Answer:

Displacement can be calculated by measuring the final distance away from a point, and then subtracting the initial distance. Displacement is key when determining velocity (which is also a vector). Velocity = displacement/time whereas speed is distance/time.

Answer:

We can use equations of motion

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at {}^{2}$

$v {}^{2} = {u}^{2} + 2as \:$

What is a tool that can be used to measure the size of a force

Travka [436]

The answer to this question would be: a spring scale.

The spring scale that you use to determine your body weight is actually a device that measures your body gravitational force. The force itself influenced by your body weight, that is why it can determine your body weight.
More weight means more force, more force will shrink the spring more.

A 65 N boy sits on a sled weighing 52 N on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is 0.

pogonyaev

Answer:

1.40 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the frictional force is given by:

$F=\mu N$

where

$\mu$ is the coefficient of friction

N is the magnitude of the normal reaction

The coefficient of friction for this problem is $\mu=0.012$ . The magnitude of the normal reaction is equal to the combined weight of the boy and the sled, because the surface is horizontal, so
