A 20 kg wagon is rolling to the right across a floor. A person attempts to catch and stop the crate and applies a force of 70 N,

180.0 on it. If the coefficient of friction is 0.18, calculate the deceleration rate of the wagon as it is caught.

Answer:

1.736m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law;

\sum F_x = ma_x\\

Fm - Ff = ma_x\\ where;

Fm is the moving force = 70.0N

Ff is the frictional force acting on the body

Ff = \mu R\\Ff = \mu mg\\

\mu is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

a is the acceleration/deceleration

The equation becomes;

Fm - Ff = ma_x\\Fm - \mu mg = ma\\

Substitute the given parameters

Fm - \mu mg = ma\\70 - 0.18(20)(9.8) = 20a\\70-35.28 = 20a\\34.72 = 20a\\a = \frac{34.72}{20}\\a =  1.736m/s^2\\

Hence the deceleration rate of the wagon as it is caught is 1.736m/s²

As the distance between two charged particles increases, the force of attraction __________(increases/decreases). This is a(n) _
zubka84 [21]

Answer: decreases.

direct.

Explanation:

when you have two objects which are far apart from each other,  when the distance increases the forces of attraction decreases and vice versa when the distance decreases the forces of attraction also increases.

this is a direct relationship, from careful observation and monitoring of the simulation, a pattern is noticeable by which an increase in one variable causes an opposite effect on the other variable.

When a car traveling at 30 m/s hits the gas pedal, it speeds up to 65 m/s in 3.5 seconds. What is the car's
Dafna11 [192]

The car gets accelerated to 10 m/s² to reach the final velocity of 65 m/s from 30 m/s in 3.5 seconds.

Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the ratio of change in velocity to the time taken to reach the final velocity. As here the initial velocity of car is given as 30 m/s and the final velocity is given as 65 m/s. So to reach this final velocity the car is taking a time of 3.5 seconds.

Thus, acceleration = change in velocity/Time

Acceleration = (65-30)/3.5 = 10 m/s²

So the car gets accelerated to 10 m/s² to reach the final velocity of 65 m/s from 30 m/s in 3.5 seconds.

In the product 6, what does the coefficient mean?
Kryger [21]

Answer: Explanation:

A number used to multiply a variable. Example: 6z means 6 times z, and "z" is a variable, so 6 is a coefficient. ... Example: In ax^2 + bx + c, "x" is a variable, and "a" and "b" are coefficients.
