The acceleration of the crate after it begins to move is 0.5 m/s²

We'll begin by calculating the the frictional force

Mass (m) = 50 Kg

Coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) = 0.15

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Normal reaction (N) = mg = 50 × 10 = 500 N

<h3>Frictional force (Fբ) =?</h3>

Fբ = μN

Fբ = 0.15 × 500

<h3>Fբ = 75 N</h3>

  • Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the crate

Frictional force (Fբ) = 75 N

Force (F) = 100 N

<h3>Net force (Fₙ) =?</h3>

Fₙ = F – Fբ

Fₙ = 100 – 75

<h3>Fₙ = 25 N</h3>

  • Finally, we shall determine the acceleration of the crate

Mass (m) = 50 Kg

Net force (Fₙ) = 25 N

<h3>Acceleration (a) =?</h3>

a = Fₙ / m

a = 25 / 50

<h3>a = 0.5 m/s²</h3>

Therefore, the acceleration of the crate is 0.5 m/s²

Light incident on a lake surface is partly reflected and partly refracted.What is the differences between the reflected ray and
iren2701 [21]

Answer: As per the question, a ray of light is incident on a surface and it is partly reflected and refracted. The incident light is an unpolarised light. The reflected light is partially polarised.

If the angle of incidence becomes equal to the Brester angle (polarising angle), then the reflected light is completely plane polarised.

An asteroid orbiting the Sun has a mass of 4.00×1016 kg. At a particular instant, it experiences a gravitational force of 3.14×1
Ksivusya [100]
<h2>The asteroid is 4.11 x 10¹¹ m far from Sun</h2>

Explanation:

We have gravitational force

                 F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

           Where G =  6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

                       M = Mass of body 1

                       M = Mass of body 2

                       r = Distance between them

Here we have

                 M = Mass of Sun = 1.99×10³⁰ kg

                 m = Mass of asteroid = 4.00×10¹⁶ kg

                 F = 3.14×10¹³ N

Substituting

                   F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\\3.14\times 10^{13}=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}\times 4\times 10^{16}}{r^2}\\\\r=4.11\times 10^{11}m

The asteroid is 4.11 x 10¹¹ m far from Sun

The speed of a car during a trip is represented in the graph. Compare distance and displacement at four hours into the trip.
mezya [45]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: D.

Explanation:

Distance refers to the amount of space between two points, it is a scalar quantity.

Displacement refers to the space between two points, measure from the minimum path linking them, it is a vector quantity.

I'm not agree with these answers, because the total distance  is approximately 500km.

A) The distance traveled is 300 km.  This answer is not correct.

B) Distance is 300 km and displacement is 0 km.  This answer is not correct because the displacement is also 500 km.

C) Distance is 300 km/hour and displacement is 300 km. 300 km/h is a measure of speed not of distance, this option is wrong.

D) Both distance traveled and displacement are 300 km. I think this is the correct answer because distance and displacement measure the same. but I think both measure 500 km.
