Three blocks are arranged in a stack on a frictionless horizontal surface. The bottom block has a mass of 37.0 kg. A block of ma

ss 18.0 kg sits on top of it and a 16.0 kg block sits on top of the middle block. A downward vertical force of 170 N is applied to the top block. What is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the bottom block on the middle block?

Answer:

N₂ = 503.8 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of bottom block = 37 Kg

mass of middle block = 18 Kg

mass of the top block = 16 Kg

force acting on the top block = 170 N

force on the block at top

N₁ be the normal force from block at middle

now,

N₁ = 170 + m g

N₁ = 170 + 16 x 9.8

now, force on block at middle

N₂ be the normal force exerted by the bottom block

N₂ = N₁ + m₂ g

N₂ = 326.8 + 18 x 9.8

N₂ = 503.8 N

hence, normal force by bottom block is equal to N₂ = 503.8 N

viva [34]

Given;

V = 230V

Power, P = 100W

time, t = 2hrs = 7200s

from,

P = IV

and Energy, E= Pt

E = 100*7200

E = 720000 Joules

E = 720KJ

block of mass 0.5kg on a horizontal surface is attached to a horizontal spring of negligible mass and spring constant 50N/m . Th
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the block is 0.5kg

m = 0.5kg.

The spring constant is 50N/m

k =50N/m.

When the spring is stretch to 0.3m

e=0.3m

The spring oscillates from -0.3 to 0.3m

Therefore, amplitude is A=0.3m

Magnitude of acceleration and the direction of the force

The angular frequency (ω) is given as

ω = √(k/m)

ω = √(50/0.5)

ω = √100

ω = 10rad/s

The acceleration of a SHM is given as

a = -ω²A

a = -10²×0.3

a = -30m/s²

Since we need the magnitude of the acceleration,

Then, a = 30m/s²

To know the direction of net force let apply newtons second law

ΣFnet = ma

Fnet = 0.5 × -30

Fnet = -15N

Fnet = -15•i N

The net force is directed to the negative direction of the x -axis

How much heat is released as a 5.89 kg block of aluminum cools from 462 °C to 315 °C. The specific heat capacity of aluminum is
s2008m [1.1K]
Mass, m = 5890g
Change in temperature, θ = Final_temperature - Initial_temperature
= 315 - 462°C
= -147°C

Specific heat capacity of aluminum, c = 0.900 J/(g*K) 
=mcθ
=5890g x 0.900 J/(g*K) x -147°C
=-779,247j

Answer would be C.

Two long parallel wires carry currents of 20 a and 5.0 a in opposite directions. the wires are separated by 0.20 m. what is the
Alex777 [14]
The two wires carry current in opposite directions: this means that if we see them from above, the magnetic field generated by one wire is clock-wise, while the magnetic field generated by the other wire is anti-clockwise. Therefore, if we take a point midway between the two wires, the resultant magnetic field at this point is just the sum of the two magnetic fields, since they act in the same direction.

Therefore, we should calculate the magnetic field generated by each wire and then calculate their sum. We are located at a distance r=0.10 m from each wire. 

The magnetic field generated by wire 1 is:
B_1= \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}= \frac{(4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} NA^{-2} )(20 A)}{2 \pi (0.10 m)}=  4 \cdot 10^{-5}T

The magnetic field generated by wire 2 is:
B_2= \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}= \frac{(4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} NA^{-2} )(5.0 A)}{2 \pi (0.10 m)}= 1 \cdot 10^{-5}T

And so, the resultant magnetic field at the point midway between the two wires is
B=B_1 + B_2 = 4 \cdot 10^{-5} T + 1 \cdot 10^{-5}T=5 \cdot 10^{-5} T
