The force of the air resistance is 4 N.

The given parameters;

mass of the flower pot, m = 2 kg

weight of the flower pot, W = 20 N

Let the air resistance = F

Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the force of the air resistance acting upward to oppose the motion of the pot falling downwards.

$\Sigma F = ma\\\\W - F = ma\\\\a = \frac{W - F}{m} \\\\8 = \frac{20 - F}{2} \\\\20 - F = 16\\\\F = 20 - 16\\\\F = 4 \ N$

Thus, the force of the air resistance is 4 N.

I think least electricity is used between probably 7-8a.m. and 4-5p.m.

This is because, around those times, the suns already out. Depending on how sunny it is, it may not be as cold as all the other times of the day. And by then, buildings are typically already warmed all up. Everybody's body heat also may play a factor in buildings. ( if there is a ton of people )

Which statement(s) accurately describe the conditions immediately before and after the firecracker explodes:

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option C, The total momentum of the fragments is equal to the original momentum of the firecracker.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of cracker cannot remain constant before and after explosion. It is so because in the process of burning and bursting some amount of kinetic energy is lost in the form of light and heat energy. While the total mass before and after the explosion remains constant due to which the momentum is conserved before and after the explosion

Hence, option C is correct

A speeding car traveling at 24.8 m/s passes a police car that is at rest. The police car begins its pursuit at the instant the s

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

the acceleration required is 1.37m/s^2

Explanation:

The car is having a constant velocity movement, so if we calculate the time to reach 897m, we can use it to find the acceleration the policeman need to apply to reach the car.

$x=v*t\\t=\frac{x}{v}\\t=\frac{897m}{24.8m/s}\\t=36.17s$

the policeman is traveling with a constant acceleration starting from rest so:

$x=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\\\a=\frac{2*x}{t^2}\\\\a=1.37 m/s2$
