Answer:

1 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

The Net Force refers to the sum of all forces acting on an object. Hence,

Net Force of box

= 20 + (-9.0)       [It is -9.0 as both forces are in different directions]

= 11.0 N

We also need to know that the net force on an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration of the object. Hence,

F_{net} = ma

11.0 = 12.0a

a = 1 m/s^{2} (nearest whole number)

Topic: Chapter 10: Projectory or trajectile?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The other angle is 75⁰

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the projectile, v = 10 m/s

range of the projectile, R = 5.1 m

angle of projection, 15⁰

The range of a projectile is given as;

R = \frac{u^2sin(2\theta)}{g}

To find another angle of projection to give the same range;

5.1 = \frac{10^2 sin(2\theta)}{9.81} \\\\100sin(2\theta) = 50\\\\sin(2\theta) = 0.5\\\\2\theta = sin^{-1}(0.5)\\\\2\theta = 30^0\\\\\theta = 15^0\\\\since \ the \ angle \ occurs \ in \ \ the \ first \ quadrant,\  the \ equivalent \ angle \\ is \ calculated \ as;\\\\90- \theta = 15^0\\\\\theta = 90 - 15^0\\\\\theta = 75^0

<u>Check: </u>

sin(2θ) = sin(2 x 75) = sin(150) = 0.5

sin(2θ) = sin(2 x 15) = sin(30) = 0.5

Why can't there be a number lower than absolute zero
nexus9112 [7]

Absolute zero is not about numbers.  It's about temperature, and the
motion of molecules in gases. 

You know that the temperature we feel with our skin is the result of the
average speed of all the tiny molecules zipping around or vibrating in
the solid, liquid, or gas.

The faster they're all moving, the warmer the substance feels to us. 
The slower they're all moving, the cooler the substance feels to us.

When molecules slow down to zero and lose all of their kinetic energy,
that temperature is what we call 'absolute zero' ... if they're not moving
at all, then they can't move any slower.

How does a force pumb works​
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

A force pump can be used to raise water by a height of more than 10m, the maximum height allowed by atmospheric pressure using a common lift pump.

In a force pump, the upstroke of the piston draws water, through an inlet valve, into the cylinder. On the downstroke, the water is discharged, through an outlet valve, into the outlet pipe.
