<span>This is not a violation of entropy principle, because this law is not violated in any way as it applies to both real an ideal situations independently. The entropy of a real system always raises and is an irreversible process.</span>

Two movers are pushing a large crate with a force of 60.0 n each. one pushes north, the other east. what is the equilibrant forc
romanna [79]
To get the solution you must need to draw a force triangle. Attach the head of the 60N north force arrow with the tail of the 60N east force arrow. The subsequent is the arrow connecting he tail and head of the two arrows. 
You get a right angled triangle, and the resultant is (60^2 + 60^2) ^0.5 = 84.85 N or 85 N northeast.

A child pushes a 100 kg refrigerator with a force of 50 N, but the refrigerator does not move. Suppose the coefficient of static
faust18 [17]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Since the refrigerator doesn’t move, that means the force of friction equals the amount of force the child exerts on the fridge. If the friction force were greater than the force by the child, the fridge would start accelerating towards the child. If it were less than the force the child exerted, the fridge would start accelerating away from the child. Therefore, the net force must be 0, in this case, the friction force is equal to the force the child exerted, for it to stay at rest (as Newton’s First Law stated).

I hope this helps! :)

A child rides a bicycle from rest, reaching a velocity of 3.8 m/s [E] after 4.7 s. What is the acceleration of the bicycle?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

0.81 m/s^2

Explanation:

A child rides a bicycle from rest

The child reaches a velocity of 3.8m/s

The time is 4.7 secs

Therefore the acceleration can be calculated as follows

v= u + at

3.8= 0 + a(4.7)

3.8= 0 + 4.7a

3.8-0= 4.7a

3.8= 4.7a

a= 3.8/4.7

= 0.81 m/s^2

Hence the acceleration is 0.81 m/s^2

A high fountain of water is located at the center of a circular pool. Not wishing to get his feet wet, a student walks around th
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The fountain is 3.43 m high.

Explanation:

Circumference of the pool = 15 m.

C = 2\pir

where C is the circumference and r its radius.

r = \frac{C}{2\pi }

 = \frac{15}{2(\frac{22}{7}) }

r = 2.3864

radius of the pool = 2.40 m

So that the height of the fountain, h, can be determined by applying trigonometric function.

Tan θ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Tan 55 = \frac{h}{2.4}

h = Tan 55 x 2.4

  = 1.4282 x 2.4

  = 3.4277

h = 3.43 m

The height of the fountain is 3.43 m.
