QUESTION 3 ( MARKS]

Physics
1 answer:
horrorfan [7]4 years ago

Answer:

392 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the rod.  There are four forces acting on the rod:

At the wall, you have horizontal and vertical reaction forces, Rx and Ry.

At the other end of the rod (point X), you have the weight of the sign pointing down, mg.

Also at point X, you have the tension in the wire, T, pulling at an angle θ from the -x axis.

Sum of the moments at the wall:

∑τ = Iα

(T sin θ) L − (mg) L = 0

T sin θ − mg = 0

T = mg / sin θ

Given m = 20 kg and θ = 30.0°:

T = (20 kg) (9.8 m/s²) / (sin 30.0°)

T = 392 N

A worker pushes a box across the floor to the right at a constant speed with a force of 25N. What
icang [17]

Answer:

Friction between the box and the floor is 25N to the left

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the box along the horizontal direction:

- The force of push applied by the worker, in the forward direction, F

- The force of friction, F_f, acting in the opposite direction (backward)

So the net force acting on the box is

F_{net}=F-F_f

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass (m) and its acceleration (a), so we can write:

F_{net}=ma

And so

F-F_f = ma

However, in this case the box is moving at constant speed; this means that its acceleration is zero:

a=0

Therefore we have:

F-F_f=0

Which means

F_f=F

And since we are told that

F=25 N

This means that the force of friction is also 25 N:

F_f=F=25 N

How do determine which is Y2, Y1, X2, and X1 on a graph. <br><br> And how do find rise over run.
fredd [130]
One point will be X1,Y1 and the other will be X2,Y2. It does not matter which is which except that X1 and Y1 have to be the same point and X2 and Y2 have to be the same point. For example, let's say you were given (2,3) and (6,8). No matter which point is X1,Y1 and the other is X2,Y2, the slope will still be 5/4. 

The rise is the change in y from one point to the other. The run would be the change in x from one point to the other.

A 7.1 resistor and a 4.8 resistor are connected in series with a battery. the potential difference across the 4.8 resistor is me
Taya2010 [7]
For resistors in series in a DC circuit, the potential difference is proportional to the resistance.

The voltage V across the 7.1 ohm resistor can be found from the proportion
   V/7.1 = 12/4.8
   V = 7.1*12/4.8 = 17.75

The potential difference at the battery terminals is the sum of the potential differences across the two series resistors.
   Vbatt = 17.75 V + 12 V
   Vbatt = 29.75 V
