<span>9.50x10^2 newtons
A pascal is defined as 1 newton per square meter. So let's multiply the pressure by the surface area of the box lid.
F = 1.00x10^-2 m^2 * 9.50x10^4 N/m^2 = 9.50x10^2 N
So it will take 9.50x10^2 newtons of force to remove the lid from the box.</span>
A 'displacement' always consists of a magnitude and a direction. The two cars you just described have displacements with the same magnitude ... 5 km. But if they didn't both drive in the same direction, then their displacements are different.
Remember:
-- 10 m/s² up and 10 m/s² down are different accelerations
-- 30 mph East and 30 mph West are the same speed but different velocity.
-- 5 km North and 5 km South are the same distance but different displacement.
Answer:
-4.0 N
Explanation:
Since the force of friction is the only force acting on the box, according to Newton's second law its magnitude must be equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):
(1)
We can find the mass of the box from its weight: in fact, since the weight is W = 50.0 N, its mass will be

And we can fidn the acceleration by using the formula:

where
v = 0 is the final velocity
u = 1.75 m/s is the initial velocity
t = 2.25 s is the time the box needs to stop
Substituting, we find

(the acceleration is negative since it is opposite to the motion, so it is a deceleration)
Therefore, substituting into eq.(1) we find the force of friction:

Where the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion of the box.
