A rope is pulling a sled is sloped at 25 degrees upward at the point of contact. The tension in the rope is 40.0N. What is the h

T = 40.0 N

angle = 25°

Trigonometric ratios:

sin(25°) = vertical component of the force / force

cos(25°) = horizontal component of the force / force

tan (25°) = vertical compoent of the force / horizontal component of the force.

From cos(25°) you can find the horizontal component of the force:

horizontal component of the force = force * cos(25°)

The force is the tension, 40.0 N.

horizontal component of the force = 40.0 N * cos (25°) = 36.25 N

Answer: 36.25 N

A jewellery melts 500g of Silver to pour into a mould. Calculate how much energy was released as the silver solidified.
irga5000 [103]

When silver is poured into the mould the it will solidify

In this process the phase of the Silver block will change from liquid to solid.

This phase change will lead to release in heat and this heat is known as latent heat of fusion.

The formula to find the latent heat of fusion is given as

Q = mL

here given that

m = mass = 500 g

L = 111 kJ/kg

now we can find the heat released

Q = 0.5 * 111 kJ

Q = 55.5 kJ

So it will release total heat of 55.5 kJ when it will solidify

George is applying a downward force of 50N to and object that has a mass of 50kg. What is the normal force (FN) of the object wh
attashe74 [19]

The normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction

<u>Explanation:</u>

As George is applying a downward force, the normal force will be in the upward direction. The normal force will be exerted due to the acceleration due to gravity exerted on the object.

So, as per Newton's second law, the normal force acting on the object can be measured by the product of mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity acting on the object.

But as the acceleration due to gravity is a downward acting acceleration and the normal force is a upward acting force, so the acceleration will be having a negative sign in the formula.

Normal\ force = Mass \times Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity

Here, acceleration due to gravity g = -10 m/s² and mass is given as 50 kg, then

Normal force = 50 × (-10) = -500 N

So, the normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction.

Give an example in which a small force exerts a large torque. give another example in which a large force exerts a small torque.
goldenfox [79]
<span>Since the torque involves the product of force times lever arm, a small force can exert a greater torque than a larger force if the small force has a large enough lever arm.

With a large force exerts a small torque is a gate, hinged in its vertical line (axis). When pushed from a point near to the hinge, a very large amount is needed to open the gate.

A ball is thrown upwards at an unknown speed. in a time of
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

a)  Initial speed of the ball = 14.45 m/s

b) At height 6 m speed of ball = 9.55 m/s

c) Maximum height reached = 10.65 m

Explanation:

a)  We have equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, where s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken and a is the acceleration.

s = 6 m, t = 0.5 seconds, a = acceleration due to gravity value = -9.8m/s^2

 Substituting

    6=u*0.5-\frac{1}{2} *9.8*0.5^2\\ \\ u=14.45m/s

 Initial speed of the ball = 14.45 m/s

 b) We have equation of motion v^2=u^2+2as, where v is the final velocity

   s = 6 m, u = 14.45 m/s, a = -9.8m/s^2

    Substituting

        v^2=14.45^2-2*9.8*6\\ \\ v=9.55m/s

  So at height 6 m speed of ball = 9.55 m/s

c) We have equation of motion v^2=u^2+2as, where v is the final velocity

   u = 14.45 m/s, v =0 , a = -9.8m/s^2

   Substituting

     0^2=14.45^2-2*9.8*s\\ \\ s=10.65 m

  Maximum height reached = 10.65 m
