Hi im a little stuck on this question that came from my textbook in class it got a little confusing for me because i really dont

Consult the attached free body diagram.

By Newton's second law, the net force on the crate acting parallel to the surface is

∑ F[para] = (370 N) cos(-20°) - f = 0

(this is the x-component of the resultant force)

where

• (370 N) cos(-20°) = magnitude of the horizontal component of the pushing force

• f = magnitude of kinetic friction

The crate is moving at a constant speed and thus not accelerating, so the crate is in equilibrium.

Solve for f :

f = (370 N) cos(-20°) ≈ 347.686 N

The net force acting perpendicular to the surface is

∑ F[perp] = n - 1480 N - (370 N) sin(-20°) = 0

(this is the y-component of the resultant force)

where

• n = magnitude of normal force

• 1480 N = weight of the crate

• (370 N) sin(-20°) = magnitude of the vertical component of push

The crate doesn't move up or down, so it's also in equilibrium in this direction.

Solve for n :

n = 1480 N + (370 N) sin(-20°) ≈ 1606.55 N ≈ 1610 N

Then the coefficient of kinetic friction is µ such that

f = µn   ⇒   µ = f/n ≈ 0.216

An effort of 200 N is used to lift a load of 800 N by using a lever. If the load is at a distance of 40 cm from the fulcrum then
Alchen [17]

The effort distance​ will be 160 cm.Applying the moment at the center as follows will provide the effort distance:

<h3 /><h3>What is the mechanical advantage?</h3>

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system, it is used to obtain the efficiency of forces in levers and pulleys.

Given data;

Effort,\rm F_e=00 N

Load,\rm P= 400 \ N

Distance from the fulcrum,\rm d=40 \ cm

The effort distance​ is found by applying the moment at the center as;

\rm F_e \times d= P \times  d' \\\\ 200 \  N \times d'=800 \ N \times 40 \ cm \\\\ d'=160 \ cm

Hence, the effort distance​ will be 160 cm

To learn more about the mechanical advantage refer to the link;

Sarah is 14 years old and skips school twice a week without any written explanation. What can she be charged with?
harina [27]

Answer:

Too many people are unaware or indifferent to that.” Fines can cost up to $500 per truancy, due within 30 days unless a judge gives an extension. For many students and families, it's another debt they can't pay. And if fines aren't paid, they can convert into an arrest warrant when a student turns 17.

I need to explain how objects can have the same volume but different mass. Help??
kaheart [24]
No problem, and you already know all about it.

Here are a few examples of same volume / different weight:

-- A bottle full of water is heavier than the same bottle when it's full of air.
-- Stones are heavier than styrofoam chunks the same size.
-- A bowl of meat loaf is heavier than a bowl of scrambled eggs.

In each example, two things have the same volume, but one weighs more than
the other.  I didn't say anything about mass yet, but that's easy:  As long as you
keep everything on Earth, more weight means more mass.

So how come, in each example, things with the same volume have different mass ?
This was your original question.

The answer is just the simple fact that there are millions of different substances, and
each different substance packs a different amount of mass into the same volume.

The amount of mass that a substance packs into a standard volume is called
the <em>density</em> of the substance.  Meat loaf is more dense than scrambled eggs.
Stone is more dense than styrofoam.  Water is more dense than air.  And <em>gold</em>
is 19 times as dense as water.  If you have a jar that holds a pound of water, and
you pour out the water and fill the jar with gold, the same jar holds 19 pounds of gold,
because the density of gold is 19 times the density of water.

The reason you were assigned to think about this question for homework is that
next time your Physics class meets, you'll start talking about <em>Density. </em><em /> And you're
all ready for it now.
