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 :)

Heather and Matt take 34 minutes to walk eastward along a straight road to a store 2.0km away. What is their average velocity in
frez [133]

Their average velocity is 0.98 m/s east.

Explanation:

The average velocity of an object is defined as the ratio between the displacement and the time taken:

v=\frac{displacement}{time}

The displacement is a vector connecting the initial point to the final point of motion: so, being displacement a vector, velocity is a vector as well, having the same direction of displacement.

Here, Heather and Matt walk 2.0 km eastward, so their displacement is

d = 2.0 km = 2000 m (east)

While the time they took is

t=34 min \cdot 60 = 2040 s

Therefore, their average velocity is

v=\frac{2000}{2040}=0.98 m/s

And the direction is the same as the displacement (east).

. A 79 g sample of water at 21oC is heated until it becomes steam with a temperature of 143oC. Find the change in heat content o
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

40479.6 J

Explanation:

Applying,

q = cm(t₂-t₁).................... Equation 1

Where q = change in heat content of the system, c = specific heat capacity of the system, m = mass of the system, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature.

From the question,

Given: m = 79 g = 0.079 kg, t₁ = 21°C, t₂ = 143°C

Constant: c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substitute these values into equation 1

q = 4200(0.079)(143-21)

q = 331.8(122)

q = 40479.6 J

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!! Indicate the reasons why the centripetal acceleration (and centripetal force) always point to the center
maxonik [38]
Well we know the correct answer cannot be "a" bcause velocity is tangent to the circlular path of an object experienting centripical motion. Velocity DOES NOT point inward in centripical motion.

we know the correct answer cannot be "b" because "t" stands for "time" which cannot point in any direction. so, time cannot point toward the center of a circle and therefore this answer must be incorrect.

I would choose answer choice "c" because both force and centripical acceleration point toward the center of the circle.

I do not think answer choice "d" can be correct because the velocity of the mass moves tangent to the circle. velocity = (change in position) / time. Therefore, by definition the mass is moving in the direction of the velocity which does not point to the center of the circle.

does this make sense? any questions?
