Answer:

B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.

Explanation:

The force of friction is given by

F_s = \mu N

where \mu is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force.

When the student pulls on the block with force F_p at an angle \theta, the normal force on the block becomes

N  = Mg- F_psin(\theta)

and hence the frictional force becomes

F_s = \mu (Mg- F_psin(\theta)).

Now, as we increase \theta, sin(\theta) increases which as a result decreases the normal force Mg- F_psin(\theta), which also means the frictional force decreases; Hence choice B stands true.

<em>P.S: Choice D is tempting but incorrect since the weight </em>W=mg<em> is independent of the external forces on the block. </em>

5. the combustion of a single molecule of methane produces about 10 ev of energy. a methane molecule has a mass of 16 amu. the f
Alchen [17]

The mass of methane will produce as much energy as a single gram of uranium-235 1,287 kilograms of methane. Option D is correct.

<h3>What is uranium?</h3>

Uranium, with the atomic number 92 and the symbol U in the periodic table, is a weakly radioactive element. One of the heavy metals that may be used as a concentrated energy source is uranium.

Given data;

⇒One mole of U-235 = 235 grams

=> 1 gram of U-235 = 1/235 moles

⇒1 mole of U-235 = 6.023 x 10²³ atoms

The no of atoms is;

=> 1/235 moles of U-235

⇒N = 6.023 x 10²³/235 atoms

⇒N=25.6 x 10²⁰ atoms

If one atom of U-235 gives is 189 x 10⁶ eV energy,25.6 x 10²⁰ atoms of U-235 gives;

=> 25.6 x 10²⁰ atoms of U-235 gives;

E = 25.6 x 10²⁰ x 189 x 10⁶

E= 4.8 x 10²⁹ eV energy

One methane molecule produces;

E = 10 eV of energy

=> To produce 4.8 x 10²⁹ eV energy, no. of molecules required;

= 4.8 x 10²⁸

6.032 x 10²³ molecules of methane = 16 gms

=> 4.8 x 10²⁸ molecules of methane = 16 x 4.8 x 10²⁸/ 6.032 x 10²³ gms

m= 12.75 x 10⁵ gms

m= 1275 kilograms of methane

m≅ 1287 kilograms of methane

1 gram of U-235 has the same amount of energy as 1287 kilograms of methane.

Hence option D is correct,

A stone is tied to a 0.85-meter cord. it is swung in a circle at a constant rate of 6.0 m/s. what is the centripetal acceleratio
Andrei [34K]

Answer:42.4m/s^2

Explanation:

Velocity(v)=6m/s

Radius(r)=0.85 meter

Centripetal acceleration=(v x v) ➗ r

Centripetal acceleration=(6 x 6) ➗ 0.85

Centripetal acceleration=36 ➗ 0.85

Centripetal acceleration=42.4

A charge alters the space around it. What is this alteration of space called? Electric ether Electric Force Electric field Charg
ycow [4]

Explanation:

A charge alters the space around it. This alteration of space is called the electric field. It is also defined as the electric force acting on a charged particle per unit test charge. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{F}{q}

Where

F is the electric force, F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

The direction of electric field is in the direction of electric force. For a positive charge, the direction of electric field lines are outwards and for a negative charge, the direction of field lines are inwards.

Hence, the correct option is (c) "electric field".
