} \\\\m = 76,530.61 \ kg$

The force needed to keep the space shuttle moving at constant speed is calculated as follows;

$F = ma$

$F = 76,530.61 \times a$

where;

a is the acceleration of the space shuttle

At a constant speed, acceleration is zero.

F = 76,530.61 x 0

F = 0

Thus, the force needed to keep the space shuttle moving at constant speed is 0.

The kitchen in your house measures 10 ft by 10 ft. You need to have 50 footcandles of illumination in the room. How many 60 watt

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

6 bulbs are needed to illuminate the room.

Explanation:

Given:

Measurement of kitchen (A) = 10 ft by 10 ft = 100 sq. ft

Number of footcandles (n) = 50

Lumens emitted by 1 bulb = 834

Number of bulbs (N) = ?

We are also given,

1 foot candle = 1 lumen/sq. ft

So, 50 foot candles = 50 lumens/sq. ft

Now, for an area of 1 sq. ft 50 lumens are emitted.

So, for an area of 100 sq. ft, lumens emitted = 50 × 100 = 5000 lumens

Now, one bulb emits = 834 lumes

Therefore, number of bulbs required for emitting 5000 lumens is given as:

$N=\frac{Number\ of\ lumens}{Number\ of\ lumens\ by\ 1\ bulb}\\\\N=\frac{5000}{834}=5.995\approx6$

So, 6 bulbs are needed to illuminate the room.

5. No matter what month and date your birthday is on, NASA says it has a significant picture from

padilas [110]

Answer:

The Hubble space telescope.

Explanation:

Hubble is a telescope that observers the sky 24/7 non-stop, which means that for every day of the year it would have made a significant discovery, which of course includes your birthday. Furthermore, you can actually go to NASA website and find out what discovery was made on your birthday! This shows both the vastness of the universe (it really has to be huge for a telescope to have a discovery for each day of the year!) and the ceaseless work of the telescope!
