4 0

Explanation:

The net force along the horizontal direction is

\sum{F_x} = F_{applied} - f

where f is the frictional force. We can find the frictional force by looking at the vertical forces acting on the couch:

\sum{F_y} = N - mg = 0 \Rightarrow N = mg

From the definition of frictional force,

f = \mu{N} = \mu{mg} = (0.65)(42\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)

\:\:\:\:= 267.5\:\text{N}

Therefore, the net force on the couch is

\sum{F_x} = 600\:\text{N} - 267.5\:\text{kN} = 332.5\:\text{N}

When the spacecraft is at the halfway point, how does the strength of the gravitional force on the spaceprobe by Earth compre wi
mixer [17]

Solution :

When the spacecraft is at halfway point, the distance from the Earth as well as Mars are same. We have to account the masses of the planets. The gravitational force that is exerted by the Earth is greater because of its combined mass with the space probe.

The mass of Earth is greater than the mass of Mars. Therefore, the force of Earth is more than Mars.

Zamir and Talia raced through a maze. Zamir walked 2 m north, 2 m east, 4 m south, 2 m east, 4 m north, 2 m east, 3 m south, 4 m
Alja [10]

Answer : Zamir's displacement and Talia's displacement is equal.

Explanation :

Displacement is explained to be the changing position of an object.

Zamir covers total distance 27 m and Talia covers total distance 19 m but  Zamir's initial and final position and Talia's initial and final position is same.

So, we can say that Zamir's displacement and Talia's displacement is equal.
