A boy who exerts a 300-N force on the ice of a skating rink is pulled by his friend with a force of 75 N, causing the boy to acc

Answer:

Choice a. 70\; \rm N, assuming that the skating rink is level.

Explanation:

<h3>Net force in the horizontal direction</h3>

There are two horizontal forces acting on the boy:

  • The pull of his friend, and
  • Frictions.

The boy should be moving in the direction of the pull of his friend. The frictions on this boy should oppose that motion. Therefore, the frictions on the boy would be in the opposite direction of the pull of his friend.

The net force in the horizontal direction should then be the difference between the pull of the friend, and the friction on this boy.

\text{Net force, horizontal} = 75\; \rm N - 5\; \rm N = 70\; \rm N.

<h3>Net force in the vertical direction</h3>

The net force on this boy should be zero in the vertical direction. Consider Newton's Second Law of motion. The net force on an object is proportional to its acceleration. In this question, the net force on this boy in the vertical direction should be proportional to the vertical acceleration of this boy.

However, because (by assumption) the ice rink is level, the boy has no motion in the vertical direction. His vertical acceleration will be zero. As a result, the net force on him should also be zero in the vertical direction.

<h3>Net force</h3>

Therefore, the (combined) net force on this boy would be:

\sqrt{(70\; \rm N)^2 + (0\; \rm N)^2} = 70\; \rm N.

You use 8x binoculars were used on a warbler (14cm long) in a tree 18cm away. What angle (in degrees) does the image of the warb
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The angle it subtend on the retina is  \theta_z = 0.44586^o    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The length of the warbler is  L = 14cm = \frac{14}{100} = 0.14m

      The distance from the binoculars is    d = 18cm = \frac{18}{100} = 0.18m

        The magnification of the binoculars is  M =8

Without the 8 X binoculars the  angle made with the angular size of the object  is mathematically represented as

          \theta = \frac{L}{d}

        \theta  = \frac{0.14}{0.18}

           = 0.007778 rad

Now magnification can be represented mathematically as

         M = \frac{\theta _z}{\theta}

Where \theta_z is the angle the image of the warbler subtend on your retina when the   binoculars i.e the  binoculars zoom.

So

      \theta_z = M * \theta

=>    \theta_z =8 * 0.007778

            = 0.0622222224

Generally the conversion to degrees can be mathematically evaluated as

             \theta_z = 0.062222224 * (\frac{360 }{2 \pi rad} )

              \theta_z = 0.44586^o

A piston/cylinder contains 2 kg of water at 20◦C with a volume of 0.1 m3. By mistake someone locks the piston, preventing it fro
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Hi

Final temperature = 250.11 °C

Final volume = 0,1 m3.

Process work = 0

Explanation:

The specific volume in the initial state is: v = 0.1m3/2 kg = 0.05 m3/kg.

This volume is located between the volumes as saturated liquid and saturated steam at 20 °C. For this reason the water is initially in a liquid vapor mixture. As the piston was blocked the volume remains constant and the process is isometric, also known as isocoric process, so the final temperature will be the water temperature at a saturated steam of v=0.05m3/kg, which is obtained by using steam tables for water, by linear interpolation. As follows, using table A-4 of the Cengel book 7th Edition:

v=0.05 m3/kg

v1=0.057061 m3/kg

T1=242.56°C

v2=0.049779 m3/kg

T2=250.35°C

T=\frac{T2-T1}{v2-v1} x(v-v1)+T1=\frac{250.35°C-242.56°C}{0.049779m3/kg-0.057061m3/kg}x(0.05m3/kg-0.057061m3/kg)+242.56°C=250.11°C

The process work is zero because there is no change in volume during heating:

W=PxΔv=Px0=0

where

W=process work

P=pressure

Δv=change of volume, is zero because the piston was blocked so the volume remains constant.
