You pull with a force of 295 N on a rope that is attached to a block of mass 22 kg, and the block slides across the floor at a c
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Fnet = 0

Explanation:

  • Since the block slides across the floor at constant speed, this means that it's not accelerated.
  • According Newton's 2nd Law, if the acceleration is zero, the net force on the sliding mass must be zero.
  • This means that there must be a friction force opposing to the horizontal component of the applied force, equal in magnitude to it:

       F_{appx} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * cos 35 = 242 N  (1)

  • In the vertical direction, the block is not accelerated either, so the sum of the normal force and the vertical component of the applied force, must be equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the block:

      F_{appy} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * sin 35 = 169 N  (2)

⇒    169 N + Fn = Fg = 216 N  (3)

  • This means that there must be a normal force equal to the difference between Fappy and Fg, as follows:
  • Fn = 216 N - 169 N = 47  N (4)

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Equator

Explanation:

The equator is the line of latitude that separates the earth into the northern and southern hemisphere.Its magnitude is 0 degrees latitude. The equator and other lines of latitude are parallel to each other. The lines of longitude which is 0 degrees is known as the Greenwich meridian. The longitudinal lines however are not parallel as they converge at the poles.

What 3 factors should be considered when designing a lighting rod?
Mariana [72]

Explanation:

A lightning rod (US, AUS) If lightning hits the structure:-

It will preferentially strike the rod and be conducted to ground through a wire.

Instead of passing through the structure, where it could start a fire or cause electrocution.

The parts of a lightning protection system are air terminals (lightning rods or strike) and all of the connectors and supports to complete the system.
