The hint is "constant speed".
If there is a net force on an object, what occurs to that object? F net = m*a.... It accelerates!
So, if the desk is going at a CONSTANT speed, what does that tell you about the acceleration? There is a change in speed.
Fnet = m*a Since a = 0 Fnet = 0
Fnet = sum of the force... reflect the direction of F as the positive direction. Sum of the forces in the direction of F = 0 0 = F - friction F = friction
So, if F = 800 N, then friction = 800 N in the opposite direction.
Answer:
F = 5.33*10^-4N
Explanation:
to find the electrostatic force you use the Coulomb's law, given by the formula:

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.89*10^9 Nm^2/C^2
q_a: charge of A = 2.0*10^{-6}C
q_B: charge of B = -3.0*10^{-6}C
r: distance between the spheres = 10.0m
By replacing all these values you obtain:

hence, the forcebetween the spheres is about 5.33*10^-4N
Answer:
i think it would be increased water retention
Answer: 30 N (in the direction of the 45 N force)
Explanation:
You have to choose a positive and negative direction since the question says the forces are in opposite directions.
Lets assume:
- <----------> +
<------ 15 N
45 ------->
45-15=30
