A 20 kg wagon is rolling to the right across a floor. A person attempts to catch and stop the crate and applies a force of 70 N, 180.0 on it. If the coefficient of friction is 0.18, calculate the deceleration rate of the wagon as it is caught.

Answer from: cjstablet04

1.736m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law;

$\sum F_x = ma_x\\$

$Fm - Ff = ma_x\\$ where;

Fm is the moving force = 70.0N

Ff is the frictional force acting on the body

$Ff = \mu R\\Ff = \mu mg\\$

$\mu$ is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

a is the acceleration/deceleration

The equation becomes;

$Fm - Ff = ma_x\\Fm - \mu mg = ma\\$

Substitute the given parameters

$Fm - \mu mg = ma\\70 - 0.18(20)(9.8) = 20a\\70-35.28 = 20a\\34.72 = 20a\\a = \frac{34.72}{20}\\a = 1.736m/s^2\\$

Hence the deceleration rate of the wagon as it is caught is 1.736m/s²

Answer from: Quest

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like $\frac{1}{3}$ . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

max planckalbert einsteinerwin schrödingermany

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

superposition (where 1 thing can be this and that at the same time),entanglement (where two particles are seemingly connected by some sort of unknown (or known) force, energy, matter (i know all that can be the same at least it was at the beginning)

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!

$efficiency \: = \frac{useful \: energy \: output}{total \: energy \: input} \ \times$ $100$ therefore, the efficiency is: $\frac{222}{222} \times 100$ $= 100\%$

Your starship, the aimless wanderer, lands on the mysterious planet mongo. as chief scientist-engineer, you make the following measurements: a 2.50-kg stone thrown upward from the ground at 14.0 m/s returns to the ground in 5.70 s ; the circumference of mongo at the equator is 2.20×10^5 km ; and there is no appreciable atmosphere on mongo. (a) the starship commander, captain confusion, asks for the following information: what is the mass of mongo? (b) if the aimless wanderer goes into a circular orbit 2.20×10^4 km above the surface of mongo, how many hours will it take the ship to complete one orbit? (c) an unmanned spacecraft is in a circular orbit around the moon, observing the lunar surface from an altitude of 44.0 km . to the dismay of scientists on earth, an electrical fault causes an on-board thruster to fire, decreasing the speed of the spacecraft by 23.0 m/s . if nothing is done to correct its orbit, with what speed (in km/h) will the spacecraft crash into the lunar surface?
