Complete Question:
A 10 kg block is pulled across a horizontal surface by a rope that is oriented at 60° relative to the horizontal surface.
The tension in the rope is constant and equal to 40 N as the block is pulled. What is the instantaneous power (in W) supplied by the tension in the rope if the block when the block is 5 m away from its starting point? The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the floor is 0.2 and you may assume that the block starting at rest.
Answer:
Power = 54.07 W
Explanation:
Mass of the block = 10 kg
Angle made with the horizontal, θ = 60°
Distance covered, d = 5 m
Tension in the rope, T = 40 N
Coefficient of kinetic friction, 
Let the Normal reaction = N
The weight of the block acting downwards = mg
The vertical resolution of the 40 N force,

A mercury filled balloon would fall faster then water. Mercury is heavier.
Answer:
He can return to the spacecraft by sacrificing some of the tools employing the principle of conservation of momentum.
Explanation:
By carefully evaluating his direction back to the ship, the astronaut can throw some of his tools in the opposite direction to that. On throwing those tools of a certain mass, they travel at a certain velocity giving him velocity in the form of recoil in the opposite direction of the velocity of the tools. This is same as a gun and bullet recoil momentum conservation. It is also the principle on which the operational principles of their maneuvering unit is designed.
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) Conservation of momentum is followed
m₁ v₁ = m₂ v₂
3m x 2 = m v
v = 6 m/s
Total kinetic energy
= 1/2 x .35 x 6 ² + 1/2 x 1.05 x 2 ²
= 8.4 J
This energy must be stored as elastic energy in the spring which was released as kinetic energy on burning the cord.
Yes , the conservation of momentum will be followed in the bursting apart process. Only internal forces have been involved in the process. Two equal and opposite internal forces are created by spring which creates motion and generates kinetic energy.
They only conduct when they are in solution form, because then their ions become mobile, and the ions conduct electricity.
Hope this helps!
