21. A 60 kg student on a scooter is pushed with a constant force of 40 N across a horizontal concrete driveway at a constant spe

ed of 2 m/s. What is the magnitude of the force of friction that acts against the wheels of the scooter?

The magnitude of the force of friction is 40 N

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we just have to analyze the forces acting on the student and the scooter along the horizontal direction. We have:

- The constant pushing force forward, of magnitude F = 40 N

- The frictional force, acting backward, F_f

Since the two forces are in opposite direction, the equation of motion is

F-F_f = ma

where

m is the mass of the student+scooter

a is the acceleration

However, here the scooter is moving at constant speed: this means that its acceleration is zero, so

a = 0

And therefore,

F - F_f = 0\\F_f = F

which means that the magnitude of the force of friction is also equal to 40 N.

viva [34]

You are crossing the event horizon of a black hole

When you are feeling like spaghetti and you are normally only about 2 meters tall, you are now about 25 meters long, then look up over your head, you see things moving pretty quickly in the universe but that lasts only a brief instant, and then all contact with the universe is lost, you are crossing the event horizon of a black hole.

<h3>What happens when you are crossing the event horizon of a black hole?</h3>
  • The point of no return is the black hole's event horizon.
  • Anything that continues beyond this point will be absorbed by the black hole and disappear from the known universe forever.
  • The black hole's gravity is so strong at the event horizon that it cannot be overcome or resisted by any mechanical force.

<h3>Is it possible to endure inside an event horizon?</h3>
  • As a result, the individual would survive and gently float over the event horizon of the black hole without being harmed or stretched into a long, thin noodle.

<h3>What occurs beyond the horizon of the event?</h3>
  • A singularity is a truly tiny point that lies beyond the event horizon where gravity is so strong that space-time itself is infinitely bent.
  • The principles of physics as they exist presently break down at this point, making any hypotheses about what lies beyond mere conjecture.

A system releases 255 cal of heat to the surroundings while delivering 428 cal of work. what is the change in internal energy of
vichka [17]

Answer:-683 cal

Explanation:

Given

Heat released by system Q=-255 cal

as heat released is taken as negative and vice-versa

Work done by system W=428 cal

From First law of thermodynamics

Q=\Delta +W , where \Delta U=change in internal Energy

\Delta U=-255-428=-683
