What causes a sealed bag of vegetables to expand when it is heated in a microwave oven?

1 answer:

3 0

Vegetables has moisture and during rise in the temperature the gas sealed and generated from moisture expands. Gas when heated or experience rise in temperature expands.

Evidence from fossils, glaciers, and complementary coastlines helps reveal how the plates once fit together. Fossils tell us when and where plants and animals once existed. Some life "rode" on diverging plates, became isolated, and evolved into new species.

The metric unit of force is the

grandymaker [24]

The unit of force is the 'Newton'.

1 newton is the force that accelerates 1 kilogram of mass
at the rate of 1 meter per second-squared.

1 N = 1 kg-m/s²

-- A force of 1 pound is about 4.448 newtons.

-- A force of 1 newton is about 3.6 ounces.

A large crate with mass m rests on a horizontal floor. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the crate and the

rjkz [21]

Answer:

a) $F=\frac{\mu_{k}mg}{cos \theta-\mu_{k}sin \theta}$

b) $\mu_{s}=\frac{Fcos \theta}{Fsin \theta +mg}$

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first do a drawing of the situation and a free body diagram. (Check attached picture).

After a close look at the diagram and the problem we can see that the crate will have a constant velocity. This means there will be no acceleration to the crate so the sum of the forces must be equal to zero according to Newton's third law. So we can build a sum of forces in both x and y-direction. Let's start with the analysis of the forces in the y-direction:

$\Sigma F_{y}=0$

We can see there are three forces acting in the y-direction, the weight of the crate, the normal force and the force in the y-direction, so our sum of forces is:

$-F_{y}-W+N=0$

When solving for the normal force we get:

$N=F_{y}+W$

we know that

W=mg

and

$F_{y}=Fsin \theta$

so after substituting we get that

N=F sin θ +mg

We also know that the kinetic friction is defined to be:

$f_{k}=\mu_{k}N$

so we can find the kinetic friction by substituting for N, so we get:

$f_{k}=\mu_{k}(F sin \theta +mg)$

Now we can find the sum of forces in x:

$\Sigma F_{x}=0$

so after analyzing the diagram we can build our sum of forces to be:

$-f+F_{x}=0$

we know that:

$F_{x}=Fcos \theta$

so we can substitute the equations we already have in the sum of forces on x so we get:

$-\mu_{k}(F sin \theta +mg)+Fcos \theta=0$

so now we can solve for the force, we start by distributing $\mu_{k}$ so we get:

$-\mu_{k}F sin \theta -\mu_{k}mg)+Fcos \theta=0$

we add $\mu_{k}mg$ to both sides so we get:

$-\mu_{k}F sin \theta +Fcos \theta=\mu_{k}mg$

Nos we factor F so we get:

$F(cos \theta-\mu_{k} sin \theta)=\mu_{k}mg$

and now we divide both sides of the equation into $(cos \theta-\mu_{k} sin \theta)$ so we get:

$F=\frac{\mu_{k}mg}{cos \theta-\mu_{k}sin \theta}$

which is our answer to part a.

Now, for part b, we will have the exact same free body diagram, with the difference that the friction coefficient we will use for this part will be the static friction coefficient, so by following the same procedure we followed on the previous problem we get the equations:

$f_{s}=\mu_{s}(F sin \theta +mg)$
