The box leaves position x=0x=0 with speed v0v0. The box is slowed by a constant frictional force until it comes to rest at posit

ion x=x1x=x1. Find FfFfF_f, the magnitude of the average frictional force that acts on the box. (Since you don't know the coefficient of friction, don't include it in your answer.)

Answer:

Magnitude of the Frictional force = (mv₀²)/2x₁

Explanation:

For the frictional force to stop the box, it has to produce the deceleration of the box; thereby being the opposing force to the box's motion.

According to Newton's first law of motion

Frictional force = (mass of the box) × (deceleration experienced by the box)

Let the mass of the box be m

Then,

Frictional force = ma

Then we can obtain the deceleration using the equations of motion

v² = u² + 2ax

u = Initial velocity = v₀ m/s

v = Final velocity = 0 m/s (since the box comes to rest at the end)

x = horizontal distance covered = (x₁ - x₀) = x₁ (since x₀ = 0)

a = ?

v² = u² + 2ax

0 = (v₀)² + 2ax₁

2ax₁ = - v₀²

a = - (v₀²)/(2x₁) (minus sign, because it's a deceleration)

Magnitude of the Frictional force = ma = (mv₀²)/2x₁

S Five particles with equal negative charges -q are placed symmetrically around a circle of radius R. Calculate the electric pot
Scrat [10]

The four distinct charges' combined potentials make up the potential in the square's center. The amount of the charge and the distance from the charge both affect the potential caused by a point charge.

Therefore, the center's total potential is V=4V1=ks4 q.

<h3>What is a charge?</h3>

Due to the physical characteristic of electric charge, charged material experiences a force when it is exposed to an electromagnetic field. An object that has no net charge is said to be neutral. Classical electrodynamics is the name given to an earlier theory of the interactions of charged particles.

You can have positive or negative electric charges (commonly carried by protons and electrons respectively). opposing charges attract one another whereas similar charges repel one another.

DESCRIBE floods and droughts. What are their effects? EXPLAIN how they can be prevented
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<u>EFFECTS: ( doughts)</u>

  1. There would be less water in the river for you and other people who live along the river to use.
  2. If we use too much water during times of normal rainfall, we might not have enough water when a drought happens.

<u>EFFECTS:( FLOODS)</u>

  1. The immediate impacts of flooding include loss of human life, damage to property, destruction of crops, loss of livestock, and deterioration of health conditions owing to waterborne diseases.
  2. power plants, roads and bridges are damaged and disrupted, some economic activities may come to a standstill, people are forced to leave their homes and normal life is disrupted.

How to prevent from flooding is :

  1. Construct buildings above flood levels.
  2. Tackle climate change

How to prevent from droughts :

  1. drought trends that may occur based on statistical and actual weather forecasts.
  2. In the U.S., the U.S. Drought Monitor provides a day-by-day visual of the drought conditions around the country.

A ray of light incident in water strikes the surface separating water from air making an angle of 10 ° with the normal to the su
labwork [276]

Answer:

a

 \theta _2  = 13^o

b

 \theta _1  =32.94^o

c

 \theta_c  =  53.05^o    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The angle of incidence is  \theta_1 =  10^o

    The refractive index of water is  n_1 = 1.3

  Generally Snell's law is mathematically represented as

          n_1 sin(\theta_1) =  n_2 sin(\theta_ 2)

Here n_2 is the refractive index of air with value  n_2 =  1

         \theta_2  is the angle of refraction

So  

        \theta _2  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{n_1 * sin(\theta _1)}{n_2} ]

=>     \theta _2  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{1.3 * sin(10)}{1} ]

=>     \theta _2  = 13^o

Given that the angle should not be greater than \theta _2 =45^o  then the angle of incidence will be

       \theta _1  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{n_2 * sin(\theta _2)}{n_1} ]

=>     \theta _1  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{1 * sin(45)}{1.3} ]

=>     \theta _1  =32.94^o

Generally for critical angle is mathematically represented as

        \theta_c  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{n_2}{n_1} ]

=>     \theta_c  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{1}{1.3} ]  

=>     \theta_c  =  53.05^o
