Nicolaus copernicus was a renaissance-era mathematician and astronomer who formulated a model of the universe that placed the sun rather than the earth at the center of the universe , in all likelihood indepently of aristarchus of samos who had formulated such a model some eighteen centuries earlier.

A 30.4-newton force is used to slide a 40.0-newton crate a distance of 6.00 meters at constant speed along an incline to a verti
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Hi there!

Since the crate is being slid at a constant speed, the forces sum to 0 N. In this instance, the following forces occur in the axis of interest:

Wsinθ = downward acceleration along incline due to gravity (N)

Fκ = kinetic friction force along incline (N)

A = applied force (N)

The acceleration due to gravity and friction force act in the same direction, so:

Wsinθ + Fκ = A

Solve for sinθ using right triangle trigonometry:

sinθ = O/H = 3/6 = 0.5

Rearrange the equation for the force of kinetic friction and solve:

Fκ = A - 0.5W

Fκ = 30.4 - 20 = 10.4 N

Now, recall that:

Work = Force × displacement (W = F × d)

Since the box's displacement is in the same axis as the force but OPPOSITE direction, we must use:

W = Fdcosθ

Angle between displacement and friction force is 180°.

cos(180) = -1

Work done by friction = -Fd = -10.4(6) = -62.4 J

If the gradient of an Extension versus Force graph was found to be 5.6, then what is the value of the spring constant? *
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

5.6

Explanation:

F=kx is the formula for spring force.  If Extension versus Force was graphed, a linear relation would appear, where the slope is the k value, aka the spring constant.

A rock weighs 110 N in air and has a volume of 0.00337 m3 . What is its apparent weight when submerged in water? The acceleratio
pickupchik [31]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the rock in air, W = 110 N

Since, W = mg

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{110\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}

m = 11.22 kg

We need to find the apparent weight of the rock when it is submerged in water. Apparent weight is equal to the weight of liquid displaced i.e.

M=d\times V

d is the density of water, d=1000\ kg/m^3

V is the volume of rock, V=0.00337\ m^3

M=1000\ kg/m^3\times 0.00337\ m^3

M = 3.37 kg

The apparent weight in water, W = m - M

W=7.85\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2

W = 76.93 N

So, the apparent weight of the rock is 76.93 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
