Answer:

<em>The magnitude of the force exerted by the person is 100 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force</u>

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

Fn = ma

Where a is the acceleration of the object.

The net force is the sum of all forces exerted over a body. When an object is moved along a rough surface it experiences two horizontal forces and two vertical forces (provided there is no vertical component of the applied force).

The vertical forces are the Normal and the Weight and they are balanced, i.e.: N = W = mg.

The horizontal forces are The applied force (Fa) and the friction force (Fr). They are not balanced because the object is accelerated in that direction. The net force is:

Fn = Fa - Fr

Applying the first equation:

Fa - Fr = ma

Solving for Fa:

Fa = Fr + ma

Substituting the given values m=5 kg, Fr=10 N, a=18\ m/s^2.

Fa = 10 + 5*18 = 10 + 90 = 100

Fa = 100 N

The magnitude of the force exerted by the person is 100 N

OLga [1]

Answer: 2.83 J/mol

Explanation:

Heat of solution, sometimes interchangeably called enthalpy of solution, is said to be the energy released or absorbed when the solute dissolves in the solvent. A solute is that which can dissolve in a solvent, to form a solution

Given

No of moles of CaCl = 7.5 mol

Total energy used = 21.2 J

Heat of solution = q/n where

q = total energy

n = number of moles

Heat of solution = 21.2 / 7.5

Heat of solution = 2.83 J/mol

xxMikexx [17]
You are given a fixed rate of 15.9 cm³/s. You are also given with the amount of volume in 237 cm³. Through the approach of dimensional analysis, you can manipulate through operations such that the end result of the units must be in seconds. The solution is as follows:

237 cm³ * (1 s/15.9 cm³) = 14.9 seconds
