(a) The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.

(b) The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².

<h3>Minimum force to be applied </h3>

The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is calculated as follows;

Fcosθ = μ(s)Fₙ

Fcosθ = μ(s)mg

where;

μ(s) is coefficient of static friction
m is mass of the block
g is acceleration due to gravity

F = [0.1(36)(9.8)] / [(cos(25)]

F = 38.9 N

<h3>Acceleration of the block</h3>

F(net) = 38.9 - (0.03 x 36 x 9.8) = 28.32

a = F(net)/m

a = 28.32/36

a = 0.79 m/s²

Thus, the minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.

The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².

How do I know if i’m doing number 2 right?

Ksju [112]

We are given an object that is speeding up on a level ground.

Let's remember that the gravitational energy depends on the change in height, therefore, if the object is not changing its height it means that the gravitational energy remains constant.

The kinetic energy depends on the velocity. If the velocity is increasing this means that the kinetic energy is also increasing.

Now, every change in velocity requires acceleration and acceleration requires a force. The force and the distance that the object moves are equivalent to the work that is transferred to the object and therefore, the change in kinetic energy. This means that the total energy of the system increases as work is transferred to the mass.

We have that the total energy of the system increases in the form of kinetic energy and that the gravitational potential energy remains constant. Therefore, the diagrams should look like pie charts that grow but the area of the segment of the potential energy stays the same. It should look similar to the following.

Answer:

34883.7

Explanation:

Primero hay que convertir las dos unidades a la misma unidad-cm-

3km- 300000 cm

86mm- 8.6mm

Después hay que dividir

300000/8.6= 34883.7209302 ~ 34883.7

Yamin is running 50 feet of No. 14 wire (with a cross section of 4,110 cmils) to a load that draws current of 11 amps. What appr

castortr0y [4]

Resistance per 1000 feet for gauge 14 wire is given as

R = 2.525 ohm

now if wire is of length 50 feet only then the resistance is given as

$R = \frac{2.525}{1000}\times 50$

$R = 0.126 ohm$

now if 11 A current flows through the wire then the voltage drop is given by ohm's law

$V = iR$

$V = 11 \times 0.126$

$V = 1.4 Volts$

so most appropriate answer in given options is

A. 1.8 Volts

What is the minimum speed must a salmon jumping at an angle of 35.2 leave the water in m/s?

yuradex [85]

Height of the waterfall is 0.449 m

its horizontal distance will be 2.1 m

now let say his speed is v with which he jumped out so here the two components of his velocity will be

$v_x = vcos35.2 = 0.817 v$

$v_y = vsin35.2 = 0.576 v$

here the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2 downwards

now we can find the time to reach the other end by y direction displacement equation

$\Delta y = v_y * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

$-0.449 = 0.576 * v *t - \frac{1}{2}*9.81 * t^2$

also from x direction we can say

$\Delta x = v_x * t$

$2.1 = 0.817 v* t$

now we have

$v* t = 2.57$

we will plug in this value into first equation

$- 0.449 = 0.576 * 2.57 - 4.905 * t^2$

$1.93 = 4.905 * t^2$

$t = 0.63 s$

now as we know that

$v* t = 2.57$

t = 0.63 s

$v = \frac{2.57}{0.63}$

$v = 4.1 m/s$

so his minimum speed of jump is 4.1 m/s
