Answer:

yo they deleted my answer. The answer is 0N

Explanation:

so when two forces pull on an object from opposite sides with the same force (in this case its 20N), then the object is in equilibrium at 0N.

So its clear that there is one person on the the opposite side.

SOOO  generally<u>: (left or down) would be considered </u><u>negative</u><u> in an equation. And the other person  (right or up) would be considered </u><u>positive</u><u>.</u> So if both forces are the same numbers on opposite sides then the answer is 0 (if you add both of them).

<em>0 is the number of equilibrium.</em>

OK, so the equation would be -20N + 20N and then badda bing badda boom viola, the answer: 0N

thanks for coming to my TED talk. I hope they don't delete this answer.

If a flea can jump straight up to a height of 0.550 m , what is its initial speed as it leaves the ground?
olga55 [171]
Let u = upward initial speed of the flea.

At the maximum height of h = 0.550 m, the vertical velocity is v = 0.
Therefore, from the formula
 v² = u² - 2gh,
obtain
0 = u² - 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(0.55 m) 
u² = 10.78 m²/s²
 u = 3.283 m/s

Answer: The initial upward speed is 3.28 m/s (nearest thousandth)
