Only two horizontal forces act on a 3.0 kg body that can move over a frictionless floor. one force is 9.0 n, acting due east, an

The first thing you should do for this case is to find the horizontal and vertical components of the forces acting on the body.
 We have then:
 Horizontal = 9-9.2cos (58) = 4.124742769 N.
 Vertical = 9.2sin (58) = 7.802042485 N
 Then, the resulting net force is:
 F = √ ((4.124742769) ^ 2 + (7.802042485) ^ 2) = 8.825268826 N
 Then by definition:
 F = m * a
 Clearing the acceleration:
 a = F / m
 a = (8.825268826) / (3.0) = 2.941756275 m / s ^ 2
 answer:
 The magnitude of the body's acceleration is
 2.941756275 m / s ^ 2

The weight of an apple near the surface of the Earth is 1 N. What is the weight of the Earth in the gravitational field of the a
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

1 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's 3rd law and also Newton's gravitational law, the force that the Earth exert on the apple would be equal (and in opposite direction) with the force that the apple exert on the Earth, in this cast it's the gravitational field of the apple. So it's also 1N.

Why do heavier people have a lower blood and alcohol level?
Ulleksa [173]
In general, the less you weigh the more you will be affected by a given amount of alcohol. Alcohol has a high affinity for water. Basically, one's blood alcohol concentration is a function of the total amount of alcohol in one's system divided by total body water. So for two individuals with similar body compositions and different weights, the larger individual will achieve lower alcohol concentrations than the smaller one if ingesting the same amount of alcohol.
<span>However, for people of the same weight, a well-muscled individual will be less affected than someone with a higher percentage of fat since fatty tissue does not contain very much water and will not absorb very much alcohol.</span>

What energy transformation happening when starting a car
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

We're starting a car. We have the fuel in the engine, and when the engine starts, that fuel is converted into power to move the car. The fuel is made of chemicals, right? Propane, gasoline, so on. What kind of energy comes from chemicals? <em>Chemical energy</em>, right?

That fuel is <em>chemical energy</em>, and the energy to move the car must be <em>kinetic/mechanical</em> energy. However, that's not the <em>only</em> source of <em>mechanical energy</em>.

There's another source of <em>mechanical energy</em> here as well: we have an electric battery. What kind of energy is found in a battery? The battery has electricity, and so it has <em>electrical energy</em>. Some of that <em>electrical energy</em> turns into <em>mechanical energy</em> when the car starts up.

But the engine heats up as well, right? There's one more energy that the <em>electrical energy</em> and <em>chemical energy</em> produce here: <em>thermal energy</em>. That's the source of the heat.

I hope this makes sense for you. Have a wonderful day!

There are three identical train locomotives on separate tracks. Each applies equal force to begin moving. The first train consis
Luda [366]

Answer:

From lowest to highest acceleration:

3rd train

2nd train

1st train

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object can be found by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}

where

a is the acceleration

F is the net force on the object

m is the mass of the object

We notice that for equal values of the forces F, the acceleration a is inversely proportional to the mass, m. Therefore, greater mass means lower acceleration, and viceversa.

So, the train with lowest acceleration is the one with largest mass, i.e. the 3rd train consisting of 50 equally loaded freight cars. Then, the 2nd train has larger acceleration, since it consists of 50 empty freight cars (so its mass is smaller). Finally, the 1st train (a single empty car) is the one with largest acceleration, since it is the train with smallest mass.
