At baseball practice, Mason and Alfredo both picked up the same bat and neither would let go until one of them had it for himsel

f. Mason pulled the bat with
force of 15 newtons (N) while Alfredo pulled with a force of 20 newtons (N). Why did Alfredo end up with the bat?

A because the force was 5 N in Mason's direction

B. O because the net force was 5 N in Alfredo's direction

c. O because the net force was 15 N in Mason's direction

D.O because the net force was 20 N in Alfredo's direction

Answer:

Option B. O because the net force was 5 N in Alfredo's direction

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question given above, we shall determine the net force acting on the bat. This can be obtained as follow:

Force of pull by Mason (Fₘ) = 15 N

Force of pull by Alfredo (Fₐ) = 20 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = 20 – 15

Fₙ = 5 N in Alfredo's direction

From the calculation made above, we can see that the net force is 5N in Alfredo's direction. This is the reason why Alfredo end up having the bat.

On a Saturday afternoon, you decide to pay a neighborhood kid to mow your lawn. The kid usesa manual push lawn mower with a mass
Mars2501 [29]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

A.Mass,m=12 kg

\theta=53^{\circ}

\mu_k=0.16

Speed,v=1.5m/s

Net force in x direction must be zero

F_{net}=0

Fsin\theta-f=0

Fsin\theta=f

Net force in y direction

N-mg-Fcos\theta=0

N=mg+Fcos\theta

f=\mu_kN=\mu_k(mg+Fcos\theta)

Fsin\theta=\mu_k(mg+Fcos\theta)

Fsin\theta=\mu_kmg+\mu_kFcos\theta

Fsin\theta-\mu_kFcos\theta=\mu_kmg

F(sin\theta-\mu_kcos\theta)=\mu_kmg

F=\frac{\mu_kmg}{sin\theta-\mu_kcos\theta}

Power,P=Fv

P=\frac{\mu_kmg}{sin\theta-\mu_kcos\theta}v

Where g=9.8m/s^2

B.Substitute the values

P=\frac{0.16\times 12\times 9.8}{sin53-0.16cos53}\times 1.5

P=40.17W

What are the differences and relationships between speed, velocity, and acceleration
melamori03 [73]

Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both are vector quantities (and so also have a specified direction), but the units of velocity are meters per second while the units of acceleration are meters per second squared.

Two large thin metal plates are parallel and close to each other. On their inner faces, the plates have excess surface charge of
wariber [46]

Answer:

For left = 0  N/C

For right = 0  N/C

At middle = -7.6836 * 10^{-11} \vec{i}  N/C

Explanation:

Given data :-

б =6.8 * 10^{-22} C/ m²

Considering the two thin metal plates to be non conducting sheets of charges.

Electric field is given by

E = \frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon }

1) To the left of the plate

\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+  (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(\vec{i})   = 0 N/C.

2) To the right of them.

\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+  (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(\vec{i})   = 0 N/C.

3) Between them.

\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+  (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i}) = (\frac{\sigma }{\varepsilon })(-\vec{i}) = -\frac{6.8 * 10^{-22} }{8.85 * 10 ^{-12} }  \vec{i} =   -7.6836 * 10^{-11} \vec{i} N/C
