Answer:

Frictional force, F = 45.9 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the box, W = 150 N

Acceleration, $a=3\ m/s^2$

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the wagon's surface is 0.6 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4.

It is mentioned that the box does not move relative to the wagon. The force of friction is equal to the applied force. Let a is the acceleration. So,

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{150}{9.8}$

$m=15.3\ kg$

Frictional force is given by :

$F=ma$

$F=15.3\times 3$

F = 45.9 N

So, the friction force on this box is closest to 45.9 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Each of two small non-conducting spheres is charged positively, the combined charge being 40 μC. When the two spheres are 50 cm

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

1.44 x 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

$q_{1}$ = charge on one sphere

$q_{2}$ = charge on other sphere

$q$ = Total charge on the two spheres = 40 μC

$q_{1}+ q_{2}$ = $q$

$q_{1}+ q_{2}$ = 40 x 10⁻⁶

$q_{1}$ = (40 x 10⁻⁶) - $q_{2}$ eq-1

$r$ = distance between the two spheres = 50 cm = 0.50 m

$F$ = magnitude of force between the two spheres = 2.0 N

Magnitude of force between the two spheres is given as

$F = \frac{k q_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

$2.0 = \frac{(9\times 10^{9}) ((40\times 10^{-6}) - q_{2}) q_{2}}{0.50^{2}}$

$q_{2}$ = 1.44 x 10⁻⁶ C

What is the maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons when photons of wavelength 300 nm hit a metal that has a work function o

Sonja [21]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the photon, $\lambda=300\ nm=3\times 10^{-7}\ m$

Work function of the metal, $\phi=1.13\ eV=1.81\times 10^{-19}\ J$

We need to find the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electrons. It can be calculated using Einstein's photoelectric equation as :

$hf=E_k+\phi$

$E_k=hf-\phi$

$E_k=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}-\phi$

$E_k=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times \dfrac{3\times 10^8}{3\times 10^{-7}}-1.81\times 10^{-19}$

$E_k=4.82\times 10^{-19}\ J$

$E_k=3.01\ eV$

or

$E_k=3\ eV$

So, the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electrons is 3 ev. Hence, this is the required solution.

belka [17]

Answer:

the answer is 30°

Explanation:

due to:

sin law of sines

$\frac{sin 90}{200} =\frac{sin\beta }{100}\\arcsin(100\frac{sin90}{200} )= 30°$
