Answer:

Net force on the block is 32 N.

Acceleration of the object is 6.4 m/s².

Explanation:

Let the acceleration of the object be a m/s².

Given:

Mass of the block is, m=5\ kg

Force of pull is, F=40\ N

Frictional force on the block is, f=8\ N

The free body diagram of the object is shown below.

From the figure, the net force in the forward direction is given as:

F_{net}=F-f=40-8=32\ N

Now, from Newton's second law of motion, net force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration. So,

F_{net}=ma\\32=5a\\a=\frac{32}{5}=6.4\ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the object in the forward direction is 6.4 m/s².

A student pushes a 0.2 kg box against a spring causing the spring to compress 0.15 m. When the spring is released, it will launc
german

Answer:

The maximum height the box will reach is 1.72 m

Explanation:

F = k·x

Where

F = Force of the spring

k = The spring constant = 300 N/m

x  = Spring compression or stretch = 0.15 m

Therefore the force, F of the spring = 300 N/m×0.15 m = 45 N

Mass of box = 0.2 kg

Work, W, done by the spring = \frac{1}{2} kx^2 and the kinetic energy gained by the box is given by KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Since work done by the spring = kinetic energy gained by the box we have

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 =  \frac{1}{2} kx^2  therefore we have v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m} } = x\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } = 0.15\sqrt{\frac{300}{0.2} } = 5.81 m/s

Therefore the maximum height is given by

v² = 2·g·h or h = \frac{v^2}{2g} = \frac{5.81^{2} }{2*9.81} = 1.72 m

(1.08×10-3)(9.3×10-4)
ira [324]
First you do the first parenthesis, (1.08 x 10 - 3) and you do it in the order of operations! (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication/division, add/subtract) to get 7.8. Then you take the second parenthesis (9.3 x 10 - 4) and do the same thing to get 89! You then times 7.8 by 89 to get 694.2! If it needs more elaboration just ask ^.^
