The force of friction is <u>34.3 N.</u>

A block of mass m slides down a plane inclined at an angle θ to the horizontal with a constant velocity.  According to Newton's first law of motion, every body continues in its state of rest or a state of uniform motion in a straight line, unless acted upon, by an external unbalanced force. This means that when balanced forces act on a body, the body moves with a constant velocity.

The free body diagram of the sliding block is shown in the attached diagram. Resolve the weight mg of the block into two components  mg sinθ along the direction of the plane and mg cosθ perpendicular to the plane . The force of friction   F acts upwards along the plane  and the normal reaction acts perpendicular to the plane.

Since the block moves down with a constant velocity, the downward force mg sinθ must be equal to the upward frictional force.

F = mg sin\theta

Substitute 7 kg for m, 9.8 m/s² for g and 30° for θ.

F = mg sin\theta = (7 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(sin30^o) =34.3 N

The force of friction is <u>34.3 N</u> up the plane.

You can test if it’s true by holding a pencil in mid air over a table and the table is supposed to be the unbalanced forced that stopped the pencil from moving at the constant velocity it was going by.

Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the Moon on a 79 kg human standing on the surface of the Moon. (Th
Luden [163]

Answer:

F= 134.92 N

Explanation:

Given that

The mass of the moon ,M = 7.4 x 10²² kg

The mass of the man ,m = 79 kg

The radius ,R= 1.7 x 10⁶ m

The force exerted by moon is given as

F=G\dfrac{Mm}{R^2}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{79\times 7.4\times 10^{22}}{(1.7\times 10^6)^2}\ N\\F=134.92 N

Therefore the force will be 134.92 N.

F= 134.92 N

Objects floating in the water, like buoys, only bob up and down when waves pass. Why do they not get pushed all the way to where
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Because as the waves propagates, the particles of the medium (molecules of water) vibrates perpendicularly (upward and downward) about their mean position and not in the direction of the waves.

Explanation:

A wave is a phenomena which causes a disturbance in a medium without any permanent deformation to the medium. Examples are; transverse wave and longitudinal wave. Waves transfer energy from one point in the medium to another.

The waves generated by water are transverse waves. Which are waves in which the vibrations of the particles of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the waves.

Thus as the waves propagates, the molecules of water vibrates up and down and not along the direction of propagation of the waves. So that the floating objects do not get pushed in the direction of the waves every time.

An electron entering the lower left side of a parallel plate capacitor and exiting at the upper right side. The initial speed of
Masja [62]

Answer:

magnitude is 1382.59 N/C

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The time taken is;

t = x / v

we substitute;

t = ( 2 × 10⁻²) / ( 5.69  × 10⁶ )

t = 3.5149 × 10⁻⁹ s

next, the acceleration is;

a = 2y/t² = [2( 0.150 × 10⁻²)] / [ ( 3.5149 × 10⁻⁹ )² ]

a =  2.42826 × 10¹⁴ m/s²

now, the electric field is;

E = ma / q

we know that;

mass of electron m = 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg,

charge of electron q = 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁹ coulomb

we substitute

E = ( 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ )(2.42826 × 10¹⁴) / 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁹

E = 2.21214 × 10⁻¹⁶  / 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁹

E = 1.3826 × 10²¹

E = 1382.59 N/C

Therefore, magnitude is 1382.59 N/C
