Please help me with physics homework! Provide explanation.
1 answer:
The direction of friction force is always the opposite of the direction of the movement.
In this problem, we have an applied force of 20N and this creates a movement. Then, the friction comes in and applies a force of 2.4N.
Because they are in different directions, we need to subtract them:
We don't know the direction because there is no picture (at least I can't see ☺️). But the movement will be to the direction of the 20N.

The average speed of the whole travel is equal to <u>400 mph</u>.
Why?
From the statement, we know that whole travel is divided into three parts. For the first part (traveling from New York to Chicago), we have that it was 3.25 hours and the covered distance was half of the total distance (1400mi). For the second part, we have that it was 1 hour (layover time), and the covered no distance. For the third part (traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles), we have that it was 2.75 hours, and it took the other half of the total distance (1400mi).
We can calculate the average speed of the whol travel using the following formula:
Now, substituting and calculating, we have:
Hence, we have the average speed of the whole travel is equal to 400 mph.
