A 10 kg mass rests on a table. What acceleration will be generated when a force of 20 N is applied and encounters a frictional f

orce of 15 N?

Net force acting on mass = 20 - 15 = 5N. ( subtracted cuz friction always opposes the motion i.e it always acts in direction opposite to the motion of the object). According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, F(net) = ma. a =F (net) / m = 5/10 = 0.5 m/s^2. Hope it helps :)

What is the resultant of the vectors shown?
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Option A is the wrong answer because the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction.

Option C is the wrong answer as the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction and all the vectors are connected head to tail [of the arrows] [Triangle law of vector addition]

Option D is the wrong answer as the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction.

In a horse cart system when would there be the smallest amount of acceleration
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

well... when the horse stops/rests, or if it is blocked by a surface or anything of solid background.

Explanation:

If it is going up a hill or slope and it just starts to move that would also be considered the smallest amount of acceleration this can go for many things when it just starts to move. but I would go for when it rests amounting to your fitting of the question.

A book falls of the table and hits the floor. Is work done? Why?​
morpeh [17]

<u>Yes, work is done when a book falls of the table.</u>

This is because:

When the book falls, it's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.   As it reaches the floor down, this kinetic energy is converted to heat energy and sound energy due to the impact.

When a force is imposed on an object to cause displacement of that object, work is done on that object. For a force to do work on an object, there should be a displacement and this force should cause the displacement. So here, since the book falls from the table and causes the displacement of the book from the table to the floor. It is said that work is done.

Work can be given by the formula:

W = F • d

where F is the force and d is the displacement.

A factory worker pushes a 30.0-kg crate a distance of 4.5 m along a level floor at constant velocity by pushing horizontally on
Olin [163]
The crate moves at constant velocity, this means that its acceleration is zero, so the net force acting on the crate is zero (Newton's second law). 

There are only two forces acting on the crate: the force F applied by the worker and the frictional force, acting in the opposite direction: \mu m g, where \mu=0.25 is the coefficient of friction and m=30.0 kg is the mass of the crate. Since the net force should be equal to zero, the two forces must have same magnitude, so we have:
F=\mu m g=(0.25)(30.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=73.8 N
And so, this is the force that the worker must apply to the crate.
