The work done is 150 joules

Explanation:

Work occurs when a force (F) acts on an object to move it some

distance (d) from the start point

→ Work done = F × d

The S.I unit of work is Joule

A force of 50 N is used to move a footstool 3 m

→ F = 50 N

→ d = 3 m

→ Work done = F × d

Substitute the values of F and d in the rule

→ Work done = 50 × 3 = 150 joules

The work done is 150 joules

A block is pulled across a flat surface at a constant speed using a force of 50 newtons at an angle of 60 degrees above the hori

vladimir2022 [97]

The magnitude of the friction force is 25 N

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just have to analyze the forces acting on the block along the horizontal direction. We have:

The horizontal component of the pulling force, $F cos \theta$ , where F = 50 N is the magnitude and $\theta=60^{\circ}$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the horizontal; this force acts in the forward direction
The force of friction, $F_f$ , acting in the backward direction

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the block in the horizontal direction must be equal to the product between the mass of the block and its acceleration:

$\sum F_x = ma_x$

where

m is the mass of the block

$a_x$ is the horizontal acceleration

However, the block is moving at constant speed, so the acceleration is zero:

$a_x = 0$

So the equation becomes

$\sum F_x = 0$ (1)

The net force here is given by

$\sum F_x = F cos \theta - F_f$ (2)

And so, by combining (1) and (2), we find the magnitude of the friction force:

$F cos \theta - F_f = 0\\F_f = F cos \theta = (50)(cos 60^{\circ})=25 N$

What does deposition mean in a sedimentary formation

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of that material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water. Deposition means that all the sediments, soil, and rocks are all compressed (tightly pressed into each other) and create sedimentary rocks.

I hope this helps! :)

You need to put a metal rod

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

-- Put the rod into the freezer for a while. As it cools,
it contracts (gets smaller) slightly.

-- Put the cylinder into hot hot water for a while. As it heats,
it expands (gets bigger) slightly.

-- Bring the rod and the cylinder togther quickly, before the
rod has a chance to warm up or the cylinder has a chance
to cool off.

-- I bet it'll fit now.

-- But be careful . . . get the rod exactly where you want it as fast
as you can. Once both pieces come back to the same temperature,
and the rod expands a little and the cylinder contracts a little, the fit
will be so tight that you'll probably never get them apart again, or even
move the rod.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

D. 4000 km

Explanation:

f = Frequency of wave that is being transmitted = 76 Hz

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of wave that is being transmitted

v = The velocity of electromagnetic waves through air = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Velocity of a wave is given by

$v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8}{76}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=3947368.42105\ m=3947.36842105 km\approx 4000\ km$

Hence, the approximate wavelength of the waves is 4000 km
