A sled that has a mass of 8 kg is pulled at a 50 degree angle with a force of 20 N. The force of friction acting on the sled is

2.4 N. The free-body diagram shows the forces acting on the sled.
What is the acceleration of the sled and the normal force acting on it, to the nearest tenth?

1) a = 1.3 m/s2; FN = 63.1 N
2) a = 1.6 m/s2; FN = 65.6 N
3) a = 1.9 m/s2; FN = 93.7 N
4) a = 2.2 m/s2; FN = 78.4 N

As per the question the mass of sled[m] is given as 8 kg.

The fictional force[F_{f} ] is given as 2.4 N

A force[F_{p} ] of 20 N  was exerted on the sled at angle of 50^{0}

Resolving the force into horizontal and vertical components we get -

F_{h} =F_{p} cos\theta and F_{v} =F_{p} sin\theta

Here F_{h} is the horizontal component and F_{v} is the vertical component.

F_{h} =20*cos50   =12.85575219 N

Similarly F_{v} =20*sin50=15.32088886 N

From the free body diagram we get that sum of vertical components is zero as there is no motion in vertical direction.

Hence F_{N} +F_{p} sin\theta=mg where g is the acceleration due to gravity .

⇒F_{N} =mg-F_{p} sin50

 ⇒ F_{N} =8*9.8-15.32088886  [here value of g is 9.8 m/s^2]

                      =63.1 N

The net motion of the body is along the  forward  direction.

            Hence  F_{p} cos\theta -F_{f} =ma where a is the acceleration of the body.

              ⇒a=\frac{F_{p}cos\theta -F_{f}  }{m}

                     =\frac{12.85575219 -2.4}{8}

                      =1.30 m/s^2

Hence the option A is the right answer.

A piece of steel expands 10 cm when ur is heated from 20 to 50 degrees Celsius. How much would it expand if it was heated from 2
faltersainse [42]

The steel would expand by 4. 8 * 10^-3 cm

<h3>How to determine the linear expansion</h3>

The change in length  ΔL is proportional to length  L. It is dependent on the temperature, substance, and length.

Using the formula:

ΔL= α LΔT

where  ΔL  is the change in length  L = 10cm

ΔT  is the change in temperature = 60° - 20° = 40° C

 α  is the coefficient of linear expansion = 1.2 x 10^-5 °C

Substitute into the formula

ΔL = 1.2 * 10^-5 * 10 * 40

ΔL = 4.8 * 10 ^-3 cm

Therefore, the steel would expand by 4. 8 * 10^-3 cm

Evolutionary sequence of our sun
n200080 [17]
<span>A cloud of gas and dust begins to contract under the force of gravity. In regions of star birth, we find gaseous nebulae and molecular clouds. These sites of pre-birth are dark patches called globules.The protosun collapsed. As it did, its temperature rose to about 150,000 degrees and the sun appeared very red. Its radius was about 50 present solar radii.When the central temperature reaches 10 million degrees, nuclear burning of hydrogen into helium commences.The star settles into a stable existence on the Main Sequence, generating energy via hydrogen burning. This is the longest single stage in the evolutionary history of a star, typically lasting 90% of its lifetime. Thermonuclear fusion within the Sun is a stable process, controlled by its internal structure.</span><span>The hydrogen in the core is completed burned into helium nuclei. Initially, the temperature in the core is not hot enough to ignite helium burning. With no additional fuel in the core, fusion dies out. The core cannot support itself and contracts; as it shrinks, it heats up. The rising temperature in the core heats up a thin shell around the core until the temperature reaches the point where hydrogen burning ignites in this shell around the core. With the additional energy generation in the H-burning shell, the outer layers of the star expand but their temperature decreases as they get further away from the center of energy generation. This large but cool star is now a red giant, with a surface temperature of 3500 degrees and a radius of about 100 solar radii.<span>The helium core contracts until its temperature reaches about 100 million degrees. At this point, helium burning ignites, as helium is converted into carbon (C) and oxygen (O). However, the core cannot expand as much as required to compensate for the increased energy generation caused by the helium burning. Because the expanion does not compensate, the temperature stays very high, and the helium burning proceeds furiously. With no safety valve, the helium fusion is uncontrolled and a large amount of energy is suddenly produced. This<span>helium flash </span>occurs within a few hours after helium fusion begins.The core explodes, the core temperature falls and the core contracts again, thereby heating up. When the helium burns now, however, the reactions are more controlled because the explosion has lowered the density enough. Helium nuclei fuse to form carbon, oxygen, etc..</span>The star wanders around the red giant region, developing its distinct layers, eventually forming a carbon-oxygen core.When the helium in the core is entirely converted into C, O, etc., the core again contracts, and thus heats up again. In a star like the Sun, its temperature never reaches the 600 million degrees required for carbon burning. Instead, the outer layers of the star eventually become so cool that nuclei capture electrons to form neutral atoms (rather than nuclei and free electrons). When atoms are forming by capturing photons in this way, they cause photons to be emitted; these photons then are readily available for absorption by neighboring atoms and eventually this causes the outer layers of the star to heat up. When they heat up, the outer layers expand further and cool, forming more atoms, and releasing more photons, leading to more expansion. In other words, this process feeds itself.The outer envelope of the star blows off into space, exposing the hot, compressed remnant core. This is a <span>planetary nebula </span>.</span><span>The core contacts but carbon burning never ignites in a one solar mass star. Contraction is halted when the electrons become degenerate, that is when they can no longer be compressed further. The core remnant as a surface temperature of a hot 10,000 degrees and is now a <span>white dwarf </span>.With neither nuclear fusion nor further gravitational collapse possible, energy generation ceases. The star steadily radiates is energy, cools and eventually fades from view, becoming a black dwarf.</span>

QUICKLY I AM IN THE LESSON NOWWW
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

I don't really know much about the whole stars thing, but I've written a lot of paragraphs in science

Explanation:

Remember:

  • A paragraph should be in CER formation: Claim (hypothesis/discovery), Evidence, and Reasoning
  • Your reasoning should never start with I believe or I think, your reasoning and evidence are 100% fact based
  • The actual hypothesis should only be 1-2 sentences and be straight to the point

Include:

  • for your hypothesis, keywords relating to your subject, I'm assuming  for your topic you should include things like marking, telescope, stars, etc.
  • why you believe your hypothesis is true
  • so use prior knowledge to justify your hypothesis
