Answer: The correct answer is Image B.

Explanation: For an object to accelerate, there should be unbalanced forces present. An object will move in the direction of net force.

Balanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction. The net forces are 0.

Unbalanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are unequal in magnitude. The net force is non-zero.

For the given images:

Image A: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Image B: This box will not accelerate because the net force is zero as all the forces are balancing one another. Hence, the object will stay at rest.

Image C: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and  is acting in between the normal and applied force.

Image D: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Hence, the correct option is Image B.

A 1500 kg car skids to a halt on a wet road where μk = 0.47. You may want to review (Pages 141 - 145) . Part A How fast was the
shusha [124]

The car travels at a speed of 25m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 1500kg

Coefficient of friction, μk = 0.47

Distance, x = 68m

Speed, s = ?

We know,

Force, F = ma

and

F = μ X m X g

Therefore,

μ * m * g = m * a

μ * g = a

Let, g = 9.8m/s²

So,

a = 0.47 * 9.8 m/s^2

a = 4.606m/s^2

We know,

v^2 - u^2 = 2as

where, v is the final velocity

           u is the initial velocity

           a is the acceleration

           s is the distance

If the car comes to rest, the final velocity, v becomes 0.

So,

u^2 = 2 * 4.606 * 68\\\\u^2 = 626.416m/s\\\\u = 25m/s

The car travels at a speed of 25m/s.

Fiona claims that the diagram below shows simple machines, but Chad claims that it shows a compound machine.
Elza [17]

Answer:

Simple machine

Explanation:

It is a simple machine because the person wants to raise the load by an inclined plane. Simple machines perform work with the mechanical advantage offered by the machine itself, such as using a bar as Lever, lifting a load by means of a pulley. simple machines multiply or change direction a force. While Composite machines are the Union of several simple machines that perform a given job, examples of combined machines are found on bicycles, a washing machine, a car, and others.
