Answer:
Explanation:
If the force of 2000 N is directed towards the right and the friction is directed towards the left, the 2000 N force is positive and the other is negative. To find the resultant force:
2000 - 500 = 1500 N to the right
Answer:
1) Mass that needs to be converted at 100% efficiency is 0.3504 kg
2) Mass that needs to be converted at 30% efficiency is 1.168 kg
Explanation:
By the principle of mass energy equivalence we have

where,
'E' is the energy produced
'm' is the mass consumed
'c' is the velocity of light in free space
Now the energy produced by the reactor in 1 year equals

Thus the mass that is covertred at 100% efficiency is

Part 2)
At 30% efficiency the mass converted equals

Mechanical Energy: 10.81 J given that
.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
The mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its kinetic and potential energy.

What's the weight of the pear ?
Weight = (mass) x (gravity) = (1 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 9.8 Newtons.
OK. We know there's a force of 9.8 Newtons acting downwards on the pear.
Is the pear accelerating ? No ! It's just laying there on the table.
If it's not accelerating, then we know that the net force on it must be zero.
So there must be ANOTHER force acting UPWARDS on it, to exactly
cancel out the downward force of its weight. THAT's the "normal" force ...
the upward force that the table exerts on the pear. It must also be 9.8N,
but UPwards, so that if you add it to the weight, the sum is zero.
