Answer: positive

Explanation: according to newton's second law of motion, the applied force (pull) will produce a motion for the box defined by the formulae

f = ma, where m is the mass of the box and a is the acceleration.

But due to friction, a force of the same magnitude but opposite in direction to the push is applied, hence we have that

f - fr = ma

Where fr is the frictional force.

As we can see from the formulae, f (push) is responsible for a positive work while fr (friction) will bring about a negative work done.

Describe what happens when heat is removed from a system

OleMash [197]

This happens at the boiling temperature of every substance that can vaporize. At the boiling temperature, adding heat energy converts the liquid into a gas WITHOUT RAISING THE TEMPERATURE. Adding heat to a boiling liquid is an important exception to general rule that more heat makes a higher temperature.

What happens if two black holes collide

blagie [28]

When two black holes spiral around each other and ultimately collide, they send out gravitational waves - ripples in space and time that can be detected with extremely sensitive instruments on Earth. ... If confirmed, it would be the first known light flare from a pair of colliding black holes.

A mover loads a crate onto a truck bed 1.6m from the street using a ramp that is 4.6m long. What is a mechanical advantage?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 2.875

Explanation:

Given:

A diagram is shown below for the above scenario.

Length of ramp (Effort arm) = 4.6 m

Height of truck bed ( Resistance length) = 1.6 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) is the ratio of effort arm and resistance length.

So, mechanical advantage is given as,

$MA=\frac{\textrm{Effort arm}}{\textrm{Resistance length}}= \frac{4.6}{1.6}=2.875$

Why is everything spinning? Moons, planets and stars all rotate on their axes, moons orbit planets, planets orbit stars, spiral

kow [346]

Answer:

Conservation of angular momentum

Explanation:

When the objects spread in universe after big bang, because of the tremendous force , they gained angular momentum and started to rotate. Since, then the object continue to rotate on their axis because of conservation of angular momentum. In vacuum of space there no other forces that can stop these rotation, therefore, they continue to rotate.
