Fnet=m*a
a= Fnet/m

a=(20N[E]+9.0N[E])/ 12.0kg

a=2.4167m/s^2

a ≈ 2.4m/s^2

Answer:

The acceleration of the box its 0,91 m/s²

Explanation:

According to <em>Newton</em> first law, the force applyed to some object its equal to the mass of the object plus the acceleration of the same object.

   F=m.a ; clearing the acceleration of the equation ⇒ a=F/m

  Now in the problem its apeared the friction force and according to de phsysics definition its a force thats its against of movement.

  So the force its going to be equal to F= 20N - 9N.

 <u>Replacing in the equation</u> a=(20N - 9N)/12kg.

 <u>Solving</u> ⇒ a ≅0, 91 m/s²

Explain how do you determine the intensity of earthquake​
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The Richter scale measures the largest wiggle (amplitude) on the recording, but other magnitude scales measure different parts of the earthquake. The USGS currently reports earthquake magnitudes using the Moment Magnitude scale, though many other magnitudes are calculated for research and comparison purposes.

Magnesium (Mg) has 12 protons and an atomic mass of 24. How many neutrons does magnesium have?
JulijaS [17]
An atom is made up of three different particles, which are proton, neutron and electron. The proton and the neutron are located in the nucleus of the atom and they make up mass of the atom. The electron orbit around the nucleus. The proton is positively charged while the electron is negatively charged, thus, for the atom to remain neutral, the number of proton and electron in an atom must be equal. The neutron has no charge.
The atomic mass of an element = number of proton + number of neutron
Atomic mass of magnesium= 24 
Number of proton = 12
Therefore, number of neutron = 24 - 12 = 12.
Thus, the number of neutron = 12.
