Bob is pushing a box across the floor at a constant speed of 1.4 m/s, applying a horizontal force whose magnitude is 65 N. Alice

is pushing an identical box across the floor at a constant speed of 2.8 m/s, applying a horizontal force. (a) What is the magnitude of the force that Alice is applying to the box? F = N (b) With the two boxes starting from rest, explain qualitatively what Alice and Bob did to get their boxes moving at different constant speeds. In order to keep the box moving twice as fast, Alice had to apply a constant force that was twice as large as the force that Bob applied. Each initially applied a force bigger than static friction to get the box moving and accelerating, then when the desired final speed was achieved they reduced the force to make the net force zero.

Answer:

a) 65 N

b) Each initially applied a force bigger than static friction to get the box moving and accelerating, then when the desired final speed was achieved they reduced the force to make the net force zero.

Explanation:

a) Here, both boxes are identical. They have different velocities but the velocities are constant hence the force Alice is applying is 65 N. Constant velocity means there is no acceleration.

b) The acceleration that Alice provided must have been different than that of Bob. But after reaching their desired speed they stopped accelerating. This would make the net force zero.

an engine has been design to work between source and the sink at temperature 177 degree Celsius and 27 degree Celsius respective
irina [24]

<u>Given data</u>

Source temperature (T₁) = 177°C = 177+273 = 450 K

Sink temperature (T₂) = 27°C = 27+273 = 300 K

Energy input (Q₁) = 3600 J ,

Work done = ?

                We know that, efficiency (η) = Net work done ÷ Heat supplied

                                                           η =   W ÷ Q₁  

                                                           W = η × Q₁

               First determine the efficiency ( η ) = ?

                                Also, we know that ( η ) = (T₁ - T₂) ÷ (T₁)

                                                                        = 33.3% = 0.333

               Now, Work done is W = η × Q₁

                                                    = 0.33 × 3600

                                                 <em>  W = 1188 J</em>

<em>Work done by the engine is 1188 J</em>

PLEASE HELP, LOOK AT PHOTO PLZ!!!
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

a) 17 km

b) 9 km

Explanation:

The distance is the length of the path.

A to C: 5 km

B to C: 4 km

C to B: 4 km

B to C: 4 km

Total distance = 5 km + 4 km + 4 km + 4 km = 17 km

Displacement is the difference between the starting point and ending point.

Displacement = 9 km − 0 km = 9 km

The shortening of a transmitted signal's wavelength and/or an increase in its frequency, which indicates that the object is
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: The Doppler effect occurs when a source of a wave is moving relative to an observer (or the observer is moving relative to the source). In this case, the apparent frequency of the sound, as heard/seen by the observer, is shifted with respect to the original frequency of the wave.

More specifically, the relationship between the apparent frequency, f', and the original frequency, f, is given by:

where:

is the velocity of the wave

is the velocity of the observer relative to the source, and it is positive if the observer is moving towards the source, and negative if the observer is moving away from the source

is the velocity of the source relative to the observer, and it is positive if the source is moving away from the observer, and negative if the source is moving towards the observer

The doppler effect occurs in many daily-life situations: for instance, when an ambulance approaches you, you hear an increase in the apparent frequency of the siren due to the Doppler effect. Another example is the movements of distant galaxies from us: when they move away from us, the apparent frequency of the light they emit decreases, so their wavelengths appear to increase towards the red color (red-shift); on the contrary, when they are moving towards us, the apparent frequency seems to increase, so the wavelength seems to decrease towards the blue color (blue-shift).
