0.02 °C is the resolution of thermometer B while measuring temperature.

Thermometer A= 87.6

Thermometer B=87.4°C

resolution= 87.6- 87.4°C = 0.02 °C

Heat or cold are measured in terms of temperature. It can be defined in terms of a variety of arbitrary scales and shows how heat energy naturally moves from a hotter to a cooler substance (one at a lower temperature). Even if a match burns at a considerably greater temperature than an iceberg, an iceberg has a much higher overall heat energy. The energy of a thermodynamic system differs from temperature.

Temperature, along with pressure, density, and other related qualities, is referred to as an intense property—one that is independent of the amount of material being addressed—in contrast to broad characteristics like mass or volume.

A block is pulled across a flat surface at a constant speed using a force of 50 newtons at an angle of 60 degrees above the hori

vladimir2022 [97]

The magnitude of the friction force is 25 N

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just have to analyze the forces acting on the block along the horizontal direction. We have:

The horizontal component of the pulling force, $F cos \theta$ , where F = 50 N is the magnitude and $\theta=60^{\circ}$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the horizontal; this force acts in the forward direction
The force of friction, $F_f$ , acting in the backward direction

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the block in the horizontal direction must be equal to the product between the mass of the block and its acceleration:

$\sum F_x = ma_x$

where

m is the mass of the block

$a_x$ is the horizontal acceleration

However, the block is moving at constant speed, so the acceleration is zero:

$a_x = 0$

So the equation becomes

$\sum F_x = 0$ (1)

The net force here is given by

$\sum F_x = F cos \theta - F_f$ (2)

And so, by combining (1) and (2), we find the magnitude of the friction force:

$F cos \theta - F_f = 0\\F_f = F cos \theta = (50)(cos 60^{\circ})=25 N$

An electron is placed on a line connecting two fixed point charges of equal charge but the opposite sign. The distance between t

viktelen [127]

Answer:

a) F_net = 6.48 10⁻¹⁸ ( $\frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.300-x)^2}$ ), b) x = 0.15 m

Explanation:

a) In this problem we use that the electric force is a vector, that charges of different signs attract and charges of the same sign repel.

The electric force is given by Coulomb's law

F = $k \frac{q_2q_2}{r^2}$

Since when we have the two negative charges they repel each other and when we fear one negative and the other positive attract each other, the forces point towards the same side, which is why they must be added.

F_net= ∑ F = F₁ + F₂

let's locate a reference system in the load that is on the left side, the distances are

left side - electron r₁ = x

right side -electron r₂ = d-x

let's call the charge of the electron (q) and the fixed charge that has equal magnitude Q

we substitute

F_net = k q Q ( $\frac{1}{r_1^2}+ \frac{1}{r_2^2}$ )

F _net = kqQ ( $\frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(d-x)^2}$ )

let's substitute the values

F_net = 9 10⁹ 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 4.50 10⁻⁹ ( $\frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.30-x)^2}$ )

F_net = 6.48 10⁻¹⁸ ( $\frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.300-x)^2}$ )

now we can substitute the value of x from 0.05 m to 0.25 m, the easiest way to do this is in a spreadsheet, in the table the values of the distance (x) and the net force are given

x (m) F (N)

0.05 27.0 10-16

0.10 8.10 10-16

0.15 5.76 10-16

0.20 8.10 10-16

0.25 27.0 10-16

b) in the adjoint we can see a graph of the force against the distance, it can be seen that it has the shape of a parabola with a minimum close to x = 0.15 m
