Answer:

a = 5.5 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the force is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF =m*a

where:

F = Force [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 20 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Let's take the force of 230 [N] as positive, in this way the other force will be negative, by pointing in the opposite direction.

230 - 120 = 20*a\\110 = 20*a\\a=5.5 [m/s^{2} ]

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Gravitational force

Explanation:

If two spheres have equal densities and they are subject only to their mutual gravitational attraction. We need to say that the quantities that must have the same magnitude for both spheres. So, the correct option is (E) i.e. gravitational force.

It is because of Newton's third law of motion. It states that the force due to object 1 to object 2 is same as force due to object 2 to object 1. The two forces act in opposite direction.  

Hence, the correct option is (E) "Gravitational force".

find the time taken, if the speed of a train increased from 72 km/hr to 90 km/hr for 234 km. leave your answer in seconds
Airida [17]

Answer:

Time taken = 10400 s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the train, u=72\textrm{ km/h}=72\times \frac{5}{18}=20\textrm{ m/s}

Final speed of the train, v=90\textrm{ km/h}=90\times \frac{5}{18}=25\textrm{ m/s}

Displacement of the train, S=234\textrm{ km}=234\times 1000=234000\textrm{ m}

Using Newton's equation of motion,

v - u = at\\a=\frac{v-u}{t}

Now, using Newton's equation of motion for displacement,

v^{2}-u^{2}=2aS

Now, plug in the value of a=\frac{v-u}{t} in the above equation. This gives,

v^{2}-u^{2}=2\times \frac{v-u}{t}\times S\\(v+u)(v-u)=\frac{2(v-u)S}{t}\\t=\frac{2(v-u)S}{(v+u)(v-u)}\\t=\frac{2S}{v+u}

Now, plug in 234000 m for S, 25 m/s for v and 20 m/s for u. Solve for t.

t=\frac{2S}{v+u}\\t=\frac{2\times 234000}{25+20}\\t=\frac{468000}{45}=10400\textrm{ s}

Therefore, the time taken by the train is 10400 s.

Based on what you have read provide two positives and two negatives the Suarez family would face if they switch to organic farmi
arlik [135]

Hi, you did not enter the text about the Suarez family, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, from the context of your question, it is possible to see that you want to know two positive and negative points that the Suarez family would observe when starting a planting of organic agriculture.

Among the negative points, we can say that organic agriculture has a high cost, as the techniques used in it require a greater number of resources, which can make not only the service more expensive, but also the product. A second negative point is that the techniques used in organic agriculture are more difficult than the techniques used in conventional agriculture, since all management of organic crops must be carried out without the application of chemical products.

Among the positive points, we can say that the growing number of consumers of organic products can increase the profit that the family will have from the sale of these products. In addition, the family will have healthier, less polluted and more productive land.
