Answer:

<em>1.07m/s²</em>

Explanation:

From the question we are given the following

applied force Fapp = 450N

mass of the safe m = 100kg

Weight of the safe W = 980N

coefficient of kinetic friction n = 0.35

Required

Acceleration of the safe

According to Newton's second law

\sum Fx = ma

Fapp - Ff = ma

Ff is the frictional force

Fapp - nmg = ma

450 - 0.35(100)(9.8) = 100a

450 - 343= 100a

107 = 100a

a = 107/100

a = 1.07m/s²

<em>Hence the acceleration of the safe is 1.07m/s²</em>

How do the positions of the sun and moon affect what people do?
Verdich [7]

-- The position of the sun was originally the primary influence in determining
when people went to sleep and when they woke up.  Although it no longer
directly influences us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in our make-up
that our behavior still largely coincides with the positions of the sun.

-- The position of the Moon was originally the primary influence in determining
the cycle of human female physiology.  Although it no longer directly influences
us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in human make-up that the female cycle
still largely coincides with the positions of the Moon.

A scientist heats flexible container full of neon gas .what will most likely happen to the container as the gas absorbs heat
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
As the container starts to heat up, so will the neon gas. Heat is nothing but energy, and when you add energy to a gas, it will start vibrating much faster and hit the edges of the container at a higher rate and a faster velocity. Therefore, it's possible to deduce that the container will most likely rupture and/or "explode".

A 13kg box slides 4.0m down the frictionless ramp shown in the figure , then collides with a spring whose spring constant is 170
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The force on the box is:
F = mgsin∅
If we multiply by this with the distance it traveled, we will know the work done by the box. 
W = dmgsin∅

This work will be converted to elastic potential energy in the spring which is:
1/2 kx². Equating these and substituting values:
1/2 * 170 * x² = 4 * 13 * 9.81 * sin(30)
x = 1.73 m

The box's maximum speed will at the point right before contact with the spring, when the compression is 0.
