Explanation :

When a person is sliding with constant velocity, the forces that are acting on him are :

(1) Weight, W = mg where g is acceleration due to gravity.

(2) Friction forces acting opposite to the direction of motion.

(3) Normal force.

The forces acting on the person is balanced because the person is sliding with constant velocity.

From figure it is clear that, friction force is balanced by w\ sin\theta and normal is balanced by w\ cos\theta.

Answer:

It is D.

Explanation:

Gravity and friction are acting on the person. The forces are balanced. There is no net force because the person is moving at a constant velocity. In this example, there is no net force when a mass moves at constant velocity. Although friction is acting on the person, there is no change in velocity and friction is not a net force in this case. Friction is only a net force if it changes the velocity of a mass. If friction slowed the person down, then there is a net force.

An engine absorbs 1749 J from a hot reservoir and expels 539 J to a cold reservoir in each cycle. a. What is the engine’s effici
Masja [62]

Answer:

a)η = 69.18 %

b)W= 1210 J

c)P=3967.21 W

Explanation:

Given that

Q₁ = 1749 J

Q₂ = 539  J

From first law of thermodynamics

Q₁   = Q₂ +W

W=Work out put

Q₂=Heat rejected to the cold reservoir

Q₁ =heat absorb by hot  reservoir

W= Q₁- Q₂

W= 1210 J

The efficiency given as

\eta=\dfrac{W}{Q_1}

\eta=\dfrac{1210}{1749}

\eta=0.6918

η = 69.18 %

We know that rate of work done is known as power

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

P=\dfrac{1210}{0.305}\ W

P=3967.21 W

contractor will use a package emulsion having a specific gravity of 1.25 and relative bulk strength of 130 to open an excavation
tester [92]

Answer:

The burden distance is 7 ft

Solution:

As per the question:

Specific gravity of package emulsion, SG_{E} = 1.25

Specific gravity of diabase rock, SG_{R} = 2.76

Diameter of the packaged sticks, d = 3 in

Now,

To calculate the first trail shot burden distance, B:

B = [\frac{2SG_{E}}{SG_{R}} + 1.5]\times d

B = [\frac{2\times 1.25}{2.76} + 1.5]\times 3 = 7.22

B = 7 ft
