It is overhead at the equator, it is because the sun ray’s
will be moving vertically as this will be directed at the equator. It is
because if it moves vertically, it will hit or overhead the equator and this
usually happens in spring and fall.
Answer:
A) 89.39 J
B) 30.39J
C) 23.8 J
Explanation:
We are given;
F = 30.2N
m = 3.5 kg
μ_k = 0.646
d = 2.96m
ΔEth (Block) = 35.2J
A) Work done by the applied force on the block-floor system is given as;
W = F•d
Thus, W = 30.2 x 2.96 = 89.39 J
B) Total thermal energy dissipated by the whole system which includes the floor and the block is given as;
ΔEth = μ_k•mgd
Thus, ΔEth = 0.646 x 3.5 x 9.8 x 2.96 = 65.59J
Now, we are given the thermal energy of the block which is ΔEth (Block) = 35.2J.
Thus,
ΔEth = ΔEth (Block) + ΔEth (floor)
Thus,
ΔEth (floor) = ΔEth - ΔEth (Block)
ΔEth (floor) = 65.59J - 35.2J = 30.39J
C) The total work done is considered as the sum of the thermal energy dissipated as heat and the kinetic energy of the block. Thus;
W = K + ΔEth
Therefore;
K = W - ΔEth
K = 89.39 - 65.59 = 23.8J
Mass is the amount of matter in a material while weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon the mass.
The law of universal gravitation says that one object attracts every other object using a proportional force to the mass of the object.
