(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.

Please help <br>problems 2a.,2b.,3a.,and 3b.​
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

2a) x = 32 [mil/h]; 2b) t = 0.5[h]; 3a) t = 2.5 [h]; 3b) x = 185[mil]

Explanation:

2a)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

v=\frac{x}{t} \\v=velocity [\frac{mil}{h} ] = 32 [\frac{mil}{h}] \\t=time = 1 [h]\\x=v*t\\x=32[\frac{mil}{h} ]*1[h]\\x=32[mil}

2b)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

v=\frac{x}{t} \\t=\frac{x}{v} \\t=\frac{420}{840}\\ t=0.5[h]

3a)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

v=\frac{x}{t} \\t=\frac{x}{v} \\t=\frac{35}{14}\\ t=2.5[h]

3b)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

v=\frac{x}{t} \\v=velocity [\frac{mil}{h} ] = 74 [\frac{mil}{h}] \\t=time = 2.5 [h]\\x=v*t\\x=74[\frac{mil}{h} ]*2.5[h]\\x=185[mil}

In which situation is maximum work considered to be done by a force?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

A) When the angle between the Force (F) and Displacement (x) is 0°, because, Work done (W) is directly proportional to the Cosine of the Angle between the Force applied and the resultant displacement of the subject.

W = F•x cos ∅

If ∅ = 0°,

W = F•x ===> Maximum Work Done.

If ∅ = 45°,

W = F•x/√2

If ∅ = 90°,

W = 0

If ∅ = 180°,

W = –F•x ===> Minimum Work Done.

What is the source of geothermal energy? User: What is the source of geothermal energy?
bazaltina [42]

The answer is; C

In particular points in the earth’s surface, underground water is naturally heated to steam that can be harness for geothermal energy. The steam that ejects from the ground with high kinetic energy can be used to turn turbines that generate electricity. The underground water is usually heated by the hot rocks beneath that are subjected to the immense heat of magma or the enormous pressure of overlying crust.

who developed the quantum theory? who is remembered as the father of nuclear science? who developed the theories of relativity?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

1.Albert Einstein is considered as the one who developed the quantum theory. Although Planck gives the idea of quantized energy but Einstein gives the theory that not only the energy the wave or radiation itself is quantized.

2. Earnest Rutherford is considered as the father of nuclear science as he gives the concept of half life and  perform tests of alpha and beta radiations in various elements.

3. Again Albert Einstein was the one who gave the theory of relativity in 1905.
