Two students were pushing a heavy sofa. One student pushed with a force of 200.0 N to the right, while the other pushed with a f

orce of 150.0 N to the right. The floor exerted a frictional force of 100.0 N. If the sofa's mass is 91.0 kg, what is its acceleration? Round your answer to three significant figures.

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma

a = F/m

a = (200.0 + 150.0 - 100.0) / 91.0

a = 250.0/91.0

a = 2.7472527...

a = 2.75 m/s²

State the Newton 2nd law of motion and also prove that F= ma<br>​
saw5 [17]

Explanation:

F = ma is the formula of Newton's Second Law of Motion. Newton's Second Law of Motion is defined as Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.

The electric motor of a model train accelerates the train from rest to 0.685 m/s in 21.5 ms. The total mass of the train is 875
Natali [406]

Answer:

P=9.58 W

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, and assuming friction force as zero:

F_m=m.a\\F_m=0.875kg*a

The acceleration is given by:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}\\a=\frac{0.685m/s}{21.5*10^{-3}s}\\\\a=31.9m/s^2

So the force exerted  by the motor is:

F_m=0.875kg*31.9m/s^2\\F_m=27.9N

The work done by the motor is given by:

W_m=F_m*d\\\\d=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\d=\frac{1}{2}*31.9m/s^2*(21.5*10^{-3}s)^2\\\\d=7.37*10^{-3}m

W_m=27.9N*7.37*10^{-3}m\\W_m=0.206J

And finally, the power is given by:

P=\frac{W_m}{t}\\P=\frac{0.206J}{21.5*10^{-3}s}\\\\P=9.58W

PLEASE HELP
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

h = 1.8 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the glove, u =- 6 m/s

We need to find the maximum height of the glove. Let it is equal to h. Using equation of kinematics. At the maximum height v = 0

v^2-u^2=2ah, h is the maximum height and a = -g

0^2-(6)^2=2\times (-10)\times h\\\\h=\dfrac{36}{20}\\\\h=1.8\ m

Hence, it will go up to a height of 1.8 m.

Suppose the sphere is electrically neutral. Is it attracted to
Elden [556K]

Answer:

No, it is not attracted.

Explanation:

If any sphere is electrically neutral it is not attracted. The materials which are attracted by magnet are called magnetic material whereas which are not attracted are called non magnetic material. Sphere made up of non magnetic materials such as glass, wood, paper will not attracted weather is kept near north pole or near south pole.

The distance from Abdullah's house to his school is 2.4km. Abdulla takes 0.6h to go to school on his cycle but takes only 0.4h t
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The average speed can be calculated as the quotient between the distance travelled and the time needed to travel that distance.

To go to the school, he travels 2.4 km in 0.6 hours, then here the average speed is:

s = (2.4km)/(0.6 hours) = 4 km/h

To return to his home, he travels 2.4km again, this time in only 0.4 hours, then here the average speed is:

s' = (2.4 km)/(0.4 hours) = 6 km/h.

Now, if we want the total average speed (of going and returning) we have that the total distance traveled is two times the distance between his home and school, and the total time is 0.6 hours plus 0.4 hours, then the average speed is:

S = (2*2.4 km)/(0.6 hours + 0.4 hours)

S = (4.8km)/(1 h) = 4.8 km/h
