a horizontal force of 300 N is needed to push a crate along the floor at constant speed. What is the friction force on the crate?

Since a 100-N force is being used to push the crate in one direction, and there is a total net force of 0, the force of friction acting on the crate must also be 100 N. This frictional force points in the direction opposite of the push.

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.
