There are at least two forces on it, and there could be more.
Vertical forces:
-- gravity, directed downward
-- buoyant force, directed upward
These two forces must be exactly equal, so that the net
vertical force on the raft is zero. Otherwise, it would be
accelerating either up or down.
Horizontal forces:
We know that the net horizontal force on the raft is zero.
Otherwise, it would be accelerating horizontally.
But we don't know if there are actually no horizontal forces
at all, or a balanced group of horizontal forces, that add up
to a net force of zero.
Answer: They will NOT connect because like poles are facing each other, and like poles repel each other.
Answer:
V = 20.5 m/s
Explanation:
Given,
The mass of the cart, m = 6 Kg
The initial speed of the cart, u = 4 m/s
The acceleration of the cart, a = 0.5 m/s²
The time interval of the cart, t = 30 s
The final velocity of the cart is given by the first equation of motion
v = u + at
= 4 + (0.5 x 30)
= 19 m/s
Hence the final velocity of cart at 30 seconds is, v = 19 m/s
The speed of the cart at the end of 3 seconds
V = 19 + (0.5 x 3)
= 20.5 m/s
Hence, the final velocity of the cart at the end of this 3.0 second interval is, V = 20.5 m/s
