A person is pushing a box.The net external force on the 60-kg box is stated to be 90 N. If the force of friction opposing the mo

tion is 30 N, what is the acceleration of the box?

Answer:

a = 1 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

mass of the person = 60 Kg

Net External force exerted = 90 N

force of friction opposing the motion = 30 N

acceleration of the box = ?

Net force = External force applied - frictional force

Net force = 90 - 30

net force = 60 N

we know

F = mass x acceleration

60 = 60 x a

a = 1 m/s²

acceleration of the box is equal to a = 1 m/s²

1.33 m^3 of fluid flows out of a pipe in 24.5 s. the fluid leaves the pipe at 3.55 m/s. what is the area of the pipe. (unit=m^2)
Margaret [11]

Answer:

0.015meter^{2}

Explanation:

Total volume of water coming out = 1.33meter^{3}

Also volume = Cross sectional area*Length covered

Length covered = Velocity *time

                           =24.5*3.55

                           =86.97 meter

Let the cross sectional area be A.

1.33 = 86.97*A

A =0.015meter^{2}

A parallel plate capacitor is charged up by a battery. The battery is then disconnected, but the charge remains on the plates. T
larisa [96]

Answer:

a. Decreases

b. Increases

c. Remains the same

d. Increases

Explanation:

a. Capacitance is given by c= Ak€/d

where A is conductivity plate with Area

K is a constant

€ is dielectric with permittivity.

d is the distance

b. Potential difference is given by

V = Ed, since, the electric field remains the

same, the potential diterence also increases with increase in distance.

Since the capacitance depends upon the distance, and all the other factors are kept constant, the capacitance decreases.

c. Electric field remains the same because charge on the

plate remains the same.

d. since electric field remains the same and capacitance decreases, the energy increases.

E= 1/2c * Q^2

A small plane flies 40.0 km in a direction 60° north of east and then flies 30.0 km in a direction 15° north of east. Use the an
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

d= 64.7 km

\theta = 40.9^{o}

displacement vector=r_xi + r_yj =  48.9i + 42.4j

Explanation:

total distance = 40 + 30 = 70 km

during 1st flight

r_1 x = 40*cos60

r_1 x = 20 km

r_1 y = 40*sin60

r_1 y = 34.64 km

during 2nd flight

r_2 x = 30*cos15

r_2 x = 28.9 km

r_2 y = 30*sin15

r_2 y = 7.76 km

the two component of r are:

r_x = r_1x + r_2x = 20 + 28.9 = 48.9 km

r_y = r_1y + r_2y = 34.64 + 7.76 = 42.4 km

Geographical Direction \theta = tan^{-1}\frac{r_y}{r_x} [tex]\theta = 40.9^{o}

Displacement d= \sqrt{r_x^2 + r_y^2}

                     d = \sqrt{48.9^2+42.4^2} = 64.7 km

d= 64.7 km

displacement vector=r_xi + r_yj =  48.9i + 42.4j
