Answer:

10.0 N West

Explanation:

Imagine East is positive and West is negative. Essentially now we have 2 forces pulling opposite each other on the same plane, so we can add them up.

F1=20N

F2=-30N

F1+F2=Net Force

20+(-30)=-10

Therefore the Net Force is 10N West.

What is Vatiable Velocity?

Allushta [10]

Answer:

Explanation: When a body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time in a specified direction, the body is said to be moving with a variable velocity. Example: A rotating fan at a constant speed has variable velocity, because of continuous change in direction.

A repelling force occurs between two charged objects when the charges are of Equal magnitude. Equal magnitude. a Unequal magnitu

Ahat [919]

Answer:

c Like/same signs

Explanation:

A repelling force occurs between two or more charged objects with the charges are of like or same sign.

According to Coulombs law, like charges repel on another, unlike charges attracts on another.
If a positive charge comes into the vicinity of another positive charge, there will be repulsion.
When oppositely charge species are brought near each other, there is an attraction.

Therefore, repulsion occurs when like charges are brought close to each other.

A freight train car has a mass of 2,000 kilograms and an acceleration of 1.8 m/s/s. What is the average force behind that train

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

F = 3600 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of force must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

F = force [N]

m = mass = 2000 [kg]

a = acceleration = 1.8 [m/s^2]

Now replacing:

F = 2000*1.8

F = 3600 [N]

A coffee filter of mass 1.2 grams dropped from a height of 1 m reaches the ground with a speed of 0.8 m/s. How much kinetic ener

iren [92.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy gained by the air molecules is 0.011 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

Here, the potential energy of the coffee filter is getting converted into kinetic energy of the coffee filter and some energy is lost by it which is gained by the air molecules in the form of kinetic energy.

So, calculating the potential energy of coffee filter, we use the equation:

P = mgh

where,

m = mass of coffee filter = 1.2 g = $1.2\times 10^{-3}kg$ (Conversion used: 1 kg = 1000 g)
