:sliding from left to right in a straight line on a horizontal steel surface, an aluminum block weighing 20 newtons is acted on by a 2.4 newton friction force. the block will be brought to rest by the friction force in a distance of 10 meters. determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the block as it is brought to rest by the friction force. (show all work)

-1.176 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

weight of aluminium block is w = 20.0 N

frictional force, f = 2.4 N

final velocity, v = 0

distance covered, d = 10 m

From Newton's second equation of motion,

F = ma

where, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

mass of the block, m g = 20.0 N

m = 2.04 kg

The block is brought to rest by friction force:

f =- m a

⇒ 2.4 N = -(2.04 kg)(a)

⇒a = -1.176 m/s²

here are some information of the future of geothermal energy:

-the future of geothermal energy can pretty much be summed up with a single word: more

-scientists plan in going deeper than 120 meters

-we are hoping that one day, we will get all of our energy from renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy

hope this !

more than, less

less than, more
