F(friction) = u F(normal) 
so, F(friction) = (.30)(60*9.81) = 177 N 
F = ma 
so, 177 = (60)a, a = 177/60 = 2.9m/s^2 
v(final)^2 = v(initial)^2+2ax 
so, 0 = 1.5^2 + 2(-2.9)x, x = 2.25/(2*-2.9) = -.38793 the negative indicates that the direction of accel is opposite of direction of speed. 
-0.39 meters is the answer.

A student pushes a 12.0 kg box with a horizontal force of 20 N. The friction force on the box is 9.0 N. Which of the following i
Hoochie [10]

The acceleration of the box is approximately 1 m/s^2

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m = 12.0 kg is the mass of the box

a is the acceleration

The net force can be written as

\sum F = F_a - F_f

where

F_a = 20 N is the applied forward force

F_f=9.0 N is the friction force

Combining the two equations,

F_a-F_f=ma

And solving for the acceleration,

a=\frac{F_a-F_f}{m}=\frac{20-9}{12}=0.9 m/s^2\sim 1 m/s^2

The change in internal energy during one complete cycle of a heat engine A. equals the net heat flow into the engine. B. equals
Stels [109]

Answer:

B. equals zero

Explanation:

Given data

one complete cycle = heat flow

solution

we have given that when heat engine complete 1 cycle change in energy = net heat flow

that is always equal to zero

from first law of thermodynamics that

ΔU = Q + W

we know ΔU is the change internal energy in system and Q is net heat transfer in system and W is  net work done in system

therefore change of internal energy during one cycle

ΔU = Ufinal -  Uinitial

ΔU  = Uinitial  -  Uinitial  = 0

As she climbs a hill a cyclist slows down from 25 mi/hr to 6mi/hr in 10 seconds what is her acceleration
vesna_86 [32]

|Acceleration| = (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed = (6 mi/hr - 25 mi/hr) = -19 mi/hr
Time for the change = 10 sec

|Acceleration| = (-19 mi/hr) / (10 sec) = -1.9 mile per hour per second

Admittedly, that's a rather weird unit.
Other units, perhaps more comfortable ones, are:

                 -6,840 mi/hr²

                   -2.79 feet/sec²

A narrow beam of light from a laser travels through air (n = 1.00) and strikes the surface of the water (n = 1.33) in a lake at
Natalka [10]

Answer:

A) d = 11.8m

B) d = 4.293 m

Explanation:

A) We are told that the angle of incidence;θ_i = 70°.

Now, if refraction doesn't occur, the angle of the light continues to be 70° in the water relative to the normal. Thus;

tan 70° = d/4.3m

Where d is the distance from point B at which the laser beam would strike the lakebottom.

So,d = 4.3*tan70

d = 11.8m

B) Since the light is moving from air (n1=1.00) to water (n2=1.33), we can use Snell's law to find the angle of refraction(θ_r)

So,

n1*sinθ_i = n2*sinθ_r

Thus; sinθ_r = (n1*sinθ_i)/n2

sinθ_r = (1 * sin70)/1.33

sinθ_r = 0.7065

θ_r = sin^(-1)0.7065

θ_r = 44.95°

Thus; xonsidering refraction, distance from point B at which the laser beam strikes the lake-bottom is calculated from;

d = 4.3 tan44.95

d = 4.293 m
