The resultant force acting on the shopping cart is 12 N to the right.

This is a scenario related to Newton's Laws. A Free Body Diagram can be utilized to illustrate all the forces acting on the object. There are four forces at play:

  1. Gravity (g) acting downward.
  2. Normal force (N) acting upward.
  3. The force exerted by Sally (Fp) acting to the right.
  4. Friction force (Ff) acting to the left.

The first two forces (1 and 2) counteract one another as they are equal, while the overall force can be determined by combining forces (3) and (4)

F=Fp+Ff=20N+ (-8N)=12N

The positive value indicates that the shopping cart is moving towards the right.

Have a good day!

A 4.5-m-long wooden board with a 24-kg mass is supported in two places. One support is directly under the center of the board, a
Ostrovityanka [3204]

All the weight of the wooden board rests solely on the support situated at the center of the rod, while the other support positioned at one end experiences no reaction force, resulting in a 0 reaction force.

Thus, the reaction force at the central support corresponds to the weight of the board, whereas the end support has 0 reaction force.

A car rolls down a ramp in a parking garage. The horizontal position of the car in meters over time is shown below. Graph of ver
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

d_total = 12 m

Explanation:

In this kinematics scenario illustrated in the graph provided, we determine the distance traveled over a 24-second duration.

The comprehensive distance can be calculated as follows:

d_total = d₁ + d₂ + d₃

Given that d₂ on the graph is level (v=0), its distance equates to zero, hence d₂ = 0.

The distance for d₁ is calculated as:

d₁ = 12 - 6 = 6 m

For distance d₃:

d₃ = 6 - 0 = 6 m

Thus, the overall distance covered is:

d_total = 6 + 0 + 6

d_total = 12 m

A child on a 2.4 kg scooter at rest throws a 2.2 kg ball. The ball is given a speed of 3.1 m/s and the child and scooter move in
Maru [3345]

Answer:

The mass of the child is 14.133 kg

Explanation:

According to the principle of linear momentum conservation, we get;

(m₁ + m₂) × v₁ + m₃ × v₂ = (m₁ + m₂) × v₃ - m₃ × v₄

The negative sign signifies that their velocities were directed oppositely

Considering both the child and the ball are initially at rest, we have;

v₁ = 0 m/s and v₂= 0 m/s

Thus;

0 = m₁ × v₃ - m₂ × v₄

(m₁ + m₂) × v₃ = m₃ × v₄

Where:

m₁ = Mass of the child

m₂ = Mass of the scooter = 2.4 kg

v₃ = Final velocity of the child and scooter = 0.45 m/s

m₃ = Mass of the ball = 2.4 kg

v₄ = Final velocity of the ball = 3.1 m/s

Substituting the known values gives us;

(m₁ + 2.4) × 0.45 = 2.4 × 3.1

(m₁ + 2.4) = 16.533

This implies m₁ + 2.4 = 16.533

Thus, m₁ = 16.533 - 2.4 = 14.133 kg

The mass of the child equals 14.133 kg.
