Bob is pushing a box across the floor at a constant speed of 1.7 m/s, applying a horizontal force whose magnitude is 70 N. Alice

is pushing an identical box across the floor at a constant speed of 3.4 m/s, applying a horizontal force. a. What is the magnitude of the force that Alice is applying to the box? F = N b. With the two boxes starting from rest, explain qualitatively what Alice and Bob did to get their boxes moving at different constant speeds. a. In order to keep the box moving twice as fast, Alice had to apply a constant force that was twice as large as the force that Bob applied.b. Each initially applied a force bigger than static friction to get the box moving and accelerating, then when the desired final speed was achieved they reduced the force to make the net force zero.

Answer:

a) 70 N, b) b. Each initially applied a force bigger than static friction to get the box moving and accelerating, then when the desired final speed was achieved they reduced the force to make the net force zero.

Explanation:

a) A constant speed means that magnitude of friction force is equal to the magnitude of the external force. The friction force is directly proportional to the normal force, which is equal to the weight of the box. Therefore, the magnitude of the force is 70 N.

b) Alice used initially a greater force to accelerate the box up to needed speed and later reduced the external force to keep speed constant. The right choice is option b.

Why do the graphs differ?​
melisa1 [442]

Well first graph represents rectangular hyperbola

vu = c^2 ( c is constant)

AS 1/v + 1/u = 1/f

Take1/ f to be constant c

1/v = c - 1/u

it is of the form y = - x + k

Slope = -1 having intercept k as shown in fig 2

An airplane has a momentum of 8.55 x 107 kg.m/s[S] and a velocity of 900 km/h[S]. Determine the mass of the airplane.
kow [346]

Answer:

342,000kg

Explanation:

p=mv

8.55*10^7 kg*m/s=m(900 km/h)

85,500,000 kg*m/s=m(900 km/h)

(85,500,000 kg*m/s)/(900 km/h)=m

Get same units.... 900km/h = 250m/s

m/s cancel in the division, you are left with just kg!!

85,500,000/250=342,000kg! That's it!

On a calm day with no wind, you can run a 1500-m race at a velocity of 4.0 m/s. If you run the same race on a day when you have
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The time taken to finish the race is 750 s.

Explanation:

The velocity of the person on the day of wind is slowed down by 2.0 m/s. So the person's velocity on the day of wind is 4-2=2 m/s.

The relation between time, speed and distance is t=v/d

Given d=1500 m and calculated v= 2 m/s.

t=1500/2

t=750 s.

Which of the following is NOT a valid reason that less energy is transferred at each level of the food chain?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

I'm pretty sure the answer is B because animals at the top need a lot of energy, so to make up for loss of energy at the higher levels, those organisms at the top have to consume a lot more.
