Hi there!

For an object to have a constant velocity, the SUM of the forces must equal 0. This means that the forces are balanced.

When a car is accelerating downhill, it is experiencing a force due to gravity of F = MgsinФ.

In order to balance the forces, there must be an equal and OPPOSITE force acting on the object. This would be a force of kinetic friction.

Thus:

∑F = -F (Kinetic Friction) + MgsinФ

0 = -F (Kinetic Friction) + MgsinФ

MgsinФ = F (Kinetic Friction)

Thus, the force of Kinetic Friction = -3674 N

(Negative indicates in the opposite direction)

How often is water added to the Earth system?
rosijanka [135]
<span>Water is never added to earth system. Water forever remains in the water cycle on earth, so it goes from the ground, to the air, to the rain, to the sea, and round and round continuously. This cycle means that there does not need to be new water added to the earth, because it recycles any water that already exists of its own accord.</span>

Jack has two boxes. One is 148g and one is 78g. If jack pushes both boxes with the same amount of force, which will accelerate f
Step2247 [10]
The 78g box, since it has less weight, would accelerate faster. If you had a frictionless surface, and you conducted this experiment, both boxes, without any outside forces, would accelerate at the same rate forever. However, in this problem we must assume the surface is not frictionless. Friction is determined by weight; the more weight, the more friction. Since the 78g box has less weight, it has less friction, making it easier to push with less force.
