A constant force of 45 N directed at angle θ to the horizontal pulls a crate of weight 100 N from one end of a room to another a
Rasek [7]

Answer:

W=173.48J

Explanation:

information we know:

Total force: F=45N

Weight: w=100N

distance: 4m

vertical component of the force: F_{y}=12N

-------------

In this case we need the formulas to calculate the components of the force (because to calculate the work we need the horizontal component of the force).

horizontal component: F_{x}=Fcos\theta

vertical component: F_{y}=Fsen\theta

but from the given information we know that F_{y}=12N

so, equation these two F_{y}=Fsen\theta and F_{y}=12N

Fsen\theta =12N

and we know the force F=45N, thus:

45sen\theta=12

now we clear for \theta

sen\theta =12/45\\\theta=sin^{-1}(12/45)\\\theta =15.466

the angle to the horizontal is 15.466°, with this information we can calculate the horizontal component of the force:

F_{x}=Fcos\theta

F_{x}=45cos(15.466)\\F_{x}=43.37N

whith this horizontal component we calculate the work to move the crate a distance of 4 m:

W=F_{x}*D\\W=(43.37N)(4m)\\W=173.48J

the work done is W=173.48J

Which of the following processes DOES NOT occur during the convective transfer of heat within a container of air? Group of answe
vovangra [49]

The volume of a warmed part of the air is reduced and its density increases.

Explanation:

In a convective form of heat transfer, the volume of a warmed part of air is not reduced and its density does not increase.

During convection, heat causes the warm part of the air to expand and its volume increases. When volume increases, density is reduced.

  • Convection is a form of heat transfer that involves the actual movement of particles of the medium.
  • It usually occurs in fluids i.e gases and liquids.
  • In convection, the cold part exerts a buoyant force on the warmer air below and causes it to rise.
  • As the warmer part is rising the cooler part replaces it and a convective cell is formed in the process.
