Answer:

a. The net force acting on the wagon is zero

b. The value of the force of friction is 25 N

c. The effect would be is the frictional force must be increase

Explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

A horizontal force of 25 N is required to push a wagon across a sidewalk

at a constant speed

→ Constant speed means acceleration is zero

→ Force = mass × acceleration

→ Force = mass × 0

→ Force = 0

The net force acting on the wagon is zero

The wagon moves with constant speed, then

→ ∑ force = 0

There are two forces acting on the wagon external force of 25 N,

and the frictional force which is opposite to the direction of motion

→ 25 - Frictional force = 0

→ Frictional force = 25 N

The value of the force of friction is 25 N

The force increased to 30 N

If the wagon still moves with constant speed

Due to Newton's law ∑ force in the direction of motion = mass ×

acceleration, but acceleration is 0 because the wagon moves with

constant speed, then ∑ F = 0

So the frictional force must increase to 30 N

The effect would be is the frictional force must be increase

If the frictional force does not increase the wagon will accelerate

A 8.01 nC charge is located 1.90 m from a 3.86 nC point charge. (a) Find the magnitude of the electrostatic force that one charg

professor190 [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, $q_1=8.01\ nC=8.01\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Charge 2, $q_2=3.86\ nC=3.86\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Distance between charges, d = 1.9 m

We need to find the electrostatic force that one charge exerts on the other. It is given by :

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

$F=9\times10^9\times\dfrac{8.01\times 10^{-9}\times 3.86\times 10^{-9}}{(1.9)^2}$

$F=7.70\times 10^{-8}\ N$

So, the magnitude of electric force that one charge exerts on the other charge is $7.70\times 10^{-8}\ N$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

2. Stars normally convert hydrogen into helium through nuclear fusion. That requires incredibly hot temperatures and high pressu

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

About 4,000 K and 10⁻¹⁷ atm

Explanation:

The Big Bang theory states that the Big Bang which is the origin of the universe was about 13.75 billion years ago, and the temperature a few seconds later was 10³²K

The first element began forming at about 3 minutes after the Big Bang with a temperature of 10⁹ K, the nuclei of simple elements

The nuclei of hydrogen and helium began combine with electrons at a temperature of 3,000 K to 4,000 K to form the first neutral atoms. The pressure of the universe at that stage was 10⁻¹⁷ atmospheres

5 examples of how intertia is used in real life

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

- your body moving forwards when sudden brakes/force is applied e.g. sudden braking in a car

- feeling a backwards force when something moves quickly from rest e.g a bus

- when you stir a cup of tea, it continues to swirl for a short period of time even though you have stopped

- when shaking a tree, it's leaves or fruit fall down

- satellites which move due to the inertia of motion

hope this helped :)
