If the object is moving at a constant speed, acceleration is 0. So:

F = ma

F = m\times 0

F = 0

The resultant force is 0. So the force pushing the object must be equal to the friction force acting, so 

Friction = 90 N

On Earth, a brick has a mass of 10 kg and a weight of 5 lbs. What predictions could we make about the mass and weight of the bri
belka [17]

Answer:

Mass remains constant but weight reduces

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object so whether on moon or any other planet, it does not change despite the changes in acceleration.

Weight is a product of mass and acceleration due to gravity, expressed as W=mg where m is the mass, W is weight and g is acceleration. From the above formula, it is evident that when you decrease g, then W also decreases while m is constant. Similarly, when m is constant and g is increased then W also increases.

Therefore, for this case, since g decreases, the weight decreases but mass remains constant.

A 100-kg running back runs at 5 m/s into a stationary linebacker. It takes 0.5 s for the running back to be completely stopped.
Elza [17]

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

First, we need to find the deceleration of the running back, which is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 0 is his final velocity

u = 5 m/s is his initial velocity

t = 0.5 s is the time taken

Substituting, we have

a=\frac{0-5 m/s}{0.5 s}=-10 m/s^2

And now we can calculate the force exerted on the running back, by using Newton's second law:

F=ma=(100 kg)(-10 m/s^2)=-1000 N

so, the magnitude of the force is 1000 N.

A 57 g ice cube can slide without friction up and down a 33 ∘ slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring at the bottom of t
beks73 [17]
The springs stored energy is transferred to the cube as kinetic energy and then by the slop the KE is converted to height energy. 

<span>0.5 . k . x^2 = 0.5 . m . v^2 = m . g . ∆h </span>

<span>0.5 . 50 . (0.1^2) = 0.05 . 9.8 . ∆h </span>

<span>∆h = 0.51 m = 51 cm </span>

<span>This is the height gained </span>
<span>Distance along the slope = ∆h / sin 60 = 0.589 = 59 cm </span>

<span>In the second case, the stored spring energy is converted into height energy AND frictional heat energy. </span>

<span>The height energy is m . g . d sin 60 where d is the distance the cube moves along the slope. </span>

<span>The Frictional energy converted is F . d </span>

<span>F ( the frictional force ) = µ . N </span>

<span>N ( the reaction to the component of the gravity force perpendicular to the surface of the slope ) = m . g . cos60 </span>

<span>Total energy converted </span>

<span>0.5 . k . x^2 = (m . g . dsin60) + (µ . m . g . cos60 . d ) </span>

<span>Solve for d </span>

<span>d = 0.528 = 53 cm</span>
