Use the information from the graph to answer the question. What is the acceleration of the object
1 answer:
Answer:
-2.5 m/s²
Explanation:
The acceleration of a body is the change in it's velocity with time.
The change in velocity with time can be obtained as the slope of a velocity time graph ;
Acceleration = (change in velocity / change in time)
Taking the slope :
Change in Velocity = △y = y2 - y1
Change in time = △x = x2 - x1
(10, 15) ; (0, 40)
△y / △x = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 = (40 - 15) / (0 - 10)
△y / △x = 25 / - 10 = - 2.5 m/s²

Answer:
F = 69.5 [N]
Explanation:
We must remember that the friction force is defined as the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction, and it can be calculated by the following expression.
where:
N = normal force [N]
miu = friction coefficient
f = friction force = 22 [N]
Now we must calculate the force exerted by means of Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
where:
F = force exerted [N]
f = friction force [N]
m = mass = 95 [kg]
a = acceleration = 0.5 [m/s²]
Now replacing:
