We are given a box that slides up a ramp. To determine the force of friction we will use the following relationship:

F_f=\mu N

Where.

\begin{gathered} N=\text{ normal force} \\ \mu=\text{ coefficient of friction} \end{gathered}

To determine the Normal force we will add the forces in the direction perpendicular to the ramp, we will call this direction the y-direction as shown in the following diagram:

In the diagram we have:

\begin{gathered} m=\text{ mass}_{} \\ g=\text{ acceleration of gravity} \\ mg=\text{ weight} \\ mg_y=y-\text{component of the weight. } \end{gathered}

Adding the forces in the y-direction we get:

\Sigma F_y=N-mg_y

Since there is no movement in the y-direction the sum of forces must be equal to zero:

N-mg_y=0

Now we solve for the normal force:

N=mg_y

To determine the y-component of the weight we will use the trigonometric function cosine:

\cos 40=\frac{mg_y}{mg}

Now we multiply both sides by "mg":

mg\cos 40=mg_y

Now we substitute this value in the expression for the normal force:

N=mg\cos 40

Now we substitute this in the expression for the friction force:

F_f=\mu mg\cos 40

Now we substitute the given values:

F_f=(0.2)(10\operatorname{kg})(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\cos 40

Solving the operations:

F_f=15.01N

Therefore, the force of friction is 15.01 Newtons.

How much pressure is created when you apply a
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Pressure
= Force/Area

Area = π(d^2)/4
= π(0.4^2)/4
=0.126 m2
Pressure
= 50/0.126
= 396.825 Pa

How much energy ( in joules ) is released when 0.06 kilograms of mercury is condensed to a liquid at the same temperature ?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

B. 17,705.1 J

Explanation:

The hear released when the mercury condenses into a liquid is given by:

Q=m \lambda_v

where

m = 0.06 kg is the mass of the mercury

\lambda_v is the latent heat of vaporization

For mercury, the latent heat of vaporization is \lambda_v = 296 kJ/kg, so the heat released during the process is:

Q=(0.06 kg)(296 kJ/kg)=17.76 kJ = 17,760 J

So, the closest option is

B. 17,705.1 J
