Answer:

a = 5.33 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of the forces acting on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

F = force = 400 [N]

m = mass = 75 [kg]

a = F/m

a = 400/75

a = 5.33 [m/s²]

Evaporation is the physical change in which a substance converts from its <u>liquid</u> state to its <u>gaseous</u> state. Condensation is the physical change in which a substance converts from its <u>gaseous</u> state to its <u>liquid</u> state.

Explanation:

Evaporation and condensation are opposite processes to each other. Evaporation changes a liquid to a gas and condensation is the reverse.

When you apply a horizontal force of 76 N to a block, the block moves across the floor at a constant speed ().When you apply a f
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

When we apply a horizontal force of 76 N to a block, the block moves across the floor at a constant speed. So net force on the block is zero .

It implies that a force ( frictional ) acts on it which is equal to 76 N in opposite direction ( friction )

When we apply  a greater force on it it starts moving with acceleration .

This time kinetic friction acts on it due to rough ground equal to 76 N .This is limiting friction ( maximum friction )

Net force on the body in later case

= 89 - 76

= 13 N

Force by ground on the block in horizontal direction = 76 N ( FRICTIONAL FORCE )

=
