A 50kg box is pulled on by a rope. The rope applies a horizontal force of 180 N to the box. What is the normal force exerted on

the box by the floor?

The normal force would be the opposing and equal force to gravity ... that is why the box isn't floating or going through the ground ... this is Newton's third law of motion

How can electric energy be converted to heat energy?

Goshia [24]

To do that, you must pass electric current through a substance
that electrons have to spend energy to pass through.
The substance will be one that gets warm and dissipates heat
when electric current flows through it.
We'll say that the substance has "resistance", which we can measure.
The amount of heat that appears when current flows through it
will be (current²)·(resistance).

A few examples of things used for that purpose:

-- resistors
-- burners on electric stoves
-- coils of resistor-wire in a toaster
-- aquarium heater
-- electric clothes iron
-- electric coffee pot
-- blow-dryer
-- electric hair-curling iron
-- skinny tungsten wire in a light-bulb .

A sharp edged orifice with a 60 mm diameter opening in the vertical side of a large tank discharges under a head of 6 m. If the

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The discharge rate is $Q = 0.0192 \ m^3 /s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter is $d = 60 \ mm = 0.06 \ m$

The head is $h = 6 \ m$

The coefficient of contraction is $Cc = 0.68$

The coefficient of velocity is $Cv = 0.92$

The radius is mathematically evaluated as

$r = \frac{d}{2}$

substituting values

$r = \frac{ 0.06 }{2}$

$r = 0.03 \ m$

The area is mathematically represented as

$A = \pi r^2$

substituting values

$A = 3.142 * (0.03)^2$

$A = 0.00283 \ m^2$

The discharge rate is mathematically represented as

$Q = Cv *Cc * A * \sqrt{ 2 * g * h}$

substituting values

$Q = 0.68 * 0.92* 0.00283 * \sqrt{ 2 * 9.8 * 6}$

$Q = 0.0192 \ m^3 /s$

A sample of a gas has a volume of 639 cm3 when the pressure is 75.9 kPa. What is the volume of the gas when the pressure is incr

const2013 [10]

Answer:

$388 cm^3$

Explanation:

For this problem, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at constant temperature, the product between pressure and volume remains constant:

$pV=const.$

which can also be rewritten as

$p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2$

In our case, we have:

$p_1 = 75.9 kPa$ is the initial pressure

$V_1 = 639 cm^3$ is the initial volume

$p_2 = 125 kPa$ is the final pressure

Solving for V2, we find the final volume:

$v_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(75.9)(639)}{125}=388 cm^3$

Lightning a. occurs when a positively charged cloud base induces a negative charge on the Earth's surface. b. travels most often

mart [117]

Answer:

c. may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.

Explanation:

Lightning is a discharge which is due to the reaction between oppositely charged charges in the clouds, or between clouds base and the Earth surface.

The motion of the cloud causes charging of clouds by friction, thus the reaction between opposite charges (jumping of charges from one cloud to another) in the cloud can lead to lightning. Also, oftentimes the bottom of a cloud is negatively charged so that this is attracted to the positive charge on the earth surface. Thus leading to a discharge called lightning.

Thus in the given question, the appropriate option is C. This implies that, lightning may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.

Red laser light from a He-Ne laser (λ = 632.8 nm) creates a second-order fringe at 53.2° after passing through the grating. What

Svetlanka [38]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of red laser light, $\lambda=632.8\ nm=632.8\times 10^{-9}\ m$

The second order fringe is formed at an angle of, $\theta=53.2^{\circ}$

For diffraction grating,

$d\ sin\theta=n\lambda$

$d=\dfrac{n\lambda}{sin\theta}$ , n = 2

$d=\dfrac{2\times 632.8\times 10^{-9}}{sin(53.2)}$

$d=1.58\times 10^{-6}\ m$

The wavelength λ of light that creates a first-order fringe at 22 is given by :

$\lambda=d\ sin\theta$

$\lambda=1.58\times 10^{-6}\ sin(22)$

$\lambda=5.91\times 10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=591\ nm$

Hence, this is the required solution.
