This question can be solved using the concept of friction energy.
The thermal energy change is b "258.4 J".
The change in thermal energy will be equal to the friction energy produced during the motion of the box.

where,
μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.4
f = force applied = 38 N
d = distance traveled by the box = 17 m
Therefore,

<u>E = 258.4 J</u>

Answer:
Hey there!
Inclined planes are used to lift heavy objects to higher places.
Hope this helps :)
By using drift velocity of the electron, the current flow is 7.20 ampere.
We need to know about drift velocity of electrons to solve this problem. The drift velocity can be determined as
v = I / (n . A . q)
where v is drift velocity, I is current, n is atom number density, A is surface area and q is the charge.
From the question above, we know that
d = 2.097 mm
r = (0.002097 / 2) m
v = 1.54 mm/s = 0.00154 m/s
ρ = 8.92 x 10³ kg/m³
q = e = 1.6 x 10¯¹⁹C
Find the atom density
n = Na x ρ / Mr
where Na is Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³), Mr is the atomic weight of copper (63.5 g/mol = 0.635 kg/mol).
n = 6.022 x 10²³ x 8.92 x 10³ / 0.635
n = 8.46 x 10²⁷ /m³
Find the current flows
v = I / (n . A . q)
0.00154 = I / (8.46 x 10²⁷ . πr² . 1.6 x 10¯¹⁹)
0.00154 = I / (8.46 x 10²⁷ . π(0.002097 / 2)² . 1.6 x 10¯¹⁹)
I = 7.20 ampere
