Answer:

Explanation:

A force of $55\text{ }N$ is acting on a wagon along the road. The wagon weights $7.5\text{ }kg$ . Acceleration of the wagon is given as $5.3\text{ }\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

Consider the block as the system, the forces acting are Frictional force, Gravitational force, Normal reaction and External force applied by us.

Gravitational Force and Normal Reaction cancel out each other.

Net External Force = Mass of system/wagon $\times$ Acceleration of wagon

$F_{ext}-F_{friction}=(7.5\text{ }kg)\times(5.3\text{ }\frac{m}{s^{2}})=39.75\text{ }N\\55\text{ }N-F_{friction}=39.75\text{ }N\\F_{friction}=15.25\text{ }N$

$F_{friction}$ has a negative sign because it opposes the motion of the wagon.

∴ Frictional Force = 15.25 N

Type the correct answer in the box. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Calculate the man’s mass. (Use PE = m × g × h

Blababa [14]

Answer:

56 kg

Explanation:

The change in potential energy of the man is given by:

$\Delta U = mg \Delta h$

where

m is the man's mass

g is the gravitational acceleration

$\Delta h$ is the change in height of the man

In this problem, we have:

$\Delta U=4620 J$ is the gain in potential energy

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

$\Delta h=8.4 m$ is the change in height

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the numbers, we find the mass:

$m=\frac{\Delta U}{g\Delta h}=\frac{4620 J}{(9.8 m/s^2)(8.4 m)}=56 kg$

A box full of charged plastic balls sits on a table. The electric force exerted on a ball near one upper corner of the box has c

tatuchka [14]

We have that the values for F north, F east, F up are

$F_N=1.09090909*10^{-5}$
$F_E=5.18181818*10^{-6}$
$F_E=2*10^{-6}$

From the Question we are told that

electric force $F_1 = 1.2 x 10^{-3} N(N)$

electric force , $F_2=5.7 x 10^{-4} N(E)$

electric force , $F_3=2.2 x 10^{-4} N (U)$

charge on this ball one $q_1= 110 nC.$

charge on this ball two $q_2= -50 nC.$

Generally the equation for the F north is mathematically given as

$F_N=\frac{F_1}{q_1}\\\\F_N=\frac{ 1.2 * 10^{-3} )}{110}$

$F_N=1.09090909*10^{-5}$

For F East

$F_E=\frac{F_2}{q_1}\\\\F_E=\frac{5.7 x 10^-4 }{110}$

$F_E=5.18181818*10^{-6}$

For F UP

$F_U=\frac{F_3}{q_1}\\\\F_U=\frac{2.2 x 10^-4 }{110}$

$F_E=2*10^{-6}$

How can submarines use echolocation to tell how close they are to the bottom of the ocean?

Lapatulllka [165]

To locate a specific target or to determine how close submarines are to the seafloor, they use active and passive sound navigation and ranging (or a SONAR, in simple terms.) It emits pulses of sound waves that travel through the water, reflect off the target and relayed back to the ship. By determining how fast the sound wave travels back, the computers on the sub calculate how far they are from the target.

Hope this helps.
