an ice skater applies a horizontal force to a 20.-kilogram block on frictionless, level ice, causing the block to accelerate uni

formly at 1.4 meters per second2 to the right. after the skater stops pushing the block, it slides onto a region of ice that is covered with a thin layer of sand. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the sand-covered ice is 0.28. calculate the magnitude of the force applied to the block by the skater. [show all work, including the equation and substitution with units.]

The only vertical forces are weight and normal force, and they balance since the surface is horizontal. The horizontal forces are the applied force (uppercase F) in the direction the block slides and the frictional force (lowercase f) in the opposite direction.

Apply Newton's 2nd Law in the horizontal direction:
ΣF = ma
F - f = ma
where f = µmg

F - µmg = ma
F = m(a +µg)
F = (20 kg)(1.4 m/s² + 0.28(9.8 m/s²)

F = 83 N

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity, a=4.61\times 10^{-14}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Pluto, m=1.4\times 10^{22}\ kg

Distance between Neptune and Pluto, r=4.5\times 10^{12}\ m

The force of gravity is balanced by the gravitational force between Neptune and Pluto. It is given by :

a=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

a=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.4\times 10^{22}}{(4.5\times 10^{12})^2}

a=4.61\times 10^{-14}\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration due to gravity at Neptune due to Pluto is 4.61\times 10^{-14}\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
