When multiple forces are at work on an object, the net force is called a <em>resultant</em>, because it's a sum of vectors, and a sum of vectors is called their resultant.

A block has two strings attached to it on opposite ends. One string has a force of 5 N,
juin [17]

Unless you have a diagram to include or any other additional info, I'll assume the block is being pulled by two opposing forces along the horizontal surface.

Horizontally, the block is under the influence of

• one rope pulling in one direction with magnitude 15 N,

• the other rope pulling in the opposite direction with mag. 5 N, and

• friction, opposing the direction of the block's motion, with mag. 3 N.

It stands to reason that the block is accelerating in the direction of the larger pulling force.

(A) By Newton's second law, we have

15 N + (-5 N) + (-3 N) = <em>m</em> (1 m/s²)

where <em>m</em> is the mass of the block. Solve for <em>m</em> :

7 N = <em>m</em> (1 m/s²)

<em>m</em> = (7 N) / (1 m/s²)

<em>m</em> = 7 kg

(B) The friction force is proportional to the normal force, so that if <em>f</em> is the mag. of friction and <em>n</em> is the mag. of the normal force, then <em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em> where <em>µ</em> is the coefficient of friction.

The block does not bounce up and down, so its vertical forces are balanced, which means the normal force and the block's weight (mag. <em>w</em>) cancel out:

<em>n</em> + (-<em>w</em>) = 0

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em>

<em>n</em> = <em>m</em> <em>g</em>

where <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s² is the mag. of the acceleration due to gravity.

<em>n</em> = (7 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

<em>n</em> = 68.6 N

Then

3 N = <em>µ</em> (68.6 N)

<em>µ</em> = (3 N) / (68.6 N)

<em>µ</em> ≈ 0.044

- when a gas changes directly to a solid

- latent heat is released

- physical change, NOT a chemical change

A circular coil of wire having a diameter of 20.0 cm and 3000 turns is placed in the earth's magnetic field with the normal of t
Bess [88]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Diameter of the coil, d = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Radius of the coil, r = 0.1 m

Number of turns, N = 3000

Induced EMF, \epsilon=1.5\ V

Magnitude of Earth's field, B=10^{-4}\ T

We need to find the angular frequency with which it is rotated. The induced emf due to rotation is given by :

\epsilon=NBA\omega

\omega=\dfrac{\epsilon}{NBA}

\omega=\dfrac{1.5}{3000\times 10^{-4}\times \pi (0.1)^2}

\omega=159.15\ rad/s

So, the angular frequency with which the loop is rotated is 159.15 rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of the following is a TRUE
DENIUS [597]

The statement that is the most true regarding the states of matter is the first statement.

A. Most matter on Earth exists as a solid, liquid, or gas.

This is correct since most of the matter on Earth exists in those 3 states, meanwhile plasma is not a state that most of matter on earth is found in since it is mostly associated to stars and the external galactic regions.

Therefore, B is incorrect.

C is false, since almost of all of the matter on earth can transform and change through each of the 3 states of matter, solid, liquid, and gas.

D is false since most of the matter in universe is actually made out of plasma instead of a liquid. In fact, over 99% of the known universe's matter is said to consist of plasma.
