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

An RL series circuit is connected to an ac generator with a maximum emf of 20 V. If the maximum potential difference across the
Rama09 [41]

If the maximum emf of the ac generator is 20 V and the maximum potential difference across the resistor is 16 V Then the maximum potential difference across the inductor is 4 V.

Calculation:

Step-1:

It is given that the RL circuit is connected to a 20 V ac generator. The maximum potential difference across the resistor is 16 V. It is required to find the maximum potential drop across the inductor.

Step-2:

The maximum emf of the generator is equal to the sum of the maximum potential difference across the resistor and the maximum potential difference across the inductor.

Therefore,

The maximum potential difference across the inductor + Maximum maximum potential difference across the resistor = Maximum emf of the generator

Thus,

Maximum maximum potential difference across the inductor + 16 V = 20 V

Therefore,

Maximum maximum potential difference across the inductor = 20 V - 16 V = 4 V

Visually, how can you distinguish between an ac and dc power supply?
Temka [501]

Answer:

By the use of slow motion camera.

Explanation:

Visually, it is very hard to differentiate between an ac and dc power supply. But Since, we that In Ac supply polarity changes 100 times in a second ( because frequency of ac supply is 50 Hz generally). Whereas, Dc gives a steady power supply. So, in slow motion camera we can easily capture the flickering light tubes which won't happen in case of dc supply.

Why do things become hot or cold?<br> Relate to Thermal Energy and The Law of Conservation of Energy
Mekhanik [1.2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Things become hot and cold because of the transfer of energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The energy possessed by an object or system is called thermal energy and heat is the flow of this energy. While the law of conversation of energy states that energy is not destroyed or created, it just transfers from one object to another.  

When a hot object is placed in normal conditions, it transfers heat to the environment until both are at the same temperature and heat transfers from the environment to the cold objects placed in normal conditions.
