Answer:A. Keep pushing the box forward at a steady speed.

Explanation: Frictional force is a resistant force which oppose the Movement of an object, frictional force can emanate from a rough surface.

When an object that is moving with a consistent force is opposed by the roughness of the surface through which it is moving,it will cause the object to continue to move with a reduced speed as it goes along.

WHEN YOU APPLY A CONSTANT FORCE ON A MOVING OBJECT THAT IS OPPOSED BY A ROUGH SURFACE IT WILL RESULT IN AN AVERAGE MINIMAL FORCE BEING APPLIED TO THE OBJECT.

Answer:

The answer is "5.53 \ \frac{m}{s}"

Explanation:

apply the formula for calculating the average velocity to the relative air

V_{PG} =V_{PA}+V_{AG}

\Rightarrow  V_{PA} = V_{PG} -V_{AG}

Given value:

V_{AG} = -2 \ \frac{m}{s}

V_{PG} =3.53

\Rightarrow  V_{PA} = 3.53 - (-2) \\\\\Rightarrow  V_{PA} = 3.53 +2 \\\\\Rightarrow  V_{PA} = 5.53  \\\\

The final answer is "5.53 \ \frac{m}{s}" in the south-east direction.

A student is running to catch the campus shuttle bus, which is stopped at the bus stop. The student is runnign at a constant spe
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Part a)

t = 16.8 s

d = 100.8 m

Part b)

v_f = 2.86 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

Constant speed by which the student will run is given as

v = 5 m/s

now after some time if student is going to overtake the position of bus

so here the final positions will be same

so we have

x_{bus} = x_{student}

0 + \frac{1}{2}at^2 + d = v_{student} t

\frac{1}{2}(0.170)t^2 + 60 = 5 t

0.085 t^2 - 5t + 60 = 0

so it is

t = 16.8 s

So student will run the total distance

d = vt

d = (6)(16.8)

d = 100.8 m

Part b)

Speed of bus when student reach the bus is given as

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 0 + (0.170)(16.8)

v_f = 2.86 m/s

Iteru [2.4K]

Explanation:

Unclear question. The clear rendering reads;

"Into a U-tube containing mercury, pour on the other side sulfuric acid of density 1.84 and on the other side alcohol of density 0.8 so that the levels are in the same horizontal plane. The height of the acid above the mercury being 24 cm. What is the height of the bar and what variation of the level of the acid, when the mercury density is 13.6?
