- Perform the following calculations and express your answer using the correct number of significant digits. (a) A woman has two bags weighing 13.5 pounds and one bag with a weight of 10.2 pounds. What is the total weight of the bags? (b) The force on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration . If a wagon with mass 55 kg accelerates at a rate of 0.0255m/s2, what is the force on the wagon? (The unit of force is called the newton, and it is expressed with the symbol N.)arrow_forwardPerform the following calculations and express your answer using the correct number of significant digits.(a) A woman has two bags weighing 13.5 pounds and one bag with a weight of 10.2 pounds. What is the total weight of thebags?(b) The force F on an object is equal to its mass m multiplied by its acceleration a .

A person to the left is pushing a car with a force FA=2,720 N while another person is pushing that car in the opposite direction with force FB=380 N. Additionally, the force of friction between the car's tires and road is 500 N. Find the acceleration of the car (in m/s2) assuming that the mass of the car is 3,700 kg. Provide your answer up to 3 significant figures in the decimal points e.g. 9.123arrow_forward

The material for the top and bottom of the container will cost $4 per in?, and the material for the sides will cost $2 per in?. Find the dimensions of the container of least cost. Let x be the length of each edge of the base and y be the height. Enter the exact answers. x = i inches y = i inchesarrow_forwardThe formula for the braking distance of a car is: 0.033612² μ d= where: .d v ● is the braking distance (in feet) is the initial velocity of the car (in miles per hour) is the coefficient of friction between the tires and the roadway At the scene of an accident, the driver tells a police officer he had been driving at 25 miles per hour when he slammed on his brakes and skidded off the road. If the road is covered in snow with a friction coefficient of μ = 0.25, how long should the skid marks be if the driver was really going 25 miles per hour? feet (Round to 1 decimal place.) d= The officer measures the skid marks and finds they are 147 feet long, which shows the driver was going faster than 25 miles per hour. Use d = 147 to determine the actual speed of the car. miles per hour (Round to 1 decimal place.)
