You need a humongous force that you can apply to it.

A girl pushes a 1.04 kg book across a table with a horizontal applied force 10 points

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Approximately $11.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . (Assuming that $g = 9.81 \; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}$ , and that the tabletop is level.)

Explanation:

Weight of the book:

$W = m \cdot g = 1.04 \; \rm kg \times 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} \approx 10.202\; \rm N$ .

If the tabletop is level, the normal force on the book will be equal (in magnitude) to weight of the book. Hence, $F(\text{normal force}) \approx 10.202\; \rm N$ .

As a side note, the $F_N$ and $W$ on this book are not equal- these two forces are equal in size but point in the opposite directions.

When the book is moving, the friction $F(\text{kinetic friction})$ on it will be equal to

$\mu_{\rm k}$ , the coefficient of kinetic friction, times
$F(\text{normal force})$ , the normal force that's acting on it.

That is:

$\begin{aligned}& F(\text{kinetic friction}) \\ &= \mu_{\rm k}\cdot F(\text{normal force})\\ &\approx 0.35 \times 10.202\; \rm N \approx 3.5708\; \rm N\end{aligned}$ .

Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion. The friction here should act in the opposite direction of that $15.0\; \rm N$ applied force. The net force on the book shall be:

$\begin{aligned}& F(\text{net force}) \\ &= 15.0 \; \rm N - F(\text{kinetic friction}) \\& \approx 15.0 - 3.5708\; \rm N \approx 11.429\; \rm N\end{aligned}$ .

Apply Newton's Second Law to find the acceleration of this book:

$\displaystyle a = \frac{F(\text{net force})}{m} \approx \frac{11.429\; \rm N}{1.04\; \rm kg} \approx 11.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .

A 0.500 kg rock is whirled in a vertical circle of a radius 0.60 m . the velocity of the rock at the bottom of the swing is 4.0

OLEGan [10]

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is:

a = v² / r

a = (4.0 m/s)² / 0.60 m

a = 26.6 m/s²

What is the change in internal energy of the system (∆U) in a process in which 10 kJ of heat energy is absorbed by the system an

Trava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to first law of thermodynamics:

∆U= q + w

= 10kj+(-70kJ)

-60kJ

, w = + 70 kJ

(work done on the system is positive)

q = -10kJ ( heat is given out, so negative)

∆U = -10 + (+70) = +60 kJ

Thus, the internal energy of the system decreases by 60 kJ.
