Newton's first law is sometimes known as the law of inertia. It is the law that states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts upon it. For example, if I was working with a wrench in space an it slipped, it would keep on going in one direction with a constant speed unless it hits something. Hope this helps!
Mass of yellow train, my = 100 kg
Initial Velocity of yellow train, = 8 m/s
mass of orange train = 200 kg
Initial Velocity of orange train = -1 m/s (since it moves opposite direction to the yellow train, we will put negative to show the opposite direction)
To calculate the initial momentum of both trains, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum which
The sum of initial momentum = the sum of final momentum
Since the question only wants the sum of initial momentum,
(100)(8) + (200)(-1) = 600 m/s
Answer:
There are 12 oxygen atoms in 8C12O.
The frictional force of an object is the product of the normal force and coefficient of kinetic friction. Here the frictional force acting on the object is 16.4 N.
<h3>What is frictional force?</h3>
Frictional force is a kind of force acting on a body to resist it from motion. Thus, the direction of the force will be in negative with the magnitude. Frictional force is the product of coefficient of friction and the normal force.
The normal force acting on the object of mass 4.2 Kg is N = mg
N = 4.2 Kg × 9.8 m/s² = 41.16 N
Frictional force = ц N
= 0.40 × 41.16 N
= 16.4 N.
Therefore, the frictional force acting between the surface of the object and the floor is 16.4 N

Your question is incomplete. But your complete question probably was:
The coefficient of kinetic friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 0.40 the weight of the object is 4.2 kg. What is the frictional force of the object?
