a) See free-body diagram in attachment

b) The acceleration is 2.46 m/s^2

Explanation:

a)

The free-body diagram of an object is a diagram representing all the forces acting on the object. Each force is represented by a vector of length proportional to the magnitude of the force, pointing in the same direction as the force.

The free-body diagram for this object is shown in the figure in attachment.

There are three forces acting on the object:

  • The weight of the object, labelled as mg (where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration of gravity), acting downward
  • The applied force, F_a, acting up along the plane
  • The force of friction, F_f, acting down along the plane

b)

In order to find the acceleration of the object, we need to write the equation of the forces acting along the direction parallel to the incline. We have:

F_a - F_f - mg sin \theta = ma

where:

F_a = 15 N is the applied force, pushing forward

F_f = 5 N is the frictional force, acting backward

mg sin \theta is the component of the weight parallel to the incline, acting backward, where

m = 2 kg is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\theta=15^{\circ} is the angle between the horizontal and the incline (it is not given in the problem, so I assumed this value)

a is the acceleration

Solving for a, we find:

a=\frac{F_a - F_f - mg sin \theta}{m}=\frac{15-5-(2)(9.8)(sin 15^{\circ})}{2}=2.46 m/s^2

Why are heat transfers associated with phase changes known as latent or "hidden" heats?
pshichka [43]
The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the first choice or letter A.

Heat transfers associated with phase changes known as latent or "hidden" heats because h<span>eat absorbed or released in a phase change is measured in kJ while temperature is measured in °C.</span>

A balloon is ascending at 12.4m/s at a height of 81.3m above the ground when a package is dropped. a) How long did it take to re
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

3secs

Explanation:

Given the following parameters

height H= 81.3m

Velocity v = 12.4m/s

Required

Time it take to reach the ground

Using the equation of motion

H = ut+1/2gt²

81.3 = 12.4t + 1/2(9.8)t²

81.3 = 12.4t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 12.4t - 81.3 = 0

Using the general formula to find t

t = -12.4±√12.4²-4(4.9)(-81.3)/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√153.76+1593.48/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√1747.24/9.8

t = -12.4+41.8/9.8

t = 29.4/9.8

t = 3secs

Hence it took 3secs to reach the ground
