Answer:
50 kg
Explanation:
Data:
Mass of bicycle = 10 kg
F = 168 N
a = 2.8 m/s²
Calculation:
F = ma Divide each side by m, Then
m = F/a
= 168/2.8
= 60 kg
m = mass of bicycle + Naoki's mass. Then
60 = 10 + Naoki's mass Subtract 10 from each side
Naoki's mass = 50 kg
Hence, concentration of base is 1.17 M
In terms of a deeper scientific reason, I am not sure, but the basic reason is quite simple. "Mud" tends to look like a mix between a solid, dirt, and a liquid, water or some other liquid. Since it is, in fact, a cross between a solid and a liquid, it has properties of both. It has certain physical and visual properties that only a solid would have, such as texture and opaqueness, but it also has physical properties of a liquid. Since it leans more towards the liquid side than the solid side, we say mud "flows" rather than saying that it "rolls" or "bounces".
