A 20 N force pulls to the right and friction pulls 5 N. If the mass is 5 kg, find acceleration.​

Physics

Answer:

Explanation:

Force - frictional Force = m * a

20N - 5N = 5 * a

15N = 5*a

15N / 5 = a

a = 3 m/s^2

You should note a couple of things.

1. The frictional Force always opposes the direction of motion. In this case it is minus and the 20 N is plus. It makes the acceleration less. If the friction force was not there then 20 N = m * a

20N = 5 kg * a

a = 20/5

a = 4 m/s^2.

 <span>Yes, the vast majority of an atom is indeed empty space. Most of it's mass is centered in the nucleus. Flying around the nucleus are the electrons, but they're very very far away (on an atomic level anyway). Most of the atom is the space between the nucleus and the electrons.</span>

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

a = 10.07m/s^2

Their acceleration in meters per second squared is 10.07m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time

a = ∆v/t

Given;

∆v = 50.0miles/hour - 0

∆v = 50.0miles/hours × 1609.344 metres/mile × 1/3600 seconds/hour

∆v = 22.352m/s

t = 2.22 s

So,

Acceleration a = ∆v/t = 22.352m/s ÷ 2.22s

a = 10.07m/s^2

Their acceleration in meters per second squared is 10.07m/s^2

A car experiences a centripetal acceleration of 4.4 m/s ^2 as ur rounds a corner with a speed of 15 m/s. What is the radius of t
damaskus [11]
The calculation of the centripetal acceleration of an object following a circular path is based on the equation,

                  a = v² / r

where a is the acceleration, v is the velocity, and r is the radius.

Substituting the known values from the given above,

             4.4 m/s² = (15 m/s)² / r

The value of r from the equation is 51.14 m.

Answer: 51.14 m
