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>

A truck is travelling at 30km/hr with engine delivering a driving force of 800n to the road
Pavel [41]

Power = (force) x (distance / time) = force x speed .

We know the force = 800N.
We have a speed = 30km/hr, but in order to use it in the power formula,
it has to be in meters/second, so we have some work to do first.

(30 km/hr) x (1,000 m/km) x (1 hr / 3,600 sec) = 300 / 36  m/sec .

Power = (force) x (speed) = (800 N) x (300/36 m/s) = <em>6-2/3 kilowatts </em>

Work = (power) x (time) = (6,666-2/3 joule/sec) x (25sec) = <em>166,666-2/3 joules</em>.

The figure for power is slightly weird ... 746 watts = 1 horsepower,
so the truck's engine is only delivering about 8.9 horsepower.
Very fuel-efficient, but I don't think they drive trucks that way.

A woman sits on a spinning piano stool with her arms extended. When she folds her arms, which of the following occurs? Question
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The correct option is that (She decreases her moment of inertia, thereby increasing her angular speed.)

Explanation:

When an object is in circular motion, the vector that describes it is known as angular momentum. Angular momentum is conserved or constant when an object is spinning in a closed system and no external torques are applied to it. An example of conservation of angular momentum is seen when a woman is sitting on a spinning piano stool with her arms extended. Her angular momentum is conserved because the net torque on her is negligibly small as the friction is exerted very close to the pivot point.

When she folds her arms,her rate of spin increases greatly decreasing her moment of inertia. The work she does to pull in her arms results in an increase in rotational kinetic energy( that is, increase in her angular speed). I hope this helps, thanks!
