Answer:

18 N

Explanation:

Force can be found using the following formula.

f= m*a

where m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

We know the desk has a mass of 36 kilograms. We also know that its acceleration is 0.5 m/s^2.

m= 36 kg

a= 0.5 m/s^2

Substitute these values into the formula.

f= 36 kg * 0.5 m/s^2

Multiply 36 and 0.5

f=18 kg m/s^2

1 kg m/s^2 is equivalent to 1 Newton, or N.

f= 18 Newtons

The force being applied is 18 kg m/s^2, Newtons, or N

How long does it take an automobile traveling 66.7 km/h to become even with a car that is traveling in another lane at 52.7 km/h

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The time taken is $t = 32.5 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of first car is $v_1 = 66.7 \ km/h = 18.3 \ m/s$

The speed of second car is $v_2 = 52.7 \ km/h = 14.64 \ m/s$

The initial distance of separation is $d = 119 \ m$

The distance covered by first car is mathematically represented as

$d_t = d_i + d_f$

Here $d_i$ is the initial distance which is 0 m/s

and $d_f$ is the final distance covered which is evaluated as $d_f = v_1 * t$

$d_t = 0 \ m/s + (v_1 * t )$

$d_t = 0 \ m/s + (18.3 * t )$

The distance covered by second car is mathematically represented as

$d_t = d_i + d_f$

Here $d_i$ is the initial distance which is 119 m

and $d_f$ is the final distance covered which is evaluated as $d_f = v_2* t$

$d_t = 119 + 14.64 * t$

Given that the two car are now in the same position we have that

$119 + 14.64 * t = 0 + (18.3 * t )$

$t = 32.5 \ s$

All of the following processes are the ones that lead directly to the formation of sedimentary rock EXCEPT-

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

melting of rock deep underground.

Explanation:

The melting of rocks deep underground does not produce sedimentary rocks. Most igneous rocks are produced by this process.

When molten rocks underground called magma is solidified in the subsurface, it results into the formation of igneous bodies.

Sedimentary rocks forms by the accumulation of sediments.
Inside the basin where the sediments are deposited, they are compacted, cemented and lithified.
Chemical and physical weathering of rocks produces sediments.
