A man pushes his child in a grocery cart. The total mass of the cart and child is 30.0 kg. If the force resisting the carts moti

on is 15.0 N, how hard does the man have to push so that the cart accelerates at 1.50m/s/s.

The force applied by the man is 60 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's second law, which states that:

$\sum F = ma$ (1)

where

$\sum F$ is the net force acting on the child+cart

m is the mass of the child+cart system

a is their acceleration

In this problem, we have:

m = 30.0 kg is the mass

$a=1.50 m/s^2$

And there are two forces acting on the child+cart system:

The forward force of pushing, F
The force resisting the cart motion, R = 15.0 N

Therefore we can write the net force as

$\sum F = F -R$

where R is negative since its direction is opposite to the motion

So eq.(1) can be rewritten as

$F-R=ma$

And solving for F,

$F=ma+R=(30.0)(1.50)+15.0=60 N$

dezoksy [38]

Note: I'm not sure what do you mean by "weight 0.05 kg/L". I assume it means the mass per unit of length, so it should be "0.05 kg/m".

Solution:
The fundamental frequency in a standing wave is given by
$f= \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m/L} }$
where L is the length of the string, T the tension and m its mass. If we plug the data of the problem into the equation, we find
$f= \frac{1}{2 \cdot 24 m} \sqrt{ \frac{240 N}{0.05 kg/m} }=1.44 Hz$

The wavelength of the standing wave is instead twice the length of the string:
$\lambda=2 L= 2 \cdot 24 m=48 m$

So the speed of the wave is
$v=\lambda f = (48 m)(1.44 Hz)=69.1 m/s$

And the time the pulse takes to reach the shop is the distance covered divided by the speed:
$t= \frac{L}{v}= \frac{24 m}{69.1 m/s}=0.35 s$

Why can you see your own reflected image in a mirror but not on a dry, painted wall?

kaheart [24]

A wall uses diffuse reflection while a mirror uses specular reflection. For example, when parallel light rays enter a mirror, they remain parallel when exiting the mirror, allowing you to see a reflection of the light rays. On the contrary, when incident light rays enter a wall which is painted, the rays scatter, not allowing you to see anything but a painted wall.

For a solar eclipse to occur which of the following alignments must be necessary

katovenus [111]

Very specific alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. If the Moon is lined up precisely with the Sun from the Earth's point of view, the Moon will block Sunlight from reaching the Earth, causing a solar eclipse.

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The right solution will be the "2v".

Explanation:

For something like an object underneath pure rolling the speed at any point is calculated by:

⇒ $v_{rolling}=v_{translational}+v_{rotational}$

Although the angular velocity was indeed closely linked to either the transnational velocity throughout particular instance of pure rolling as:

⇒ $\omega=\frac{v_{translational}}{r}$

Significant meaning is obtained, as speeds are in the same direction. Therefore the speed of rotation becomes supplied by:

⇒ $v_{rotational}=\omega \times r$

On substituting the estimated values, we get

⇒ $=\frac{v_{translational}}{r} \times r$

⇒ $=v_{translational}$

So that the velocity will be:

⇒ $v_{rolling}=v+v$

⇒ $=2v$

using hooke's law, f spring = k triangle x, find the elastic constant of a spring that stretches 2 cm when a 4 newton force is a

Ksivusya [100]

As we know that spring force is given as

$F = kx$

here we know that

F = 4 N

x = 2 cm = 0.02 m

now from the above equation we will have

$4 = k(0.02)$

$k = 200 N/m$

so the elastic constant of the spring will be 200 N/m
