Complete Question: A horse pulls a cart along a flat road. Consider the following four forces that arise in this situation. (1) the force of the horse pulling on the cart (2) the force of the cart pulling on the horse (3) the force of the horse pushing on the road (4) the force of the road pushing on the horse Suppose that the horse and cart have started from rest; and as time goes on, their speed increases in the same direction. Which one of the following conclusions is correct concerning the magnitudes of the forces mentioned above?

A) Force 1 exceeds force 2.

B) Force 2 is less than force 3.

C) Force 2 exceeds force 4.

D) Force 3 exceeds force 4.

E) Forces 1 and 2 cannot have equal magnitudes.

Answer: B) Force 2 is less than force 3.

Explanation: From the given four forces to be considered, Force 2 is less than Force 3 is correct option.

After evaluating the forces one by one. Force 3 and Force 4 are the same, both have equal magnitude.

And Force 3 is greater than Force 2, i.e., the force of the horse pushing on the road is much higher than the cart pulling the horse. Hence, more forces is required to pull the cart while on the road towards forward direction.

More so, the force of the road pushing on the horse is greater than the force of the cart pulling on the horse.

Explain, using the kinetic theory of matter, why liquids and solids are more denser than gases
AlekseyPX
Solid and liquids are much more denser than gas because their molecules are close to each other and with that the molecules of them can't move that freely unlike the gas molecules. Also, because of being near to each other the molecules of solid and liquids became heavy making them dense.

What is the average acceleration of a rocket that travels 400m in 5s if it starts from rest?​
Pavel [41]

Answer:

<h2>32m/s^2</h2>

Explanation:

We want to find the acceleration based on the given data

Given

distance s=400m

time t= 5s

u= 0m/s since it started from rest

We apply the following expression

s=ut+1/2at^2

substituting we have

400=0*5+1/2*a(5)^2

400=25a/2

cross multiply

25a=400*2

25a=800

divide both sides by 25 we have

a=800/25

a=32m/s^2

The acceleration is 32m/s^2
