Less than or equal to the magnitude of the vector
Answer:
Only a backward force is acting, no forward force.
Explanation:
- Once released from the initial push, in absence of friction, the shopping cart would continue moving forward at a constant speed forever.
- As it would move at a constant speed, no net force would be acting on it.
- So, if it is gradually slowing, there must be a net force producing an acceleration in a direction opposite to the movement.
- This force is the kinetic friction force, and is the only force acting on the cart in the horizontal direction.
- As any friction force, opposes to the relative movement between the cart and the horizontal floor, which means that is directed backward.
- This is consistent with the direction of the acceleration of the cart.
Answer:
4.06 Hz
Explanation:
For simple harmonic motion, frequency is given by
where k is spring constant and m is the mass of the object.
Substituting 0.2 Kg for mass and 130 N/m for k then
