An overnight rainstorm has caused a major roadblock. Three massive rocks of mass m1=584 kg, m2=838 kg, and m3=322 kg have blocke

d a busy road. The rocks are lined up from left to right in the order m1, m2, and m3. The city calls a local contractor to use a bulldozer to clear the road. The bulldozer applies a constant force to m1 in order to slide the rocks off the road. Assuming the road is a flat, frictionless surface and the rocks are all in contact, what force, ????A, must be applied to m1 to slowly accelerate the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s2?

Answer:

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

Explanation:

Total force required = Mass x Acceleration,

F = ma

Here we need to consider the system as combine, total mass need to be considered.

Total mass, a = m₁+m₂+m₃ = 584 + 838 + 322 = 1744 kg

We need to accelerate the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s²

That is acceleration, a = 0.250 m/s²

Force required, F = ma = 1744 x 0.25 = 436 N

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

Near the equator, the patterns of convection currents are called ________.
tatyana61 [14]
<span>Near the equator, the patterns of convection currents are called Hadley Cells.
</span>

Hadley Cells refers to the low-latitude overturning movements that have air increasing at the equator and air dropping at roughly latitude of 30 degree and these cells are also responsible for the trade winds in the Tropics and control low-latitude patterns of weather.

A man who works for a moving company is loading a box onto a moving van. He pushes a 200N box up a 5m long ramp. If he pushes wi
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

η = 0.667 = 66.7%

Explanation:

The efficiency of the man can be given by the following formula:

η = output/input

where,

η = efficiency of man = ?

output = potential energy gain of the box = Wh

input = work done by man = Fd

Therefore,

\eta = \frac{Wh}{Fd}

where,

W = weight of box = 200 N

h = height gained by box = 1 m

F = force exerted by man = 60 N

d = length of ramp = 5 m

Therefore,

\eta = \frac{(200\ N)(1\ m)}{(60\ N)(5\ m)}

<u>η = 0.667 = 66.7%</u>
