A 4.00-kg box sits atop a 10.0-kg box on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the two boxes and betwe

en the lower box and the table is 0.600, while the coefficient of static friction between these same surfaces is 0.800. A horizontal pull to the right is exerted on the lower box, as shown in the figure, and the boxes move together. What is the friction force on the UPPER box?

First, we have to calculate the normal forces on different surfaces.The normal force on the 4.00 kg, N1 = (4)(9.8) = 39.2 N. The normal force on the 10.0 kg, N2 = (14)(9.8) = 137.2 N. Looking at the 10.0 kg block, the static forces that counteract the pulling force equals the sum of the friction from the two surfaces. Fc = N1 * 0.80 + N2 * 0.80 = 141.12 N. Since the counter force is less than the pulling force, the blocks start to move and hence, kinetic frictions are considered.


Therefore, f1 = uk * N1 = (0.60)(39.2) = 23.52 N.

Two objects are placed in thermal contact and are allowed to come to equilibrium in isolation. The heat capacity of Object A is
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat capacity A = 3 x heat capacity of B

initial temperature of A = 2 x initial temperature of B

TA = 2 TB

Let T be the final temperature of the system

Heat lost by A is equal to the heat gained by B

mass of A x specific heat of A x (TA - T) = mass of B x specific heat of B x ( T - TB)

heat capacity of A x ( TA - T) = heat capacity of B x ( T - TB)

3 x heat capacity of B x ( TA - T) = heat capacity of B x ( T - TB)

3 TA - 3 T = T - TB

6 TB + TB = 4 T

T = 1.75 TB

which of the following refers to the motion of an object falling straight down with only the force of gravity acting on it​
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Since you haven't provided any choices, then the answer is "Free Fall Motion."

Explanation:

In order to learn more about the answer, let's discuss what free fall motion is.

Free Fall- In Physics, this refers to any body motion that is acted upon solely by <u>"gravity."</u> The acceleration in free fall is always downward and there's the absence of other forces. Take note that the<em> acceleration should be the same and is independent of the object's mass. </em>This acceleration is called "acceleration due to gravity."

Gravity- This refers to the force that pulls any object towards the center of the earth.

<u>Examples of Objects in Free Fall Motion</u>

1. A ball dropped at the top of a building.

2.  Dropping a coin from a table.

The ball and the coin are both in free fall motion because they are being pulled by gravity towards the earth. Their acceleration is also constant and there are no other forces acting upon them.

Heat is added to an open pan of water at 100.0°c, vaporizing the water. the expanding steam that results does 43.0 kj of work, a
vampirchik [111]
Heat = change in internal energy + Work done The internal energy of a system = heat added and mechanical work done by the system, i.e. U = Q + W rearranging the formula above, will give us: Q = deltaU + W 
Q = U - W = 604 kJ - 43.0 kJ = 561,000 J would be the answer.

In the ENGR 10 lab (E391), there are 50 long light bulbs (P=100 W) and 30 regular bulbs (P=60 W). How much energy is consumed li
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Total energy saving will be 0.8 KWH

Explanation:

We have given there are 50 long light bulbs of power 100 W so total power of 50 bulb = 100×50 = 5000 W = 5 KW

30 bulbs are of power 60 W

So total power of 30 bulbs = 30×60 = 1800 W = 1.8 KW

Total power of 80 bulbs = 1.8+5 = 6.8 KW

Total time = 3 hour

We know that energy E=power\times time=6.8\times 3=20.4KWH

Now power of each CFL bulb = 25 W

So power of 80 bulbs = 80×25 = 2000 W = 2 KW

Energy of 80 bulbs = 2×3 = 6 KWH

So total energy saving = 6.8-6 = 0.8 KWH
