(a) 34.6 N

To solve the problem, we have to analyze the forces acting along the horizontal direction.

We have:

- Forward: the component of the pull parallel to the ground, which is

F cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the pull

\theta=30^{\circ} is the angle

- Backward: the force of friction, which is

F_f = 30 N

So, the equation of motion is

F cos \theta - F_f = ma

where

m = 20 kg is the mass of the wagon

a is the acceleration

In this part, the wagon is moving at constant speed, so a =0 and the equation becomes

F cos \theta - F_f = 0

Therefore, we can find the pulling force:

F=\frac{F_f}{cos \theta}=\frac{30}{cos 30}=34.6 N

(b) 43.9 N

In this case, the acceleration is

a=0.40 m/s^2

So, the equation of motion in this case is

F cos \theta - F_f = ma

So this time we have to take into account the term (ma).

Using the  same data as before:

m = 20 kg

\theta=30^{\circ}

F_f = 30 N

We find the new magnitude of F:

F=\frac{ma+F_f}{cos \theta}=\frac{(20)(0.40)+30}{cos 30}=43.9 N

What happens to the electric potential energy of a negatively charged ion as it moves through the water from the negative probe
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Decreases.

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is the potential energy which is associated with the configuration of points charge in a system and it is the result of conservative coulomb force.

When the negatively charge ion is at the position of the negative probe than its potential energy is positive when it is move towards the positive probe it's potential energy becomes negative due to the negative ion.

Therefore, potential energy is decreases when negative charge ion moves through the water from negative probe to positive probe.

Contact [7]

Answer:

I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.

Explanation:

Since time dilates in moving objects, we use the formula t = t₀/√(1 - β²) where t = time in space vehicle, t₀ = time on earth = 9 hours and β = v/c where v = speed of space vehicle = 0.8c.

So, t = t₀/√(1 - β²)

t = 9/√(1 - (v/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8c/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.64)

= 9/√0.36

= 9/0.6

= 15 hr

So, according to a timer on the space vehicle, I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.

A spherical shell has inner radius 1.5 m, outer radius 2.5 m, and mass 850 kg, distributed uniformly throughout the shell. What
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The magnitude of the gravitational force is 4.53 * 10 ^-7 N

Explanation:

Given that the magnitude of the gravitational force is F = GMm/r²

mass M = 850 kg

mass m = 2.0 kg

distance d = 1.0 m , r = 0.5 m

F = GMm/r²

Gravitational Constant G = 6.67 × 10^-11 Newtons kg-2 m2.

F = (6.67 × 10^-11 * 850 * 2)/0.5²

F = 0.00000045356 N

F = 4.53 * 10 ^-7 N
