A tow truck exerts a net horizontal force of 1050 N on a 760-kg car. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
F=ma
where
F is the net force applied to the object
m is the object's mass
a is the acceleration of the object

In this problem, the force applied to the car is F=1050 N, while the mass of the car is m=760 kg. Therefore, we can rearrange the equation and put these numbers in, in order to find the acceleration of the car:
a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1050 N}{760 kg}=1.4 m/s^2

The equation also tells us that the acceleration and the force have same directions: therefore, since the force exerted on the car is horizontal, the correct answer is
<span>B) 1.4 m/s2 horizontally.</span>

Static electricity travels to the door knob because of the friction caused by the feet on the carpet. the friction traveled through the person, to their hand, and to the door knob because it is the best conductor.

two cars are moving at constant speeds in a straight line along a major highway. The first is travelling at 20ms^-1 and the seco
Reika [66]

Answer:

t=750s

Explanation:

The two cars are under an uniform linear motion. So, the distance traveled by them is given by:

\Delta x=vt\\x_f-x_0=vt\\x_f=x_0+vt

x_f is the same for both cars when the second one catches up with the first. If we take as reference point the initial position of the second car, we have:

x_0_1=6km\\x_0_2=0

We have x_f_1=x_f_2. Thus, solving for t:

x_0_1+v_1t=x_0_2+v_2t\\x_0_1=t(v_2-v_1)\\t=\frac{x_0_1}{v_2-v_1}\\t=\frac{6*10^3m}{28\frac{m}{s}-20\frac{m}{s}}\\t=750s

One solution to minimize resonance with buildings is to ______ the width to span ratio.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

Resonance is a phenomenon which occurs when a body A in motion set another body B into motion of it own natural frequency. So for resonance to be minimize in a body is to increase the width to span ratio. So as to reduce the overall vibration which affects directly building resonance, the stiffness or trusses and girders should be increase. The increase in this aspect helps to reinforce building structure and support.
