Answer:

nothing, mass is not affected by gravitational force

Explanation:

Weight is the gravitational force a planet exerts on a mass on the surface.

It is the product of the mass of an object with the gravitational acceleration that the planet produces.

The weight is the gravitational force

$W=mg$

where,

m = Mass of the object

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Mass is the property that matter has which opposes the force being applied to it. It is intrinsic to the object itself and does not change according to the gravitational force. But, the weight changes.

An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor and accelerates to the positive plate (see

siniylev [52]

Answer:

3.88 * 10^(-15) J

Explanation:

We know that the Potential energy of the electron at the beginning of its motion is equal to the Kinetic energy at the end of its motion, when it reaches the plates.

First, we get the potential and potential energy:

Electric potential = E * r

E = electric field

r = distance between plates

Potential = 2.2 * 10^6 * 0.011

= 2.42 * 10^4 V

The relationship between electric potential and potential energy is:

P. E. = q*V

q = charge of electron = 1.602 * 10^(-19) C

P. E. = 2.42 * 10^4 * 1.602 * 10^(-19)

P. E. = 3.88 * 10^(-15) J

If it takes 600 N to move a box 5 meters, how much work is done on the box?

Anika [276]

Answer:

Option C is the correct option.

Explanation:

Given,

Force = 600 N

Distance = 5 meters

Work = ?

Now,

Work = Force $\times$ distance

$= 600 \times 5$

Calculate the product

$= 3000 \:$ Joule

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

A box rests on top of a flat bed truck. The box has a mass of m = 16.0 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the box an

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1) 1.31 m/s2

2) 20.92 N

3) 8.53 m/s2

4) 1.76 m/s2

5) -8.53 m/s2

Explanation:

1) As the box does not slide, the acceleration of the box (relative to ground) is the same as acceleration of the truck, which goes from 0 to 17m/s in 13 s

$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{17 - 0}{13} = 1.31 m/s2$

2)According to Newton 2nd law, the static frictional force that acting on the box (so it goes along with the truck), is the product of its mass and acceleration

$F_s = am = 1.31*16 = 20.92 N$

3) Let g = 9.81 m/s2. The maximum static friction that can hold the box is the product of its static coefficient and the normal force.

$F_{\mu_s} = \mu_sN = mg\mu_s = 16*9.81*0.87 = 136.6N$

So the maximum acceleration on the block is

$a_{max} = F_{\mu_s} / m = 136.6 / 16 = 8.53 m/s^2$

4)As the box slides, it is now subjected to kinetic friction, which is

$F_{\mu_s} = mg\mu_k = 16*9.81*0.69 = 108.3 N$

So if the acceleration of the truck it at the point where the box starts to slide, the force that acting on it must be at 136.6 N too. So the horizontal net force would be 136.6 - 108.3 = 28.25N. And the acceleration is

28.25 / 16 = 1.76 m/s2

5) Same as number 3), the maximum deceleration the truck can have without the box sliding is -8.53 m/s2
