Wo siblings are arguing over what way to pull a 10 kg wagon. Boris wants to pull it to the right. Boris puts 220 N of force on t

he wagon. Natasha wants to pull it to the left. Natasha puts 250 N of force on the wagon. A) What is the net force on the wagon?B) What is the acceleration of the wagon?(Both parts require you to include the direction with your numerical answer.)

Answer:

a) Then net force acting on the wagon  30 [N] in a negative direction to the left

b)Acceleration of the wagon 3 m/s² in a negative direction to the left

Explanation:

The coordinates x and y show the positive direction in x-axis ( to the right) and negative direction to the left. In north-south direction positive y values are to the north and negative values to the south

The free-body diagram shows 4 forces acting

In y-axis:

The weight ( P = m*g =  10 [kg]*9,8 [m/s²] = 98 [N] negative

Normal reaction force  Fn = P = 98 [N]  positive ( surface is frictionless)

∑Fy = 0     P - Fn = 0     P = Fn  = 98 [N]

In x-axis:

Boris pulling force to the right (positive ) 220 [N]

Natasha pulling force to the left ( negative) 250 [N]

∑Fx = m*a

220 [N] - 250 [N]  = 10 Kg * a                      [N] = Kg * m /s²

-30 [kg*m/s²]  = 10 * Kg * a

-30/10  =  - 3  m/s²  = a

Sign (-) means the direction of acceleration vector is to the left (the same direction of the movement )

Then net force acting on the wagon  30 [N] in negative direction to the left

Acceleration of the wagon 3 m/s² in negative direction to the left

Two blocks, joined by a string, have masses of 6.0 and 9.0 kg. They rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A second string,
Lynna [10]

Answer:

T= 27 N

Explanation:

Assuming that the string joining both masses is massless  and inextensible, both masses accelerate at the same rate.

So, we can treat to both masses as a single system, and apply Newton's 2nd Law to both masses.

In this way, we can get the value of the acceleration without taking into account the tension in the string, as it is an internal force (actually a action-reaction pair).

Newton's 2nd law is a vector equation, so we can decompose the forces along perpendicular axis in order to convert it in two algebraic equations.

We can choose one axis as parallel to the horizontal surface (we call it x-axis, being the positive direction the one of  the movement of the blocks due to the horizontal force applied to the 6.0 kg block), and the other, perpendicular to it, so it is vertical (we call y-axis, being the upward direction the positive one).

Taking into account the forces acting  on both masses, we can write both equations as follows:

Fy = N- (m₁+m₂)*g = 0 (as there is no movement in the vertical direction)

Fx = Fh = (m₁ + m₂) * a ⇒ 45 N = 15.0 kg * a

⇒ a = 45 N / 15.0 kg = 3 m/s²

Now, in order to get the value of the tension T, we can choose as our system, to any mass, and apply Newton's 2nd Law again.

If we choose to the mass of 6.0 kg, in the horizontal direction, there are two forces acting on it, in opposite directions: the  horizontal applied force of 45 N, and the tension in the string that join both masses.

The difference of both forces, must be equal to the mass (of this block only) times the acceleration, as follows:

F- T = m₂* a ⇒ 45 N - T = 6.0 kg * 3 m/s²

⇒ T = 45 N -18 N = 27 N

We could have arrived to the same result taking the 9.0 Kg as our system, as the only force acting in the horizontal direction is just the tension in the string that we are trying to find out, as follows:

F = m₁*a = 9.0 kg* 3 m/s² = 27 N

an object is thrown off a cliff with intial pward velocity of 15m/s it strikes the ground with downward velocity of 25 m/s what
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

20 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 15 m/s

v = -25 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

Find: Δy

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(-25 m/s)² = (15 m/s)² + 2 (-10 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 20 m
