A girl and boy pull in opposite directions on a stuffed animal. The girl exerts a force of 3.5 N. The mass of the stuffed animal

is 0.2 kg, and it is accelerating to the right 2.5 m/s2.
What is the force that the boy is exerting? N

I'm gonna have to assume the girl is on the right side and boy on left.
The net force is the sum of all forces on an object (includes negatives).
Let's say the force of the boy is variable <em>b</em>. Use the formula F = ma.

<em>b </em>+ 3.5 = 0.2(2.5)

This is now simple algebra. Solve to get that <em />the boty is exerting a force of -3N to the left.

38. You are fishing and catch a fish with a mass of

adoni [48]

Answer:

1.7333333m/s²

Explanation:

Tension of the line = the weight + force from pulling up the fish

30N = mg + ma

30 = (6)(9.8) + (6)a

10.4 = 6a

∴ a = 1.7333333m/s²

On a snowy day, max (mass = 15 kg) pulls his little sister maya in a sled (combined mass = 20 kg) through the slippery snow. max

sesenic [268]

Work done by a given force is given by

$W = F.d$

here on sled two forces will do work

1. Applied force by Max

2. Frictional force due to ground

Now by force diagram of sled we can see the angle of force and displacement

work done by Max = $W_1 = Fdcos\theta$

$W_1 = 12*5cos15$

$W_1 = 57.96 J$

Now similarly work done by frictional force

$W_2 = Fdcos\theta$

$W_2 = 4*5cos180$

$W_2= -20 J$

Now total work done on sled

$W_{net}= W_1 + W2$

$W_{net} = 57.96 - 20 = 37.96 J$

A 300 g glass thermometer initially at 23 ◦C is put into 236 cm3 of hot water at 87 ◦C. Find the final temperature of the thermo

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

$74^{\circ} C$

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of glass, $m=300 g$

$T_1=23^{\circ}$

Volume, $V=236cm^3$

Mass of water= $density\times volume=1\times 236=236 g$

Density of water= $1g/cm^3$

Temperature of hot water, $T=87^{\circ}$

Specific heat of glass, $C_g=0.2cal/g^{\circ}C$

Specific heat of water, $C_w=1 cal/g^{\circ}C$

$Q_{glass}=m_gC_g(T_f-T_1)=300\times 0.2(T_f-23)$

$Q_{water}=m_wC_w(T_f-T)=236\times 1(T_f-87)$

$Q_{glass}+Q_{water}=0$

$300\times 0.2(T_f-23)+236\times 1(T_f-87)$

$60T_f-1380+236T_f-20532=0$

$296T_f=20532+1380=21912$

$T_f=\frac{21912}{296}=74^{\circ} C$

According to Newton’s first law of motion, what will an object in motion do when no external force acts on it?

KonstantinChe [14]

By definition, we have to:

Newton's first law states that any object will remain in a state of rest or with a uniform rectilinear motion unless an external force acts on it.

Therefore, according to the first law of Newton, if the object is already in motion and has no force acting on it then, it will remain with a uniform rectilinear motion.

Answer:

The object will remain with a uniform rectilinear movement when the external force does not act on it.
