It is because they cannot be divided. Everything is made up of atoms and they are the building blocks of every piece of matter.

A 5.50 kg sled is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal road. The sled is pulled a distance of 3.20 m by a force of 25.
kiruha [24]

(a) 69.3 J

The work done by the applied force is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where:

F = 25.0 N is the magnitude of the applied force

d = 3.20 m is the displacement of the sled

\theta=30^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement of the sled

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

W=(25.0 N)(3.20 m)(cos 30^{\circ})=69.3 J

(b) 0

The problem says that the surface is frictionless: this means that no friction is acting on the sled, therefore the energy dissipated by friction must be zero.

(c) 69.3 J

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by the applied force is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the sled:

\Delta K = W

where

\Delta K is the change in kinetic energy

W is the work done

Since we already calculated W in part (a):

W = 69.3 J

We therefore know that the change in kinetic energy of the sled is equal to this value:

\Delta K=69.3 J

(d) 4.9 m/s

The change in kinetic energy of the sled can be rewritten as:

\Delta K=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 (1)

where

Kf is the final kinetic energy

Ki is the initial kinetic energy

m = 5.50 kg is the mass of the sled

u = 0 is the initial speed of the sled

v = ? is the final speed of the sled

We can calculate the variation of kinetic energy of the sled, \Delta K, after it has travelled for d=3 m. Using the work-energy theorem again, we find

\Delta K= W = Fd cos \theta =(25.0 N)(3.0 m)(cos 30^{\circ})=65.0 J

And substituting into (1) and re-arrangin the equation, we find

v=\sqrt{\frac{2 \Delta K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(65.0 J)}{5.50 kg}}=4.9 m/s

Two resistors, R1 and R2, are
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The value of R₂ is equal to 24.75 ohms.

Explanation:

Given that,

Two resistors, R₁ and R₂, are  connected in parallel.

The equivalent resistance is 14.5 ohms

We need to find the value of R₂.

When two resistors are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is given by :

\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{14.5}=\dfrac{1}{35}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{R_2}=\dfrac{1}{14.5}-\dfrac{1}{35}\\\\\dfrac{1}{R_2}=0.04039\\\\R_2=\dfrac{1}{0.04039}\\\\R_2=24.75\ \Omega

So, the value of R₂ is equal to 24.75 ohms.
