suppose that a block is pulled 16 meters across a floor. what amount of work is done if the force used to drag the block is 22n
kompoz [17]

Work = (force) x (distance)

Work = (22 N) x (16 m)

<em>Work = 352 Joules</em>

A person pushes horizontally with a force of 220. N on a 61.0 kg crate to move it across a level floor. The coefficient of kinet
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

(a) 161.57 N

(b) 0.958 m/s^2

Explanation:

Force applied, F = 220 N

mass of crate, m = 61 kg

μ = 0.27

(a) The magnitude of the frictional force,

f = μ N

where, N is the normal reaction

N = m x g = 61 x 9.81 = 598.41 N

So, the frictional force, f = 0.27 x 598.41

f = 161.57 N

(b) Let a be the acceleration of the crate.

Fnet = F - f = 220 - 161.57

Fnet = 58.43 N

According to newton's second law

Fnet = mass x acceleration

58.43 = 61 x a

a = 0.958 m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the crate is 0.958 m/s^2.

An electric filament lamp is connected to a power supply and switched on.
ladessa [460]
This is because of of the heating effect of a current. The glow is a result of current passing through the filament. The current experiences resistance as a result heat is generated. When resistance is at zero, there potential differences is not needed hence temperature generated will be at a constant.

A submersible pump is put under the water at the bottom of a well and is used to push water up through a pipe. What minimum outp
Maslowich

Answer:

695800 N/m^2 or Pa

Explanation:

Height of the water from the ground H  =  71 m

Acceleration due to gravity g =9.8 m/s^2

density of water ρ= 1000 kg/m^3

The minimum output gauge pressure to make water reach height H

P= ρgH

= 1000×9.8×71= 695800 N/m^2 or Pa
