A 37 N block rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the surface and the block ar

e 0.8 and 0.4, respectively. A horizontal string is attached to the block and a constant tension is maintained in the string. What is the force of friction acting on the block if the tension is 24 N? Answer in units of N.

Answer:

The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of block = 37 N

Coefficients of static = 0.8

Kinetic friction = 0.4

Tension = 24 N

We need to calculate the maximum friction force

Using formula of friction force

f=\mu mg

Put the value into the formula

f=0.8\times37

f=29.6\ N

So, the tension must exceeds 29.6 N for the block to move

We need to calculate the frictional force acting on the block

Using formula of frictional force

f = \mu N

Put the value in to the formula

f=0.4\times37

f=14.8\ N

Hence, The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

How can electric energy be converted to heat energy?
Goshia [24]
To do that, you must pass electric current through a substance
that electrons have to spend energy to pass through. 
The substance will be one that gets warm and dissipates heat
when electric current flows through it.
We'll say that the substance has "resistance", which we can measure.
The amount of heat that appears when current flows through it
will be (current²)·(resistance).

A few examples of things used for that purpose:

-- resistors
-- burners on electric stoves
-- coils of resistor-wire in a toaster
-- aquarium heater
-- electric clothes iron
-- electric coffee pot
-- blow-dryer
-- electric hair-curling iron
-- skinny tungsten wire in a light-bulb .

A bullet of mass 120g is fired horizontally into a fixed wooden block with a speed of 20m\s. The bullet is brought to rest in a
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1) F = 24 N

2) Distance = 1 m

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass; m = 120 g = 0.12 kg

Initial velocity; u = 20 m/s

Final velocity; v = 0 m/s since it came to rest.

Time; t = 0.1 s

We can calculate acceleration from Newton's first equation of motion;

a = (v - u)/t

a = (0 - 20)/0.1

a = -200 m/s²

1) magnitude of the resistance will be;

F = ma

F = 0.12 × (-200)

F = -24 N

Since, we are dealing with the magnitude, we will take the absolute value. Thus, F = 24 N

2) To find the distance moved by the bullet, we know that;

Distance = Average speed × time

Thus;

Distance = ((v + u)/2) × t

Distance = ((0 + 20)/2) × 0.1

Distance = 1 m

Alex swims at an average speed of 45m/min. how far does he swim in 1 min 24 sec?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

63 m

Explanation:

Average speed of swimming = 45 m/min

Time = 1 minute 24 seconds

Converting time into minutes:

Formula:

Putting values, we get.

Thus, Alex swims for 63 m in 1 minute and 24 seconds.
