Answer:

1.06 metres per second squared

Explanation:

since friction acts against foward force

20 N - 4 N = 16 N

use Newtons 2nd law F=ma Solve for a:

a= F÷m

= 16 ÷ 15

= 1.06 metres per second squared

C. Newtons third law of motion

Because eventually, the frictional forces will slow you to a halt. Newton's Third Law of Motion For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When they push off against the ice, or "stroke" with their skates, they are applying a force down and back against the ground.

Hope this helps!

A particle vibrates in Simple Harmonic Motion with amplitude. What will be its displacement in one time-period? A 2A 4A 0
yan [13]

'Displacement' is the distance and direction between the starting point and
ending point, regardless of the path followed to get there.

A particle that's executing simple harmonic motion is always in the same place
where it was one time period ago, and where it will be later after another time
period has passed. 

So its displacement during exactly one time period is exactly zero.

What steps are involved in converting potential energy to kinetic energy? Give me an example for each. Your Answer must be 2 com
Degger [83]

Answer:

Explanation:When an object is allowed to fall, the concentrated gravitational potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy of motion. If there is no air resistance, or other restrictions, all of the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy when the object has fallen the distance H.
