You pull with a force of 295 N on a rope that is attached to a block of mass 22 kg, and the block slides across the floor at a c

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Fnet = 0

Explanation:

Since the block slides across the floor at constant speed, this means that it's not accelerated.
According Newton's 2nd Law, if the acceleration is zero, the net force on the sliding mass must be zero.
This means that there must be a friction force opposing to the horizontal component of the applied force, equal in magnitude to it:

$F_{appx} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * cos 35 = 242 N (1)$

In the vertical direction, the block is not accelerated either, so the sum of the normal force and the vertical component of the applied force, must be equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the block:

$F_{appy} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * sin 35 = 169 N (2)$

⇒ 169 N + Fn = Fg = 216 N (3)

This means that there must be a normal force equal to the difference between Fappy and Fg, as follows:
Fn = 216 N - 169 N = 47 N (4)

A car is running at a velocity of 50 miles/hour and the driver accelerates the car by 10miles/hour.How far the car travels from

dezoksy [38]

Initial velocity u = 50 miles/hour
acceleration a = 10 miles/hour
Time t = 2 hours
Distance travelled S = ut + (at^2)/2
Substituting the values in the second equation of motion,
S = 50*2 + (10 * 2 *2)/2
S = 100 + 20
S = 120 miles
Therefore the distance travelled by the car in the next two hours is 120 miles

A 60 kg boy and 40 kg girl stand on skateboards on a frictionless horizontal surface. The boy pushes the girl away from him. The

bezimeni [28]

Here in the above situation when boy pushes the girl there will be equal and opposite force on boy as per Newton's III law.

Due to this action reaction law boy will also go back with some speed.

Since there is no external force on this girl + boy system so we can use momentum conservation principle here.

As per momentum conservation

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

$60*0 + 40*0 = 60*v_{1f} + 40*0.3$

$0 = 60*v_{1f}+ 12$

$v_{1f} = -0.2 m/s$

So boy will go back with speed 0.2 m/s

Part b)

Since the boy and girl will always exert same force on each other by Newton's III law so it has no it matter whether the boy pushed the girl, the girl pushed the boy, or they put their hands together and pushed each other away.

As in all above cases the as per Newton's III law the force on them is always equal and opposite.

The intensity at a distance of 6.0 m from a source that is radiating equally in all directions is 6.0 × 10-10 w/m2 . what is the

satela [25.4K]

The intensity is defined as the ratio between the power emitted by the source and the area through which the power is calculated:
$I= \frac{P}{A}$ (1)
where
P is the power
A is the area

In our problem, the intensity is $I=6.0 \cdot 10^{-10} W/m^2$ . At a distance of r=6.0 m from the source, the area intercepted by the radiation (which propagates in all directions) is equal to the area of a sphere of radius r, so:
$A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (6.0 m)^2 = 452.2 m^2$

And so if we re-arrange (1) we find the power emitted by the source:
$P=IA = (6.0 \cdot 10^{-10}W/m^2)(452.2 m^2)=2.7 \cdot 10^{-7} W$
