a 42.3 kg girl and a 7.93 kg sled are on the surface of a frozen lake, 15.0m apart and linked by a rope, but not moving yet. the

n the girl pulls on the rope, exerting a 5.76 N force on the sled, pulling it toward her. how far from the girl's original position do they meet?

Answer:

they meet from the girl's original position at: 2.37 (meters)

Explanation:

We need to use the Newton's law, exactly the second law that relate force, mass and acceleration as: F=m*a with this we can get both accelerations; solving for acceleration a=\frac{F}{m}. Now a_{girl}=\frac{5.76}{42.3}=0.14 (m/s^{2}) anda_{sled}=\frac{5.76}{7.93}=0.73(m/s^{2}). Then knowing that they both travel at the same time and assuming that the distance among the girl and the sled is: 15.0-x, so, x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{girl}*t^{2} and15.0-x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{sled}*t^{2}, solving for the time we get:t=\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl} } } and t=\sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} } } with this equations we solving for the x that is the distance between the girl and the sled after the apply the force and we get:\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl}}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} }. Finally we get:\frac{x}{a_{girl} }=\frac{(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} } and replacing the values we have got:\frac{x}{0.14} =\frac{(15.0-x)}{0.73} so 5.33*x=15-x so x=2.37 (meters).

amm1812

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2625 N</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 75 × 35

We have the final answer as

<h3>2625 N</h3>

Communities of organisms coexist in organized, balanced _____?
poizon [28]

Answer: C- ecosystem

An ecosystem is a biological community in which living beings interacts with their non-living environment. An ecosystem consists of abiotic ( non-living factors like water, sunlight, wind and soil) and biotic factors such as plants and animals. Ecosystem allows not only the interaction of abiotic and biotic factors but it favors the interaction between the living species. For example animals are dependent upon plants so as to derive their food. The coexistence of organisms favors the diversity of land forms on earth.

Communities of organisms coexist in organized, balanced ecosystems.

select the correct scientific notation form of this numeral 541 5 * 10^2 5.4 * 10^2 5.4 * 10^2 5.0 * 10^2
USPshnik [31]
To find the scientific notation, you need to divide at the decimal by the power of 10. So since there are 2 powers of 10, what you want to do is move the decimal 2 places to the left which will give you: .054
