What is the net force on a truck if the force of friction is 31 N and the force of the engine is 79 N?

Answer: C) 48 N forward

===================================================

Explanation:

Subtract the two forces, since they are working opposite one another.

79-31 = 48

The net force is 48 newtons forward. The truck is moving forward since the engine's force (79 N) is larger than the force of friction (31 N).

The force of friction cannot exceed the engine's force because friction only slows down an object, and does not push the object backward. In other words, if the object was stationary, then the ground isn't pushing the object backwards assuming you're on a level flat ground.

Answer:

83.67 m/s

Explanation:

Set up a calculation to convert units of measure to what you need.

You have km/s and you need m/s.

4.08km 1000 m 83.67m

----------- X ---------- = --------------- the km will cancel out and you are left

A car travel with a constant velocity of 20.5m/s for 20seconds what distance does it cover in this time ?

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

410 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20.5 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 20 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (20.5 m/s) (20 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (20 s)²

Δx = 410 m

A point charge q1q1 is held stationary at the origin. A second charge q2q2 is placed at point aa, and the electric potential ene

Yuri [45]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$U_{a} = 5.4 \times 10^{-8} J$

$W_{/text{a to b}} = -1.9 \times 10^{-8} J$

Electric potential energy ( $U_{b}$ ) = ?

Formula to calculate electric potential energy is as follows.

$U_{b} = U_{a} - W_{/text{a to b}}$

= $5.4 \times 10^{-8} J - (-1.9 \times 10^{-8} J)$

= $7.3 \times 10^{-8} J$

Thus, we can conclude that the electric potential energy of the pair of charges when the second charge is at point b is $7.3 \times 10^{-8} J$ .
