A man is trying to push a 78.0 N dresser across his carpeted bedroom which is a horizontal surface. He applies a force of 21.0 N and the carpet provides a frictional
force of 11.6 N. What will be the magnitude of the resulting acceleration?

Aparticle initially moving east with a speed of 20.0 m/s, experiences an acceleration of 3.95 m/s, north for a time of 8.00 s. what was the speed of the particle after this acceleration, in units of m/s? give the answer as a positive number.

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

Aclarinetist, setting out for a performance, grabs his 3.350 kg clarinet case (including the clarinet) from the top of the piano and carries it through the air with an upward force of 24.65 n. find the case's vertical acceleration. indicate an upward acceleration as positive and a downward one as negative.
