<h2>Answer:</h2>
(a) 10N
<h2>Explanation:</h2>The sketch of the two cases has been attached to this response.
<em>Case 1: The box is pushed by a horizontal force F making it to move with constant velocity.</em>
In this case, a frictional force is opposing the movement of the box. As shown in the diagram, it can be deduced from Newton's law of motion that;
∑F = ma -------------------(i)
Where;
∑F = effective force acting on the object (box)
m = mass of the object
a = acceleration of the object
∑F = F -
m = 50kg
a = 0 [At constant velocity, acceleration is zero]
<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>
F - = m x a
F - = 50 x 0
F - = 0
F = -------------------(ii)
<em>Case 2: The box is pushed by a horizontal force 1.5F making it to move with a constant velocity of 0.1m/s²</em>
In this case, the same frictional force is opposing the movement of the box.
∑F = 1.5F -
m = 50kg
a = 0.1m/s²
<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>
1.5F - = m x a
1.5F - = 50 x 0.1
1.5F - = 5 ---------------------(iii)
<em>Substitute </em><em> = F from equation (ii) into equation (iii) as follows;</em>
1.5F - F = 5
0.5F = 5
F = 5 / 0.5
F = 10N
Therefore, the value of F is 10N

1.3 second of time will be required for reflected sunlight to travel from the Moon to Earth if the distance between Earth and the Moon is 3.85 × 105 km
<h3>What is Speed ?</h3>Speed is the distance travelled per time taken. It is a scalar quantity. And the S.I unit is meter per second. That is, m/s
In the given question, we want to find how much time is required for reflected sunlight to travel from the Moon to Earth if the distance between Earth and the Moon is 3.85 × 10^5 km.
What are the parameters to consider ?
The parameters are;
- The distance S = 3.85 ×
km
- The Speed of Light C = 3 ×
m/s
- The time taken t = ?
Speed = distance S ÷ Time t
Convert kilometer to meter by multiplying it by 1000
C = S/t
3 × = 3.85 ×
/ t
Make t the subject of formula
t = 3.85 × / 3 ×
t = 1.2833
t = 1.3 s
Therefore, 1.3 second of time will be required for reflected sunlight to travel from the Moon to Earth if the distance between Earth and the Moon is 3.85 × 105 km
