Answer:
300 cos 30 = 40 a + 40 * .2 * 10
Total force = mass * acceleration + frictional force
260 = 40 a + 80
a = 180 / 40 = 4.5 m/s^2
Check:
15 a + 15 * 10 * .2 = T acceleration of 15 kg block (assuming a = 4.5)
T = 15 (4.5) + 30 = 97.5 force required to accelerate 15 kg block
260 - 97.5 = 162.5 net force on 25 kg block
162.5 = 4.5 (25) + 25 * 10 * .2
162.5 = 112.5 + 50 = 162.5
4.5 m/s^2 checks out as correct
If something is traveling at 20 m/s constant speed AND its direction isn't changing, then its velocity is constant. Another way to say that is: Its acceleration is zero. Zero acceleration means zero NET force acting on the object, or a group of BALANCED forces acting on it, also called EQUILIBRIUM. The required answer is: YES.
If a real projectile is launched, the force of gravity acts on it vertically downward. There's no upward force acting on it to balance gravity. Therefore, the forces on the projectile are NOT balanced, there IS a net vertical force on it, and it's NOT in equilibrium. Too bad.
Deposition is geological process of sediments, soil and rocks that are added to land-form or land mass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited. Technically Building up layers of sediment.
hope this helps
