A boy sits motionless partway down a playground slide. The force of friction balances the force of gravity. A girl hands the boy

a book. Why does the boy still not move? A. Holding the book does not effectively increase the mass of the boy. B. Newton's first law of motion does not apply because the boy is at rest. C. The force of friction and the force due to gravity increase together. Friction and gravity are still balanced. D. The mass of the book cancels out part of the mass of the boy.

C.  

The force of friction = coefficient of friction * normal force.  

Adding the book to the boy increases the normal force and the component of the gravitational force directed down the slide.  This in turn increases the force of friction as can be seen by the relationship from the above equation.  For a stationary object, the force of static friction is always equal to the force applied (in this case, it is the component of the gravitational force directed down the slide).  That means that so long as the boy is not moving and his mass increases, the frictional force is increasing also to balance the increased downward gravitation force directed down the slide.

QC In ideal flow, a liquid of density 850 kg / m³ moves from a horizontal tube of radius 1.00cm into a second horizontal tube of
kvv77 [185]

The  volume flow rates for ∆P is 6.81m³/s .

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The amount of force applied on perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area. The unit of it is pascal.

According to bernaulli's theorem theorem

P+1/2pV²+pgy = constant

where p fluid density

g is acceleration due to gravity, pressure at elevation,v is Velocity at elevation ,y is height of elevation.

As there are two tubes then the height of tube 1 is equal to height of tube two .

P1-P2=1/2p(Vd²-Vl²)

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. What is the canoe’s kinetic energy? A. 40 J B. 80 J C. 18 J
rusak2 [61]

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. 40 J is the canoe’s kinetic energy.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given canoe has the mass and is being given to move at a speed. Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe can be calculated using the following method,

Given that mass of the canoe = 20 kg and its speed =1 m/s

As we know that the Kinetic energy has the formula,

\text {Kinetic energy}=\frac{1}{2} \boldsymbol{m} \boldsymbol{v}^{2}

Therefore, substituting the value into the equation, we get,  

K . E .=\frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 2^{2} = 40 J

The surface is tilted to an angle of 37 degrees from the horizontal, as shown above in Figure 3. The blocks are each given a pus
hoa [83]

Answer:

Incomplete question: "Each block has a mass of 0.2 kg"

The speed of the two-block system's center of mass just before the blocks collide is 2.9489 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

θ = angle of the surface = 37°

m = mass of each block = 0.2 kg

v = speed = 0.35 m/s

t = time to collision = 0.5 s

Question: What is the speed of the two-block system's center of mass just before the blocks collide, vf = ?

Change in momentum:

delta(P)=F*delta(t)

P_{f} -P_{i}=F*delta(t)

2m(v_{f} -v_{i})=F*delta(t)

v_{i} =0.35-0.35=0

It is neccesary calculate the force:

F=(m+m)*g*sin\theta

Here, g = gravity = 9.8 m/s²

F=(0.2+0.2)*9.8*sin37=2.3591N

v_{f} =\frac{F*delta(t)}{2m} =\frac{2.3591*0.5}{2*0.2} =2.9489m/s

n a car lift used in a service station, compressed air exerts a force on a small piston that has a circular cross section of rad
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: 1477.78 N

Explanation:

Let's assume that the cross sectional area of the smaller piston be A1

let's also assume the cross sectional area of the larger piston be A2

We assume the force applied to the smaller piston be F1

We also assume the force applied to the larger piston be F2

we then use the formula

F1/A1 = F2/A2

From our question,

The radius of the smaller piston is 5 cm = 0.05 m

The radius of the larger piston is 15 cm = 0.15 m

The force of the larger piston is 13300 N

The force of the smaller piston is unknown = F

A1 = πr² = 3.142 * 0.05² = 0.007855 m²

A2 = πr² = 3.142 * 0.15² = 0.070695 m²

F1/0.007855 = 13300/0.070695

F1 = (13300 * 0.007855) / 0.070695

F1 = 104.4715 / 0.070695

F1 = 1477.78 N

Thus, the force the compressed air must exert is 1477.78 N
