A small box is held in place against a rough vertical wall by someone pushing on it with a force directed upward at 27 ∘ above t

he horizontal. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the box and wall are 0.40 and 0.30, respectively. The box slides down unless the applied force has magnitude 18 N. What is the mass of the box in kilograms?

Answer:

Explanation:

Applied force, F = 18 N

Coefficient of static friction, μs = 0.4

Coefficient of kinetic friction, μs = 0.3

θ = 27°

Let N be the normal reaction of the wall acting on the block and m be the mass of block.

Resolve the components of force F.

As the block is in the horizontal equilibrium, so

F Cos 27° = N

N = 18 Cos 27° = 16.04 N

As the block does not slide so it means that the syatic friction force acting on the block balances the downwards forces acting on the block .

The force of static friction is μs x N = 0.4 x 16.04 = 6.42 N   .... (1)

The vertically downward force acting on the block is mg - F Sin 27°

                                                      = mg - 18 Sin 27° = mg - 8.172    ... (2)

Now by equating the forces from equation (1) and (2), we get

mg - 8.172 = 6.42

mg = 14.592

m x 9.8 = 14.592

m = 1.49 kg

Thus, the mass of block is 1.5 kg.

What happens to the heat energy when you increase the length of an object​
Talja [164]

Answer: When the temperature of an object increases, the average kinetic energy of its particles increases. When the average kinetic energy of its particles increases, the object's thermal energy increases. Therefore, the thermal energy of an object increases as its temperature increases.

How can a gas become a good conductor? Simpler answers would be helpful.
Alex_Xolod [135]
A gas has to become ionisied in order to become a conductor. It must have a chain reaction in which atoms in it became unstable, in which they loose stabile electronic configuration. In order for a gas to become a conductor, it must have free particles, and it can happen only in ionisied gas.

A bus travels a distance of 120 km with a speed of 40km per hour and returns with a speed of 30km per hour calculate the average
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

35 km/hr

Explanation:

Average speed = (total of the speed)/(the sets of speeds given)

Direction does not matter in this instance since speed is only magnitude,

Average speed = (30 + 40)/2

Average speed = 70 ÷ 2

= 35 km/hr

A series circuit contains a 9-volt battery, a 3-ohm resistor and a 2-ohm resistor. What is the voltage drop across the 2-ohm res
BARSIC [14]
Since everything in the circuit is in series .. .

-- The total resistance is  (3 + 2) = 5 ohms.

-- The voltage across the 3-ohm resistor is 3/5 of the total voltage.

-- The voltage across the 2-ohm resistor is 2/5 of the total voltage.

                  (2/5) of (9 volts)  =  18/5  =  3.6 volts .
