Answer:

Acceleration of tray and carton = 6.03 m/s²

Horizontal force exerted by tray in carton = 3.02 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of tray (M) = 1.00 kg

Mass of milk carton (m) = 0.50 kg

Force applied on the system (F) = 9.04 N

The tray and carton slide horizontally without friction.

The free body diagram of the system is shown below.

The net force acting on the tray and carton system is the constant force 9.04 N.

The total mass of the system is (M + m) = 1.00 kg + 0.50 kg = 1.50 kg

Now, according to Newton's second law:

Net Force = mass × acceleration

⇒ Acceleration = Net force ÷ mass

Therefore, the acceleration of the tray and carton is given as:

a=\frac{9.04}{1.50}=6.03\ m/s^2

Now, consider the free body diagram of the carton alone.

The forces acting on the carton is only the horizontal force (f) exerted by the tray.

So, from Newton's second law:

Net Force = mass × acceleration

f=ma\\f=0.50\times 6.03\\f=3.02\ N

Therefore, the horizontal force exerted by the tray on the carton is 3.02 N.

A ship, carrying freshwater to a desert island in the caribbean, has a horizontal cross-sectional area of 2800 m2 at the waterli
Alex17521 [72]
<span>Due that we already know the horizontal cross-sectional area of the ship, which is 2800 m2 and we are going to understand that value keeps constant for the whole 9.5 of height of the ship from the waterline till the new waterline after unloading, then we just need to calculate the volume as follows: V = A * H , where V is volume, A is area and H is height V= 2,800 * 9.5 = 26,600 m3 So this volum of 26,600 cubic meters is the volum of freshwater delivered in the island.</span>

Angelina jumps off a stool. As she is falling, the Earth’s gravitational force on her is larger in magnitude than the gravitatio
valentinak56 [21]
The answer is True. The amount force exerted by any object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that our planet is exerting more gravitational force to Angelina, and Angelina is also exerting a gravitational force on our planet directly proportional to her mass. Angelina is actually falling towards the center of the earth,and also our planet is also moving towards Angelina, but it seems negligible with respect to Angelina.Our Sun is so massive that it held our planet in its orbit because of its gravitational force.
