A person pushes an object of mass 5.0 kg along the floor by applying a force. If the object experiences a friction force of 10 N and accelerates at
18 m/s^2, what is the magnitude of the force exerted by the person?

The magnitude of the force exerted by the person is 100 N

Explanation:

Net Force

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

Fn = ma

Where a is the acceleration of the object.

The net force is the sum of all forces exerted over a body. When an object is moved along a rough surface it experiences two horizontal forces and two vertical forces (provided there is no vertical component of the applied force).

The vertical forces are the Normal and the Weight and they are balanced, i.e.: N = W = mg.

The horizontal forces are The applied force (Fa) and the friction force (Fr). They are not balanced because the object is accelerated in that direction. The net force is:

Fn = Fa - Fr

Applying the first equation:

Fa - Fr = ma

Solving for Fa:

Fa = Fr + ma

Substituting the given values m=5 kg, Fr=10 N, .

Fa = 10 + 5*18 = 10 + 90 = 100

Fa = 100 N

The magnitude of the force exerted by the person is 100 N

elly's long hair:

a. if the salon only takes cash, then this isn't the problem. it doesn't matter how much she has in her checking account.   she can't get a haircut until she has the cash.

b. if she has overdraft protection, then there's no problem.   she can go ahead and write a check that her account can't cover, then sometime later, pay the bank some outrageous usury for loaning her a few bucks for a few days, but with beautiful hair.

c. if elly has some principles, and doesn't want to write a bad check, then now she has a problem.   her desire for the new hairstyle is in conflict with her honesty and integrity.

d.   if the bank will not process a check she writes, then even if she had a million $$ in her account, she couldn't use any of it.   the amount she has in her account is not the problem.   and if i may suggest, she might as well close her checking account, and put the money where it'll work for her.   it's not doing her a bit of good in a checking account, since she can't write any checks.

justin can't pay the full balance:

a. he can't even handle the credit limit he has now.   under no circumstances should he ask for a higher limit.

b.   he can ask for the grace period to be extended.   but that's no solution, the bank will almost certainly refuse anyway, and there are much better options.   he knew the rules of his credit card when he started using it.

c.   he definitely should pay the interest on the balance, plus as much of the balance as he can cover at the same time.

d.   he definitely should pay the minimum otherwise they could shut down his card.   he should also pay as much more as he possibly can.   he should also remember the awkward situation he's in, stop buying stuff on credit that he can't afford, and avoid adding any more debt.

i'd say that justin's best best option isn't on this list of choices.   what he has to do:   pay as much as he can at least the minimum payment plus as much more as he can and then avoid adding more debt.

another example of kinetic energy would be,

kinetic energy   >     moving energy

answer   >   letter choice (c),   a hammer falling off a table.

hope that !                                         : )
