A man pushes his child in a grocery cart. The total mass of the cart and child is 30.0 kg. If the force resisting the carts moti

on is 15.0 N, how hard does the man have to push so that the cart accelerates at 1.50m/s/s.

The force applied by the man is 60 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's second law, which states that:

\sum F = ma (1)

where

\sum F is the net force acting on the child+cart

m is the mass of the child+cart system

a is their acceleration

In this problem, we have:

m = 30.0 kg is the mass

a=1.50 m/s^2

And there are two forces acting on the child+cart system:

  • The forward force of pushing, F
  • The force resisting the cart motion, R = 15.0 N

Therefore we can write the net force as

\sum F = F -R

where R is negative since its direction is opposite to the motion

So eq.(1) can be rewritten as

F-R=ma

And solving for F,

F=ma+R=(30.0)(1.50)+15.0=60 N

Which of the following four circuit diagrams best represents the experiment described in this problem?
Valentin [98]

We don't see any circuit diagrams.  

This worries us for a few seconds, until we realize that we don't know anything about the experiment described in the problem either, so we don't have to worry about it at all.

Scotesia swims from the north end to the south end of a 50.0 m pool in 20.0 s. As she begins to make the return trip , Sean, who
slega [8]

Answer:

a) 2.5m/s

b) 0.91m/s

c) 0m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity can be said to be the ratio of the displacement with respect to time.

Average speed on the other hand is the ratio of distance in relation to time

Thus, to get the average velocity for the first half of the swim

V(average) = displacement of first trip/time taken on the trip

V(average) = 50/20

V(average) = 2.5m/s

Average velocity for the second half of the swim will be calculated in like manner, thus,

V(average) = 50/55

V(average) = 0.91m/s

Average velocity for the round trip will then be

V(average) = 0/75, [50+25]

V(average) = 0m/s

If Emily throws the ball at an angle of 30∘ below the horizontal with a speed of 14m/s, how far from the base of the dorm should
liubo4ka [24]

Emily throws the ball at 30 degree below the horizontal

so here the speed is 14 m/s and hence we will find its horizontal and vertical components

v_x = 14 cos30 = 12.12 m/s

v_y = 14 sin30 = 7 m/s

vertical distance between them

\delta y = 4 m

now we will use kinematics in order to find the time taken by the ball to reach at Allison

\delat y = v_y *t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

here acceleration is due to gravity

a = 9.8 m/s^2

now we will have

4 = 7 * t + \frac{1}{2}*9.8 * t^2

now solving above quadratic equation we have

t = 0.44 s

now in order to find the horizontal distance where ball will fall is given as

d = v_x * t

here it shows that horizontal motion is uniform motion and it is not accelerated so we can use distance = speed * time

d = 12.12 * 0.44 = 5.33 m

so the distance at which Allison is standing to catch the ball will be 5.33 m
