Carlos pushes a 3 kg box with a force of 9 newtons. The force of friction on the box is 3 newtons in the opposite direction. Wha

t is the acceleration of the box?

<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</em>²

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>

You cause a particle to move from point A, where the electric potential is 11.3 V, to point B, where the electric potential is −

BabaBlast [244]

Explanation:

The electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit of charge

$V=\frac{U}{q}$

Using this definition, we can calculate the electrostatic potential energy change between point A and B:

$\Delta U=U_A-U_B\\\Delta U=qV_A-qV_B\\\Delta U=q(V_A-V_B)$

Electron: $q=-1.6*10^{-19}C$

$\Delta U=-1.6*10^{-19}C(11.3V+25.9V)\\\Delta U=-5.952*10^{-18}J$

Proton: $q=1.6*10^{-19}C$

$\Delta U=1.6*10^{-19}C(11.3V+25.9V)\\\Delta U=5.952*10^{-18}J$

Neutral hydrogen atom: $q=0$

$\Delta U=0$

Singly ionized helium atom: $q=1.6*10^{-19}C$

$\Delta U=1.6*10^{-19}C(11.3V+25.9V)\\\Delta U=5.952*10^{-18}J$

When a 100-N force acts horizontally on an 8.0-kg chair, the chair moves at a constant speed across the level floor. Which state

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The applied force is greater than the frictional force.

Explanation:

the chair moves at <u>a constant speed</u><u> </u><u>therefore</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>answer</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>not</u><u> </u><u>A</u><u> </u><u>or</u><u> </u><u>C</u><u>.</u>

if there is no friction then the chair <u>would accelerate and it would not be at a constant speed</u><u>.</u>

hence, the only possible answer is B.

A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 19.0 m/s. (a) How high does it rise? m (b) How long does it take to reach its

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Initial speed= $u=19 m/s$

a. $g=9.8m/s^2$

Final velocity of ball= $v=0$

$v=u-gt$

g is negative because the ball is going against to gravity.

$0=19-9.8t$

$9.8t=19$

$t=\frac{19}{9.8}=1.94 s$

$s=ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Using the formula

$s=19(1.94)-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(1.94)^2$

$s=18.4 m$

a.The ball rise upto height 18.4 m

b.It take 1.94 s to reach its highest point.

c.Initial velocity=0,s=18.4 m

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$18.4=0(t)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$18.4=4.9t^2$

$t^2=\frac{18.4}{4.9}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{18.4}{4.9}}$

$t=1.94 s$

$v=u+gt$

Using the formula

$v=0+9.8(1.94)=19 m/s$
