<em>friction = 3 N 
pushing force= 9 N
as both are opposite in direction so their net force will be = 9-3= 6N
as we know that
F = ma 
re arranging the equation
a = F/m
by putting values 
a =  6/3 N/kg
a= 2 m/sec

The 'net' force acting on the box is (9 - 3) = 6 newtons
in the direction that Carlos is pushing.

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

6 = (3) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by 3 :

<em>2 m/s² = acceleration</em>

While performing an experiment, the student creating the data table is not sure if a measurement from the experiment is a vector
marin [14]

Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand both scalar and vector .

A scalar quantity is a physical quantity which has only magnitude for it's complete specification.

A vector quantity is that physical quantity which not only requires magnitude but also possesses direction for it's complete specification.

So the most important factor that differentiate vector from scalar is the direction.

As per the question the student is doing an experiment where he is recording the data obtained during the process.

In order to arrange them in data table, he should ask about the direction of the quantity under consideration.


Hence the correct option is the third option(C)i.e does the measurement include direction?

If a weight hanging on a string of length 5 feet swings through 5^\circ on either side of the vertical, how long is the arc thro
Zielflug [23.3K]
<span>First we can find the circumference of the whole circle with a radius of 5 feet. circumference = 2 pi radius circumference = (2 pi) (5 feet) circumference = (10 pi) feet From one high point to the other high point, the string moves through an angle of 10 degrees. Since a full circle is 360 degrees, this angle is 1/36 of a full circle. Therefore, the arc length is 1/36 of the whole circumference. arc length = (1/36) (circumference) arc length = (1/36) (10 pi) feet arc length = 0.873 feet</span>

Which of these is an experiment generally regarded as being first carried out by James Joule?
Sholpan [36]
1. The correct answer among the choices provided is the third option. Measuring the temperature increase of water from doing work by stirring it is an experiment generally regarded as being first carried out by James Joule.
2.  Joule's experiment directly shows that heat is a form of energy. He wanted to make a different way of measuring energy.

How fast would 40 Newtons of force accelerate a 2 kg object?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

20 m/s^2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

F=ma

where

F is the net force on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

In this problem:

F = 40 N is the force on the object

m = 2 kg is its mass

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{40}{2}=20 m/s^2
