The resultant force from the diagram is 8N towards east.

We Know, F = m*a
Here, F = 8 N
m = 2 Kg

Substitute their values in expression,
8 = 2*a
a = 8/2
a = 4

So, your final answer & acceleration of the object would be 4 m/s² towards East.

Hope this helps!

What are two forms of mechanical energy

iren2701 [21]

Hey there!

There are two different forms of mechanical energy: Kinetic energy and Potential energy.

Kinetic energy is created by an object's motion.
Potential energy is created by an object's position or its configuration.

Thank you!

A car designer is designing a new model of a popular car. He wants to use the same engine as in the old model, but improve the n

Kruka [31]

The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. F = ma; a = F/m. This means that Force over the mass. In order to improve the acceleration without redesigning is that the company has to improve the force assuming that the mass is still the same.

In case A two negative charges which are equal in magnitude are separated by a distance d. In case B the same charges are separa

Radda [10]

Answer:

Case A

Explanation:

We are given that

Case A:

Let

$q_1=q_2=-q$

Distance between two negative charges,r=d

Case B:

Charges are same

Distance between two charges,r=2d

Potential energy= $U=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r}$

Using the formula

For case A

$U_A=\frac{kq^2}{d}$

For case B

$U_B=\frac{Kq^2}{2d}$

Potential energy is inversely proportional to distance between two charges

The distance between two charges in case A is small therefore, it has the highest potential energy.

A child exerts a force on an m = 35 kg box that is parallel to an incline where = 30° so that the box moves up the plane at cons

lisabon 2012 [21]

Given,

The mass of the box, m=35 kg

The angle of inclination, θ=30°

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plane. μ=0.24

(a)

The normal force on the box is equal to the vertical component of the weight of the box, which is given by,

$N=mg\cos \theta$

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

On substituting the known values,

$\begin{gathered} N=35\times9.8\times\cos 30^{\circ} \\ =297.05\text{ N} \end{gathered}$

Thus the normal force on the box is 297.05 N

(b)

The component of the box's weight that is parallel to the plane is given by,

$W_x=mg\sin \theta$

On substituting the known values,

$\begin{gathered} W_x=35\times9.8\times\sin 30^{\circ} \\ =171.5\text{ N} \end{gathered}$

Thus the vertical component of the weight of the box is 171.5 N

(c)

The frictional force is given by,

$f=N\mu$

On substituting the known values,

$\begin{gathered} f=297.05\times0.24 \\ =71.29\text{ N} \end{gathered}$

Thus the frictional force acting on the box is 71.29 N

(d)

As the box is moving at a constant speed, the net horizontal force on the box is zero. Therefore the force applied by the student must be equal to the sum of the frictional force and the horizontal component of the weight of the box.

Therefore, the force applied by the student must be equal to

$F=f+W_x$

On substituting the known values in the above equation,

$\begin{gathered} F=71.29+171.5 \\ =241.79\text{ N} \end{gathered}$

Thus the force applied by the student is 241.79 N
