A block with a weight of 9.0 N is at rest on a horizontal surface. A 1.2 N upward force is applied to the block by means of an a

ttached vertical string. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the force of the block on the horizontal surface

Answer:

a)   9 - 1.2 = 7.8 N

b) Since the force exerted by the box is it's weight, it acts in a downward direction. So the box will exert a force downward (perpendicular to the horizontal surface).

Explanation:

A 9N block would exert 9N of normal force on the horizontal plane under normal conditions. But in this case, we have a spring taking away some of the force by applying an upward force on the box.

So the force exerted by the box on the surface would now be:

a)   9 - 1.2 = 7.8 N

b) Since the force exerted by the box is it's weight, it acts in a downward direction. So the box will exert a force downward (perpendicular to the horizontal surface).

How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?
charle [14.2K]
<span>The change in internal energy is only gravitional PE because the tube is being drug up at a constant speed. Since it is at a constant speed, the change in KE is 0. Change in PE = m*g*h = 78 kg * 10 m/s^2 * 30 m = 23400 J Work done on the system is from the force Work = force * distance = 350 N * 120 m = 42000 J So, work added 42000 J to the system, but the rider's energy only increased 23400 J. Therefore, friction took up the difference. Friction is where the thermal energy comes from Q = 42000 J - 23400 J = 18600 J. Therfore, friction generated 18600 J of heat to the surroundings.</span>

You are looking at a yellow flower growing outside in the sunshine. Why does it look yellow?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

It looks yellow because that is the only (major) color reflected.

Visible spectra is from about 4000-7000 Angstroms (10^-10 m).

Red are longer wavelengths and blue are the shorter wavelengths.

The Sodium doublet (yellow) occurs around 5900 Angstroms.
