Dave and Alex push on opposite ends of a car that has a mass of 875 kg. Dave pushes the car to the right with a force of 250 N,

and Alex pushes to the
left with a force of 315 N. Assume there is no friction.

The net force acting on the car is 65 N to the left

The net force acting on an object is simply defined as the resultant force acting on the object.

From the question given, we obtained the following data:

  • Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 250 N
  • Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 315 N
  • Net force (Fₙ) =?

The net force acting on the car can be obtained as follow:

Fₙ = Fₗ – Fᵣ

Fₙ = 315 – 250

<h3>Fₙ = 65 N to the left </h3>

Therefore, the net force acting on the car is 65 N to the left

Since there is no friction, the net force on the car in the x - direction will be 65 Newtons

Given that Dave and Alex push on opposite ends of a car that has a mass of 875 kg.

Dave pushes the car to the right with a force of 250 N, which is positive direction and Alex pushes to the left with a force of 315 N which is negative direction. Since there is no friction, only the horizontal forces will be considered.

To calculate the net force on the car in the x-direction, we will find the difference between the two forces because of their directions are opposite to each other.

Net force = 315 - 250

Net force = 65 Newtons

Therefore, the net force on the car in the x - direction will be 65 Newtons

Calculate the most probable speed of an ozone molecule in the stratosphere
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

v_{mp}=305.83 m/s

Explanation:

The temperature in stratosphere is generally about 270 K

molecular weight of an ozone molecule = 48 gm/mole

now formula for most probable velocity

v_{mp}= \sqrt{\frac{2RT}{M} }

plugging the values we get

v_{mp}= \sqrt{\frac{2\8.314\times270}{48} }

v_{mp}=305.83 m/s

Help !!!! Estimate the number of breaths taken by a person during 44 years?
Lisa [10]
44 x 12. I got the 12 from the total of 12 months in a year.


44 > 40

x
12 > 10
----------
The way my teacher taught me how to estimate is look at the neighbor to 44 and 12. The only time 44 can become 50, is when the neighbor is 5 or up. Same thing for 12. Now, multiply 40 and 10.

40 x 10 = 400.

Therefore, your estimate is 400.

The real answer is 520 breaths.
