A 6.2 kg block is pushed across a horizontal surface

Physics
1 answer:
sergey [27]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

6 m/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

  • The mass of the block as 6.2 kg
  • Horizontal force as 50.9 N
  • Frictional force as 13.7 N

We are required to determine the acceleration of the block.

  • According to second Newton's Law of motion; Resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in linear momentum.

Therefore;

F = Ma , where F is the resultant force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

In this case;

Resultant force, F = Horizontal force - friction force

                             = 50.9 N - 13.7 N

                             = 37.2 N

Thus;

37.2 N = 6.2 kg × a

Hence;

acceleration, a = 37.2 N ÷ 6.2 kg

                         = 6 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the block is 6 m/s²

A current of 2.0A flows through a light bulb. What is the amount of charge flowing through the light bulb in 40 seconds?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Quantity of charge = 80 Coulombs

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Current = 2 A

Time = 40 seconds

To find the amount of charge flowing through the light bulb;

Mathematically, the quantity of charge passing through a conductor is given by the formula;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Quantity of charge = 2 * 40

Quantity of charge = 80 Coulombs

What is the total number of pounds of carbon dioxide that 2 trees remove from the air each<br> year?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

On average, one acre of new forest can sequester about 2.5 tons of carbon annually. Young trees absorb CO2 at a rate of 13 pounds per tree each year. Trees reach their most productive stage of carbon storage at about 10 years at which point they are estimated to absorb 48 pounds of CO2 per year.
