4. A box of books weighing 325 N moves at a constant velocity across the floor when the box is pushed with a force of 425 N exer
Rudik [331]

Answer:

0.61°

Explanation:

Since the box move at constant velocity, it means there is no acceleration then we can say it has a balanced force system.

Pulling force= resistance force

From the formula for pulling force,

F(x)= Fcos(θ)

= 425×cos(35.2)

=347N

The force exerted downward at an angle of 35.2° below the horizontal= Fsin(θ)= 425sin(35.2)

=425×0.567=245N

Resistance force= (325N+ 245N) (α)= 570N(α)

We can now equates the pulling force to resistance force

570 (α)= 347N

(α)= 347/570

= 0.61

Dina has a mass of 50 kilograms and is waiting at the top of a ski slope that’s 5.0 meters high.
Over [174]
All of Dina's potential energy Ep is converted into kinetic energy Ek so Ep=Ek, where Ep=m*g*h and Ek=(1/2)*m*v². m is the mass of Dina, h is the height of ski slope, g=9.8 m/s² and v is the maximal velocity. 

So we solve for v:

m*g*h=(1/2)*m*v², masses cancel out,

g*h=(1/2)*v², we multiply by 2,

2*g*h=v² and take the square root to get v

√(2*g*h)=v, we plug in the numbers and get:

v=9.9 m/s. 

So Dina's maximum velocity on the bottom of the ski slope is v=9.9 m/s.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

no, when a plastic rod is rubbed with a duster, electrons are transferred from one material to the other. The material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. The material that loses electrons becomes positively charged.
