The sketch of the two cases has been attached to this response.
<em>Case 1: The box is pushed by a horizontal force F making it to move with constant velocity.</em>
In this case, a frictional force 
is opposing the movement of the box. As shown in the diagram, it can be deduced from Newton's law of motion that;
∑F = ma -------------------(i)
Where;
∑F = effective force acting on the object (box)
m = mass of the object
a = acceleration of the object
∑F = F -
m = 50kg
a = 0 [At constant velocity, acceleration is zero]
<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>
F - = m x a
F - = 50 x 0
F - = 0
F = -------------------(ii)
<em>Case 2: The box is pushed by a horizontal force 1.5F making it to move with a constant velocity of 0.1m/s²</em>
In this case, the same frictional force is opposing the movement of the box.
∑F = 1.5F -
m = 50kg
a = 0.1m/s²
<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>
1.5F - = m x a
1.5F - = 50 x 0.1
1.5F - = 5 ---------------------(iii)
<em>Substitute </em><em> = F from equation (ii) into equation (iii) as follows;</em>
1.5F - F = 5
0.5F = 5
F = 5 / 0.5
F = 10N
Therefore, the value of F is 10N

Answer:
f = 12 cm
Explanation:
<u>Center of Curvature</u>:
The center of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Center of Curvature’ of mirror.
<u>The Radius of Curvature</u>:
The radius of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Radius of Curvature’ of mirror. It is the distance from pole to the center of curvature.
<u>Focal Length</u>:
The distance between principal focus and pole is called ‘Focal Length’. It is denoted by ‘F’.
The focal length of the spherical (concave) mirror is approximately equal to half of the radius of curvature:
where,
f = focal length = ?
R = Radius of curvature = 24 cm
Therefore,
<u>f = 12 cm</u>
Answer:
4.2 J
Explanation:
Specific heat capacity: This is defined as the amount of a heat required to rise a unit mass of a substance through a temperature of 1 K
From specific heat capacity,
Q = cmΔt.............................. Equation 1
Where Q = amount of energy absorbed or lost, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, Δt = Temperature rise.
Given: m = 1 g = 0.001 kg, Δt = 1 °C
Constant : c = 4200 J/kg.°C
Substitute into equation 1
Q = 0.001×4200(1)
Q = 4.2 J.
Hence the energy absorbed or lost = 4.2 J
Answer:
Explanation:
The equation for this is
where f is the frequency, v is the velocity, and lambda is the wavelength. Filling in:
and
which means that
the wavelength is 1.37 m, rounded to the correct number of significant digits.
