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.

One situation is force applied to a moving object in the direction of its motion. The second situation is force applied to a moving object in the opposite direction of its motion. The third situation of force creating can be force that is applied to an object in motion that comes from arbitrary directions.

An empty container has a mass of 3 g. When it is filled with 5 cm3 of a liquid,
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

THE MASS OF THE LIQUID IS 22.5 g

Explanation:

Density = 0.180 g/cm3

Side length = 5 cm

Mass = unknown

To calculate the mass of the liquid, we use the formula:

Mass = density * volume

Volume of a cube or cuboid container = l^3

Volume = 5 ^3 = 125 cm3

So therefore, the mass of the liquid is:

Mass = 0.180 * 125

Mass = 22.5 g

In conclusion, the mass of the liquid in the container is 22.5 g

A football is thrown due north across a 40 meter river and it takes 2 seconds to cover that distance.
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

I. Speed = 20m/s

II. Velocity = 20m/s due North.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Distance = 40m

Time = 2secs

To find the speed;

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Speed = \frac{40}{2}

<em>Speed = 20m/s.</em>

In physics, we use the same formula for calculating speed and velocity. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and as such has magnitude but no direction while velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

<em>Therefore, the velocity is 20m/s due North</em>.
