A 50.0-kg box is being pulled along a horizontal surface by means of a rope that exerts a force of 250 n at an angle of 32.0° ab

Phoenix [80]

According to Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:
$\sum F = ma$ (1)

we are only concerned about the horizontal direction, so there are only two forces acting on the box in this direction:
- the horizontal component of the force exerted by the rope, which is equal to
$F_x = F cos \theta = (250N)(\cos 32.0^{\circ} )=212.0 N$
- the frictional force, acting in the opposite direction, which is equal to
$F_f = \mu mg=(0.350)(50.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=171.7 N$

By applying Newton's law (1), we can calculate the acceleration of the box:
$F_x - F_f = ma$
$a= \frac{F_x - F_f}{m}= \frac{212.0 N-171.7 N}{50.0 kg} =0.81 m/s^2$

Complete the ray diagram and label incident ray, refracted ray, angle of incidence, and angle of refraction

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Solution

verified

Verified by Toppr

(a) The labelled diagram is shown.

(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. Refractive index of diamond is the ratio of the speed of light in air to the speed of light in diamond.i.e.,

μ=

Speedoflightindiamond

Speedoflightinair

and, the ratio of these velocities is 2.42. i.e., This means that the speed of light in diamond will reduce by a factor of 2.42 as compared to its speed in air. In other words, the speed of light in diamond is

1/2.42

times the speed of light in vacuum.

Explanation:

a) Draw and label the diagram given :

(i) Incident ray

(ii) Refracted ray

(iii) Emergent ray

(iv) Angle of reflection

(v) Angle of deviation

(v) Angle of emergence

(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. What is the meaning of this statement in relation to speed of light?

Somebody please explain how to solve this. Thanks in advance!

Jobisdone [24]

work done is product of force and displacement of point of application of force

so here we have to check the product of force and displacement both

Now we will put the least to maximum work in the following order

1. -A man exerts strenuous effort in pushing a stationary wall

2. -A flea pushes a speck of dirt 1 cm

3. -A farmer pushes a 2 kg wheelbarrow 20 m

4. -A cannon launches a 3 kg cannonball a distance of 200

5. -A 2000 kg car travels 400 m down a road

6. -Space shuttle Atlantis launches from the ground into near-Earth orbit

A force of 10 N acts on an object with a mass of 10 kg. What is its acceleration? A. 1 m/s2 B. 10 m/s2 C. 2 m/s2 D. 5 m/s2

Akimi4 [234]

The acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is $\mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}$

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force acting on a body will be directly proportional to the mass of the body as well as acceleration exerted by the body. So, the net external force acting on any object will be equal to the product of mass of the object with acceleration exerted by the object. Thus,

$Force = Mass \times Acceleration$

So,

$Acceleration=\frac{\text {Force}}{\text {Mass}}$

As the force acting on the object is stated as 10 N and the mass of the object is given as 10 kg, then the acceleration will be

$Acceleration =\frac{10 \mathrm{N}}{10 \mathrm{kg}}=1 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

So, the acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is $\mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}$
