A 10 kg block is pushed with a constant horizontal force of 20 n against a constant horizontal frictional force of 10 n. What is

the acceleration of the block?

Answer:

The acceleration would be a=1 m/s^2. Let's explain why.

Explanation:

Let's say the block is □

20N→□    Block is pushed with a constant horizontal force of 20N

□←10N     It is known that frictional force is the <u>opposite way</u> of the movement

So it is safe to say that there is 10 N force trying to stop the block.

In this case our net force is F_{net} = 20-10=10N

According to <u>Newton's second motion law</u>

F=m.a (m=mass, F=force, a=acceleration

F_{net} =10=10.a → a=1\frac{m^{2} }{s}

As an extra information the block also applies gravitational m.g force down but since there is no other force applies in the vertical way, ground compansate the force.

To what potential should you charge a 3.0 μf capacitor to store 1.0 j of energy?
Nimfa-mama [501]
The energy stored in a capacitor is given by:
U= \frac{1}{2}CV^2
where
U is the energy
C is the capacitance
V is the potential difference

The capacitor in this problem has capacitance
C=3.0 \mu F = 3.0 \cdot 10^{-6} F
So if we re-arrange the previous equation, we can calculate the potential V that should be applied to the capacitor to store U=1.0 J of energy on it:
V= \sqrt{ \frac{2U}{C} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 1.0 J}{3.0 \cdot 10^{-6}F} }=816 V
