Answer:

Friction between the box and the floor is 25N to the left.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on an object is equal to the produce between the object's mass and its acceleration:

$F_{net}=ma$

where

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have two forces acting on the object:

- The applied force, F = 25 N, to the right

- The force of friction $F_f$ , opposing the motion of the box, so to the left

So we can write the net force as

$F_{net}=F-F_f$

Also, we know that the box is moving at constant speed: this means its acceleration is zero, so

$a=0$

Therefore

$F_{net}=0$

WHich means:

$F-F_f=0$

And therefore,

$F_f=F=25 N$

which means that the force of friction is also 25 N.

It is true because <span>A pyramid of biomass is a representation of the amount of energy contained in biomass, at different trophic levels for a given point in time . The amount of energy available to one trophic level is limited by the amount stored by the level below. Because energy is lost in the transfer from one level to the next, there is successively less total energy as you move up trophic levels. Tree is a base as it provides food and energy.</span>

The action of two forces. One is a forward force of 1157 N provided by traction between the wheels and the road. The other is a

Pie

Complete question

A 2700 kg car accelerates from rest under the action of two forces. one is a forward force of 1157 newtons provided by traction between the wheels and the road. the other is a 902 newton resistive force due to various frictional forces. how far must the car travel for its speed to reach 3.6 meters per second? answer in units of meters.

Answer:

The car must travel 68.94 meters.

Explanation:

First, we are going to find the acceleration of the car using Newton's second Law:

$\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a}$ (1)

with m the mass , a the acceleration and $\sum\overrightarrow{F}$ the net force forces that is:

$(F-f)$ (2)

with F the force provided by traction and f the resistive force:

(2) on (1):

$(F-f)=ma$

solving for a:

$a=\frac{F-f}{m} =\frac{1157N-902N}{2700kg} =0.094\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Now let's use the Galileo’s kinematic equation

$Vf^{2}=Vo^{2}+2a\varDelta x$ (3)

With Vo te initial velocity that's zero because it started from rest, Vf the final velocity (3.6) and $\varDelta x$ the time took to achieve that velocity, solving (3) for $\varDelta x$ :

$\varDelta x= \frac{Vf^{2}}{2a} = t= \frac{(3.6\frac{m}{s})^2}{2*0.094\frac{m}{s^{2}}}$

$t=68.94 m$

How are metals identified i the periodic table??

zaharov [31]

Answer:

okay here is a thing I learned when I was younger in my middle school:

Explanation:

my teacher would tell me that metals are considered a weak metals are on the left side and the good metals are located on the right side because the only way I remembered was the right means it is really strong and the left is weak and not that supportive. but I think that's how I still think it is or other people may have their own opinions. but hope this helped out with your question!
