Using the equation

F=ma

we can observe that you have to apply a non-zero net force to an object in order to make it accelerate. In fact, if the net force is zero you have

0=ma \iff a=0

Since we're assuming n\neq 0

Now, if the 12N force is applied, the object moves with a constant speed. A constant speed means no acceleration, since by definition the acceleration is a change in speed.

If this sounds counterintuitive to you (why I'm applying a force but I have to acceleration?) think of when we drive a car: even if you want to keep your speed constant, you still have to use the gas pedal, just enough so that the push of the motor balances exactly the road/wheels friction. If you give less gas, the friction becomes stronger, and the car slows down. If you give more gas, the motor push becomes stronger, and the car accelerates.

Back to your exercise: constant speed means to acceleration, so the net force must be zero. This implies that the friction force is exactly 12N.

If the force is increased to 18N, there will be a net force of 6N pushing the object, causing it to accelerate. Using again the same equation of before, and plugging the 3kg mass in the equation, we have

F=ma \iff 6=3a \iff a=2

So, the object moves with constant acceleration and initial speed of 10m/s for 0.2 seconds. It's final speed will be

v = v_0+at = 10+2\cdot 0.2 = 10.4

Power P is the rate at which energy is generated or consumed and hence is measured in units that represent energy E per unit time t. This is:

P = E/t

Solving for t:

t = E/P

t = 6007 J / 500 W

t = 12.014 s

<h2>t ≅ 12 s</h2>

An airplane flies 120 km at a constant altitude in a direction 30.0° north of east. a wind is blowing that results in a net hori
astraxan [27]
 Best Answer:<span>  </span><span>The net angle between the direction of flight of the aircraft and the wind in the opposing direction is 20. THe component opposing the aircraft is 2.4*cos 20 KN 
= 2400 * 0.9397 = 2255.2622 N. The distance covered is 120 Km 
The work done by the aircraft overcoming the wind is 
= 2255.2622 * 120000 = 270631464 = 2.71 x 10^8 N 
As the question is trickily worded as : the work done on the plane by the air (wind) the answer is -2.71 x 10^8 J . (fourth option)</span>
