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

Alika [10]

Answer:

265 J

Explanation:

Energy=PE+KE=mgh+ 0.5mv^{2} where KE is kinetic energy, PE is potential energy, m is the mass of an object, v is the speed, h is the height and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Substituting 19.7 Kg for mass, 0.934 for h, 2.93 for v and 9.81 for g then

Energy=19.7(9.81*0.934+0.5*2.93^{2})=265.063303\approx 265 J

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

124.88 km/h

34.69 m/s

Explanation:

1633.8 km = 1633800 m

13 hours 4 minutes 58 seconds = 13 + 4/60 + 58/3600 = 13.083 hours

13 hours 4 minutes 58 seconds = 13*3600 + 4*60 + 58 = 47098 seconds

So the average speed in km/h is

1633.8 / 13.083 = 124.88 km/h

The average speed in m/s is

1633800 / 47098 = 34.69 m/s

A hockey puck slides across the ice at a constant velocity. Is the sliding puck in equilibrium? Why or why not?
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Since the hockey puck is moving at constant velocity

So here we will have

F_{net} = ma

where we have

a = acceleration of the object

m = mass of object

so here since we know that acceleration is defined as rate of change in velocity

so here we will say that

a = \frac{dv}{dt}

a = 0

so we have

F_{net} = 0

so we will say that hockey puck is in equilibrium as there is no net force of it
