Answer:

$a=16\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Motion With Constant Acceleration

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.

The formula to calculate the change of velocities is:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Where:

a = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf = final speed

t = time

The roller coaster moves from vo=6 m/s to vf=70 m/s in t=4 seconds. To calculate the acceleration, solve for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{70-6}{4}=\frac{64}{4}$

$\boxed{a=16\ m/s^2}$

We have that for the Question "A 2kg book is held against a vertical wall. The coefficient of friction is 0.45. What is the minimum force that must be applied on the book, perpendicular to the wall, to prevent the book from slipping down the wal" it can be said that the minimum force that must be applied on the book is

F=44N

From the question we are told

A 2kg book is held against a vertical wall. The coefficient of friction is 0.45. What is the minimum force that must be applied on the book, perpendicular to the wall, to prevent the book from slipping down the wal

Generally the equation for the Force is mathematically given as

$F=\frac{mg}{\mu}\\\\F=\frac{2*9.8}{0.45}\\\\$
