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!

Assume that the cart is free to roll without friction and that the coefficient of static friction between the block and the cart
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:F=\frac{(M+m)g}{\mu _s}

Explanation:

Provided:

The trolley, with mass M, is allowed to roll freely without friction.

The coefficient of friction between the trolley and mass m is \mu _s.

A force F is applied to mass m.

The acceleration of the system is

a=\frac{F}{M+m}

The frictional force will counterbalance the weight of the block.

The frictional force is =\mu _sN

N=ma

\mu _sN=mg

\mu _sma=mg

\mu _s=\frac{g}{a}

F=\frac{(M+m)g}{\mu _s}

A beam of electrons moves at right angles to a magnetic field of 4.5 × 10-2 tesla. If the electrons have a velocity of 6.5 × 106
Softa [3030]
Greetings!

Using the formula F = Bqv sin theta, we define F as Force, B as magnetic flux density, q as charge, v as velocity, and theta as the angle created by the moving electrons in relation to the magnetic field.

^^^You can compute the force using that equation^^^

In conclusion, your result would MOST LIKELY be "B".

If you double the mass of an object while leaving the net force unchanged what is the result
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

If the net force acting on an object doubles, its acceleration also doubles. Conversely, if the mass is doubled, the acceleration will be halved. If both the net force and mass are doubled, the acceleration remains the same.
