Answer:

B. the force of friction of the road on the tires

Explanation:

Unless the car engine is like jet engine, the main force that accelerates the car forward is the force of friction of the road on the tires, which is ultimately driven by the force of engine on the tires shaft. As the engine, and the shaft are part of the system, their interaction is internal. According to Newton laws of motion, the acceleration needs external force, in this case it's the friction of the road on the tires.

According to Newton's law of motion, when we shake a mango tree, mangoes fall down explain.​
Reptile [31]
When we shake a mango tree, the mangoes fall down. It is because when we shake the tree, the mango tend to be rest due to inertia where as the branches are in motion. That is why the mangoes tend to be at rest due to inertia where as the branches are in the motion.

Suppose you read in the newspaper that a new planet has been found. Its average speed in its orbit is 33 kilometers per second (
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not  when it is farthest away.

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using Kepler's second law of planetary motion, which states that:

"A line connecting the center of the Sun with the center of each planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time"

This means that when a planet is further away from the Sun, it will move slower (because the line is longer, so it must move slower), while when the planet is closer to the Sun, it will move faster (because the line is shorter, so it must move faster).

In the text of this problem, it is written that the planet moves at 31 km/s when is close to the star and 35 km/s when it is farthest: this is in disagreement with what we said above, therefore the correct option is

E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not  when it is farthest away.

<span>9.50x10^2 newtons A pascal is defined as 1 newton per square meter. So let's multiply the pressure by the surface area of the box lid. F = 1.00x10^-2 m^2 * 9.50x10^4 N/m^2 = 9.50x10^2 N So it will take 9.50x10^2 newtons of force to remove the lid from the box.</span>
