The force acting on the cart is 1.43 N.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration.

To calculate the force acting on the cart, we use the formula below.

Formula:

F = m(v-u)/t................. Equation 1

Where:

F = Force acting on the cart
m = mass of the cart
v = Final velocity
u = initial velocity
t = time

From the question,

Given:

m = 500 g = 0.5 kg
v = 30 m/s
u = 10 m/s
t = 7 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = 0.5(30-10)/7
F = 10/7
F = 1.43 N.

Hence, the force acting on the cart is 1.43 N.

What are the two measurements necessary for calculating average speed?

IgorC [24]

Because the average of one measurement would yield to itself, which provides nothing new to us. We need at least two for average to be purposeful.

Rafael is driving his car at 26 m/s. What is the shortest distance in which he can brake and stop if the coefficient of static f

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

86.14 meters.

Explanation:

Step one:

Given data

velocity of car = 26 m/s

the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road

µ = 0.4 (kinetic)

Let us take g = 9.81 m/s^2

Required

The distance x = distance in m

We know that

$N = Fg = mg\\\\F_\mu = -\mu N = \mu F_g = \mu mg\\\\KE = (1/2) mv^2$

W = F*x (Work is force times distance)

Step two:

Conservation of energy gives

KE = W

Substituting gives

$(1/2) mv^2 = F \mu x\\\\(1/2) mv^2 = \mu mgx\\\\mv^2 = 2 \mu mgx$

Solving for distance (x) gives

$x = mv^2 / 2 \mu mg$

Simplifying

$x = v^2 / 2 \mu g$

Substitute:

$x = v^2 / 2 \mu g$

$x= 26^2/2*0.4*9.81$

$x=676/7.848\\\\x=86.14$

Therefore, the minimum braking distance is 86.14 meters.

if you poured oil and water into a beaker , which liquid would be on top and which would be on the bottom ? How would the densit

Effectus [21]

Answer:

oil floats in water due to the fact that it is less dense. since the water is more dense, it is basically heavier, and heavier items always sink, while lighter items float, the same can be said about liquids. denser liquids will sink while less dense items will float.
