The weight of the box is (mass) x (gravity) = (50 kg) x (9.8m/s²) = 490 newtons.

If the box is sliding at constant speed, and not speeding up or slowing down,
that means that the horizontal forces on it add up to zero. 

Since you're pushing on it with 53N in <em><u>that</u></em> direction, friction must be pulling
on it with 53N in the <u><em>other</em></u> direction.

 The 53N of friction is (the weight) x (the coefficient of kinetic friction).

                                                  53N  =  (490N) x (coefficient).

Divide each side by  490N :  Coefficient = (53N) / (490N)  =  0.1082 .

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, that's    <em>0.11 </em>.      (choice 'd')

What is the SI unit for kinetic energy
trapecia [35]
The easiest way to build a unit for energy is to remember that
'work' is energy, and  
                                       Work = (force) x (distance).

So energy is                   (unit of force) x (unit of distance)

                   [Energy]  =       (Newton)            (meter) .

'Newton' itself is a combination of base units, so
energy is really
                             (kilogram-meter/sec²)      (meter)

                       =           kilogram-meter² / sec² .

That unit is so complicated that it's been given a special,
shorter name:
                                       Joule .

It doesn't matter what kind of energy you're talking about.
Kinetic, potential, nuclear, electromagnetic, food, chemical,
muscle, wind, solar, steam ... they all boil down to Joules.

And if you generate, use, transfer, or consume 1 Joule of
energy every second, then we say that the 'power' is '1 watt'.

In a chemical reaction, molecules of hydrogen gas (H2) react with molecules of oxygen gas (O2) in a sealed reaction chamber to p
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that the molecules of hydrogen gas (H_2) react with molecules of oxygen gas (O_2) in a sealed reaction chamber to produce water (H_2O).

The governing equation for the reaction is

2H_2 +O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O

From the given, the only fact that can be observed that 2 moles of H_2 and 1 mole of O_2 reacts to produce 2 moles of H_2O.

As the mass of 1 mole of H_2 = 2 grams ... (i)

The mass of 1 mole of O_2 = 32 grams ...(ii)

The mass of 1 mole of H_2O = 18 grams (iii)

Now, the mass of the reactant = Mass of 2 moles of H_2 + mass 1 mole of  O_2

= 2 \times 2 + 32  [ using equations (i) and (ii)]

=4+32 = 36 grams.

Mass of the product = Mass of 2 moles of H_2O

=2\times 18 [ using equations (iii)]

=36 grams

As the mass of reactants = mass of the product.

So, mass is conserved.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

20 cubic inches of a gas with an absolute pressure of 5 psi is compressed until its pressure reaches 10 psi. What's the new volu
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

B. V_{f}= 10\,cubic\,inches

Explanation:

Assuming we are dealing with a perfect gas, we should use the perfect gas equation:

PV=nRT

With T the temperature, V the volume, P the pressure, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of mol, we are going to use the subscripts i for the initial state when the gas has 20 cubic inches of volume and absolute pressure of 5 psi, and final state when the gas reaches 10 psi, so we have two equations:

P_{i}V_{i}=n_{i}RT_{i} (1)

P_{f}V_{f}=n_{f}RT_{f} (2)

Assuming the temperature and the number of moles remain constant (number of moles remain constant if we don't have a leak of gas) we should equate equations (1) and (2) because T_{i}=T_{f}, n_{i}=n_{f} and R is an universal constant:

P_{i}V_{i}= P_{f}V_{f}, solving for V_{f}

V_{f} =\frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{P_{f}} =\frac{(5)(20)}{10}

V_{f}= 10 cubic\,inches

A(n) ________ microscope keeps an object in focus when the objective lens is changed.
Anvisha [2.4K]

Parfocal is the term used to describe a microscope that maintains focus when the objective lenses are replaced.

<h3>What is the name of the objective lens ?</h3>

For observing minute features within a specimen sample, a high-powered objective lens, often known as a "high dry" lens, is perfect. You can see a very detailed image of the specimen on your slide thanks to the 400x total magnification that a high-power objective lens and a 10x eyepiece provide.

The four objective lenses on your microscope are for scanning (4x), low (10x), high (40x), and oil immersion (100x).

The first-stage lens used to create a picture from electrons leaving the specimen is referred to as the "objective lens." The objective lens is the most crucial component of the imaging system since the quality of the images is determined by how well it performs (resolution, contrast, etc.,).
