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.

The electric motor of a model train accelerates the train from rest to 0.685 m/s in 21.5 ms. The total mass of the train is 875

Natali [406]

Answer:

P=9.58 W

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, and assuming friction force as zero:

$F_m=m.a\\F_m=0.875kg*a$

The acceleration is given by:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}\\a=\frac{0.685m/s}{21.5*10^{-3}s}\\\\a=31.9m/s^2$

So the force exerted by the motor is:

$F_m=0.875kg*31.9m/s^2\\F_m=27.9N$

The work done by the motor is given by:

$W_m=F_m*d\\\\d=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\d=\frac{1}{2}*31.9m/s^2*(21.5*10^{-3}s)^2\\\\d=7.37*10^{-3}m$

$W_m=27.9N*7.37*10^{-3}m\\W_m=0.206J$

And finally, the power is given by:

$P=\frac{W_m}{t}\\P=\frac{0.206J}{21.5*10^{-3}s}\\\\P=9.58W$

Aliun [14]

Answer:570.54 N

Explanation:

Given

mass of man=76 kg

$\theta =50^{\circ}$

As man is standing over inclined building therefore

its weight has two components i.e. sin and cos component

Force perpendicular to inclined wall

$F=mgcos\theta =76\times 9.8\times \sin 50$

F=570.54 N

Can anyone tell me what's the base quantities for Force, Pressure and Charge?

mr Goodwill [35]

Force, pressure, and charge are all what are called derived units. They come from algebraic combinations of base units, measures of things like length, time, temperature, mass, and current. Speed, for instance, is a derived unit, since it's a combination of length and time in the form [speed] = [length] / [time] (miles per hour, meters per second, etc.)

Force is defined with Newton's equation F = ma, where m is an object's mass and a is its acceleration. It's unit is kg·m/s², which scientists have called a Newton. (Example: They used 9 Newtons of force)

Pressure is force applied over an area, defined by the equation P = F/A. We can derive its from Newtons to get a unit of N/m², a unit scientists call the Pascal. (Example: Applying 100 Pascals of pressure)

Finally, charge is given by the equation Q = It, where I is the current flowing through an object and t is how long that current flows through. It has a unit of A·s (ampere-seconds), but scientist call this unit a Coulomb. (Example: 20 Coulombs of charge)
