Answer:

0.8 seconds

Explanation:

F=ma

Let x be the seconds the force is applied.

m = 20kg

F = 50 Newtons (kg*m/sec^2)

acceleration, a, is provided for x seconds to increase the speed from 1 m/s to  3 m/s, an increase of 2m/s

Let's calculate the acceleration of the cart:

F=ma

(50 kg*m/s^2) = (20kg)*a

a = 2.5 m/s^2

---

The acceleration is 2.5 m/s^2.  The cart increases speed by 2.5 m/s every second.  

We want the number of seconds it takes to add 2.0 m/sec to the speed:

(2.5 m/s^2)*x = 2.0 m/s

x = (2.0/2.5) sec

x = 0.8 seconds

which changes of state should she place in the column titled "lose energy"?freezing, boiling, and meltingmelting, vaporization,
Blababa [14]
Freezing (liquid to solid)
Deposition (gas to solid)
Condensation (gas to liquid)

All three of these state changes are a result of a energy loss. When considering energy loss it is best to think of situations where temperature has dropped. Less energy in the system results in less energy the substance is exposed to or has available.

A package is pushed across the floor a distance of 90 feet by exerting a force of 32 lbs downward at an angle of 24 ∘ with the h
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

2632 foot-pound

Explanation:

Work done: Work is said to be done when ever a force moves a body through a given distance. The S.I unit of force is Newton (N).

From the question,

The expression for work done is given as,

W = Fdcos∅......................... Equation 1

Where W = work done, F = force, d = distance, ∅ = angle between the force and the horizontal.

Given: F = 32 lbs, d = 90 feet, ∅ = 24°

substitute into equation 1

W = 32×90×cos24

W = 2880(0.914)

W = 2632.32

W = 2632 foot-pound
