Answer:
The net force is zero, so the acceleration is zero
Explanation:
Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force applied to it, according to the equation:
(1)
where
is the net force on the object
m is the mass of the object
a is its acceleration
In this problem, we have a sled acted upon two forces, . So the net force on the sled is
(2)
however, we are told that the two forces are equal in magnitude but in opposite directions, so
So, eq.(2) becomes
and so eq.(1) becomes
which means
so the acceleration of the sled is zero, and if the sled was at rest, it will not move.

a) What is the average acceleration of the car?
b) What distance does it travel in this time?
Explanation:
Average acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity to the rate of change of period. Change of velocity refers to the difference between final velocity and initial velocity. The unit of acceleration is meter/sec/sec (or) m s^2.
Avg Acceleration=(Final velocity - Initial velocity) /(Final time - Initial time)
a. To find the average acceleration of the car, (initial velocity and initial time is 0, the final velocity is 28 m/s, final time = 20 s)
Avg acceleration of the car = (28 - 0) / (20 - 0)
= 28 / 20 = 1.4 m / s^2.
b. The distance traveled is given by the product of speed and time
Distance traveled = Speed * Time
The Distance traveled by the car = 28 * 20 = 560 m.
By applying basic physics formulas, the car's average acceleration can be determined as 1.4 m/s², and the distance it travels in 20 seconds is 280 meters.
To answer this question, you'll need to apply basic physics formulas. Let's go step by step:
a) What is the average acceleration of the car?
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. The formula is Acceleration = (Final speed - Initial speed) / Time. Here, the initial speed is 0 (because the car is starting from rest), final speed is 28 m/s and time is 20 s.
So, Acceleration = (28 m/s - 0) / 20 s = 1.4 m/s². That's your answer for part a.
b) What distance does it travel in this time?
The distance traveled by the car can be found using the formula of linear motion: Distance = Initial speed x Time + 0.5 x Acceleration x Time². Since the car starts from rest, the initial speed is zero, and this component of the formula will be zero.
So, Distance = 0 + 0.5 x 1.4 m/s² x (20 s)² = 280 m. So, the car travels 280 meters in that time.

Answer:If the forces on an object are balanced, the net force is zero.
Explanation:
If the forces are unbalanced forces, the effects don't cancel each other. Any time the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the net force is not zero, and the motion of the object changes.
what is serap's momentum
what is the total momentum of the entire system?
1) David's momentum is 12,000 kg m/s east
2) Serap's momentum is 15,000 kg m/s east
3) The total momentum is 27,000 kg m/s east
Explanation:
1)
The momentum of an object is given by
where
m is the mass of the object
v is its velocity
In this problem, we have:
m = 600 kg is the mass of David+his dune buggy
is their velocity (taking east as positive direction)
Therefore, David's momentum is:
And the direction is the same as the velocity (east).
2)
Again, we can use the same equation:
where this time
m is the mass of Serap+dunebuggy
v is their velocity
In this problem,
m = 500 kg is the mass of Serap + dunebuggy
v = 30 m/s is their velocity (positive since it is also in the east direction)
Substituting, we find
And the direction is the same as the velocity (east).
3)
The total momentum of the entire system is given by
where
is David's momentum
is Serap's momentum
In this problem, we have the following data, found in the previous parts:
The two momentum have same direction (east), so we can simply add them together to find the total momentum:
And the direction is still East.
