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

A balloon contains helium with a mass of 0.00296 g. What is the volume of helium in the balloon? (Note: Helium’s density is 0.00
Over [174]

Answer:

178 cm3

Explanation:

From definition of density, it is mass per unit volume of an object, expressed as density=mass/volume and making volume the subject of the above formula we have volume= mass/density and substituting 0.00296 g for mass and 0.00001663 g/cm3 for density then we have

Volume=0.00296/0.00001663

Volume is approximately 178 cm3

How much work is done when you push a crate horizontally with 150 N across a 13-m floor
Mila [183]
Work = (force) x (distance)

When a force of 150 N pushes through a distance of 13 meters,
it does

             Work = (150 N) x (13 m) = 1,950 joules .

Which of the following statements about language is true?
ohaa [14]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Language is defined as a medium through which a person can deliver its thoughts, ideas, or perceptions to one or more individuals.

For example, Leslie is feeling sad and that is why she is crying. Therefore, listening a cry sound her friend sitting in the next room came immediately to console her.

Hence, sound of crying is also a sign of language that tells Leslie is sad about something.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement languages use spoken sounds, written words, and signs to represent ideas and events, is true about language.
