Finding net force, acceleration and speed.

AI Thread Summary
To find the net force on the motorcycle, the applied force of 250 N must be adjusted for friction, calculated using the coefficient of kinetic friction (0.03) and the motorcycle's weight. The net force is determined by subtracting the frictional force from the applied force. The acceleration can be calculated using Newton's second law, F=ma, where the net force is divided by the mass of the motorcycle. Finally, the speed at the end of 350 m can be found using the kinematic equation that relates acceleration, distance, and initial speed. Understanding the forces acting on the motorcycle is crucial for accurate calculations.

A 150 kg motorcycle starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate along a a distance of 350m. The applied force is 250 N and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.03

Find the net force applied to the motorcycle.
Find the acceleration of the motorcycle.
What is its speed at the end of 350 m?


I tried finding the net force by multiplying mass and gravity, but then I think I'm still wrong.

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
