Answer:

The horizontally applied force = 2360 N

Explanation:

<em>Force:</em> Force can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration. the S.I unit of force is Newton (N)

Fh = Fr + ma......... Equation 1

Where Fh = horizontally applied force, Fr = friction force, m = mass of the crate, a = acceleration of the crate.

<em>Given: m = 400 kg, a = 1 m/s²</em>

Fr = 1/2 W, W = mg ⇒W = 400×9.8 = 3920 N

∴Fr = 1/2(3920), Fr = 1960 N

Substituting these values into equation 1

Fh = 1960 + 400×1

Fh = 1960 + 400

Fh = 2360 N

Therefore the horizontally applied force = 2360 N

In April 1974, Steve Prefontaine completed a 10 km race in a time of 27 min, 43.6 s. Suppose "Pre" was at the 8.13 km mark at a

SOVA2 [1]

Answer: $0.084 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Total time=27 min 43.6 s=1663.6 s

total distance=10 km

Initial distance $d_1=8.13 km$

time taken=25 min =1500 s

initial speed $v_1=\frac{8.13\times 1000}{25\times 60}=5.6 m/s$

after 8.13 km mark steve started to accelerate

speed after 60 s

$v_2=v_1+at$

$v_2=5.6+a\times 60$

distance traveled in 60 sec

$d_2=v_1\times 60+\frac{a60^2}{2}$

$d_2=336+1800 a$

time taken in last part of journey

$t_3=1663.6-1560=103.6 s$

distance traveled in this time

$d_3=v_2\times t_3$

$d_3=\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

and total distance $=d_1+d_2+d_3$

$10000=8.13\times 1000+336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

$1870=336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

$a=0.084 m/s^2$

A camera is equipped with a lens with a focal length of 34 cm. When an object 2.4 m (240 cm) away is being photographed, what is

puteri [66]

Answer:

The magnification is -6.05.

Explanation:

Given that,

Focal length = 34 cm

Distance of the image =2.4 m = 240 cm

We need to calculate the distance of the object

$\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

Where, u = distance of the object

v = distance of the image

f = focal length

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{34}-\dfrac{1}{240}$

$\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{103}{4080}$

$u =\dfrac{4080}{103}$

The magnification is

$m = \dfrac{-v}{u}$

$m=\dfrac{-240\times103}{4080}$

$m = -6.05$

Hence, The magnification is -6.05.
