A block of ice(m = 14.0 kg) with an attached rope is at rest on a frictionless surface. You pull the block with a horizontal for

nadezda [96]

Answer:

a) The weight and the normal force of the block has a magnitude of 137.298 newtons and the pull force exerted on the block has a magnitude of 98 newtons.

b) The final speed of the block of ice is 9.8 meters per second.

Explanation:

a) We need to calculate the weight, normal force from the ground to the block and the pull force. By 3rd Newton's Law we know that normal force is the reaction of the weight of the block of ice on a horizontal.

The weight of the block ( $W$ ), measured in newtons, is:

$W = m\cdot g$ (1)

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the block of ice, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that $m = 14\,kg$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the magnitudes of the weight and normal force of the block of ice are, respectively:

$N = W = (14\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$N = W = 137.298\,N$

And the pull force is:

$F_{pull} = 98\,N$

The weight and the normal force of the block has a magnitude of 137.298 newtons and the pull force exerted on the block has a magnitude of 98 newtons.

b) Since the block of ice is on a frictionless surface and pull force is parallel to the direction of motion and uniform in time, we can apply the Impact Theorem, which states that:

$m\cdot v_{o} +\Sigma F \cdot \Delta t = m\cdot v_{f}$ (2)

Where:

$v_{o}$ , $v_{f}$ - Initial and final speeds of the block, measured in meters per second.

$\Sigma F$ - Horizontal net force, measured in newtons.

$\Delta t$ - Impact time, measured in seconds.

Now we clear the final speed in (2):

$v_{f} = v_{o}+\frac{\Sigma F\cdot \Delta t}{m}$

If we know that $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $m = 14\,kg$ , $\Sigma F = 98\,N$ and $\Delta t = 1.40\,s$ , then final speed of the ice block is:

$v_{f} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}+\frac{(98\,N)\cdot (1.40\,s)}{14\,kg}$

$v_{f} = 9.8\,\frac{m}{s}$

The final speed of the block of ice is 9.8 meters per second.

If a volume of air is warmed, it expands and tends to

Butoxors [25]

if a volume of air is warmed it expands due to increased translational kinetic energy as it expands it will start to cool.

<h3>When does temperature increase volume?</h3>

We can then conclude that at constant pressure, temperature and volume are directly proportional: temperature increases, volume increases; decrease temperature, decrease volume.

In this case, the higher the temperature, the greater the kinetic energy that acts on the molecules of this gas, so when the gas expands, these molecules find more space and collide less, which will cause the gas to cool.

What kind of EM waves are most dangerous to humans

zhuklara [117]

The most dangerous frequencies of electromagnetic energy are X-rays, gamma rays, ultraviolet light and microwaves. X-rays, gamma rays and UV light can damage living tissues, and microwaves can cook them. Hope this helps! =^-^=

To pull an old stump out of the ground, you and a friend tie two ropes to the stump. You pull on it with a force of 500 N to the

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

C. less than 950 N.

Explanation:

Given that

Force in north direction F₁ = 500 N

Force in the northwest F₂ = 450 N

Lets take resultant force R

The angle between force = θ

θ = 45°

The resultant force R

$R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\theta}$

$R=\sqrt{500^2+450^2+2\times 450\times 500\times cos\theta}$

R= 877.89 N

Therefore resultant force is less than 950 N.

C. less than 950 N

Note- When these two force will act in the same direction then the resultant force will be 950 N.
