In order to slide a heavy desk across the floor at constant speed in a straight line, you have to exert a horizontal force of 40

0 Newtons. Compare the 400-Newton horizontal pushing force F to the frictional force f between the desk and the ground.
1. F < f; the frictional force is greater than the pushing force since it is such a heavy desk.
2. F = f from Newton’s first law.
3. F > f; the frictional force is always less than any other force acting on the object.
4. It depends on the direction the desk moves. 5. F = f from Newton’s third law.

Answer:

F = f from Newton’s first law.

Explanation:

since the desk is moved in a straight line at a constant speed, newton first law tell us that the two forces must be equal.

Newton's First Law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. since the table has been set in motion by the 400 N force, it will remain in motion unless it is been acted upon by an external force, and this means that the 400 N must be equal to the frictional force for it to have been in motion in the first instance.

Write one example of a physical change and one example chemical change
mojhsa [17]
Physical change = changes the physical properties (more commonly known as it's look)
Chemical change = changes the chemical properties into an entire new chemical form
Examples of physical change would be melting ice cubes or sugar cubes.
Examples of chemical change would be cooking eggs or burning paper because you're changing its chemical properties.

Calculate the tension on the rope.<br> A. 57.89 N<br> B. 32.73 N<br> C. 69.84 N<br> D. 12.55 N
Ratling [72]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{B. 32.73N}}

To calculate the tension, we must calculate the acceleration of the system.

Begin with a summation of forces:

∑F = -M₁gsinФ + T - T + M₂g

Simplify and solve for acceleration: (Tensions cancel out)

a = \frac{-M_1gsin\theta + T - T + M_2g}{M_1+M_2}

Plug in values. Let g = 10 m/s²

a = \frac{-3(10)(sin30)+8(10)}{3+8} = 5.91 m/s^{2}

Now, to find tension, let's sum up the forces acting on ONE block. For simplicity, we can look at the hanging block:

∑F = -T + W

ma = -T + W

Rearrange to solve for T:

T = W - ma

We know the acceleration, so plug in the values:

T = (8)(10) - (8)(5.91) = 32.73 N

A small light cylinder and a large heavy cylinder are released at the same time and roll down a ramp without slipping. Which one
forsale [732]

Answer:

C. Both reach the bottom at the same time.

Explanation:

For a rolling object down an inclined plane , the acceleration is given below

a = g sinθ / (1 + k² / r² )

θ is angle of inclination , k is radius of gyration , r is radius of the cylinder

For cylindrical object

k² / r² = 1/2

acceleration =  g sinθ  /( 1 + 1/2 )

= 2 g sinθ / 3  

Since it does not depend upon either mass or radius , acceleration of both the cylinder will be equal . Hence they will reach the bottom simultaneously.
