The correct answer is B. Fuse.

Fuses were commonly used in houses up to recent ages, when circuit breakers became the more popular options, as they don't have to be changed every time they melt, since they don't melt.

You find it takes 200 N of horizontal force tomove an unloaded pickup truck along a level road at a speed of2.4 m/s. You then lo
IgorC [24]

ANSWER:

F(h)= 230 N is the horizontal force you will need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

F(h) is Horizontal Force = 200 N

V is Speed = 2.4 m/s

The total weight increase by 42%

coefficient of rolling friction decrease by 19%

Since the velocity is constant so acceleration is zero; a=0

Now the horizontal force required to move the pickup is equal to the frictional force.

F(h) = F(f)

F(h) = mg* u

m is mass

g is gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

200 = mg*u

Since weight increases by 42% and friction coefficient decreases by 19%

New weight = 1+0.42 = 1.42 = (1.42*m*g)

New friction coefficient = μ = 1 - 0.19 = 0.81 = 0.81 u

F(h) = (0.81μ) (1.42 m g)

       = (0.81) (1.42) (μ m g)

       = (0.81) (1.42) (200)

       = 230 N

A 3 kg rock sits on a 0.8 meter ledge. If it is pushed off, how fast will it be going at the bottom?
andrey2020 [161]

As long as it sits on the shelf, its potential energy
relative to the floor is . . .

   Potential energy =      (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =

                                       (3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.8m) = <u>23.52 joules</u> .

If it falls from the shelf and lands on the floor, then it has exactly that
same amount of energy when it hits the floor, only now the 23.52 joules
has changed to kinetic energy.

   Kinetic energy =                                          (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²

                                                 23.52 joules = (1/2) x (3 kg) x (speed)²

Divide each side by  1.5 kg :     23.52 m²/s² = speed²

Take the square root of each side:    speed = √(23.52 m²/s²) =  <em>4.85 m/s </em> (rounded)
