The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance by
is given by
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cs is its specific heat capacity
is the increase in temperature
For oxygen, the specific heat capacity is approximately
The variation of temperature for the sample in our problem is
while the mass is m=150 g, so the amount of heat needed is
I assume the 100 N force is a pulling force directed up the incline.
The net forces on the block acting parallel and perpendicular to the incline are
∑ F[para] = 100 N - F[friction] = 0
∑ F[perp] = F[normal] - mg cos(30°) = 0
The friction in this case is the maximum static friction - the block is held at rest by static friction, and a minimum 100 N force is required to get the block to start sliding up the incline.
Then
F[friction] = 100 N
F[normal] = mg cos(30°) = (10 kg) (9.8 m/s²) cos(30°) ≈ 84.9 N
If µ is the coefficient of static friction, then
F[friction] = µ F[normal]
⇒ µ = (100 N) / (84.9 N) ≈ 1.2
"<em>F = dP/dt. </em> The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes."
These days, we break up "the rate at which momentum changes" into its units, and then re-combine them in a slightly different way. So the way WE express and use the 2nd law of motion is
"<em>F = m·A.</em> The net force on an object is equal to the product of the object's mass and its acceleration."
The two statements say exactly the same thing. You can take either one and work out the other one from it, just by working with the units.
