The value of the friction force is 5.4 N

Explanation:

In order to solve the problem, we have to write down the equation of the forces along the horizontal direction.

We have only two forces acting along the horizontal direction:

  • The horizontal component of the pull of the student, F cos \theta, forward
  • The friction force, F_f, backward

The resultant force must be equal to the product between mass and acceleration (Newton's second law), so we can write:

F cos \theta - F_f = ma

where:

F = 50 N is the force of pull of the student

\theta=45^{\circ} is the angle relative to the horizontal

m = 20 kg is the mass of the box

a=1.5 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Solving the equation for F_f, we find the value of the friction force:

F_f = Fcos \theta -ma=(50)(cos 45^{\circ})-(20)(1.5)=5.4 N

A fuel pump sends gasoline from a car's fuel tank to the engine at a rate of 5.64 10-2 kg/s. the density of the gasoline is 735
Irina18 [472]
Given:
Gasoline pumping rate, R = 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s
Density of gasoline, D = 735 kg/m³
Radius of fuel line, r = 3.43 x 10⁻³ m

Calculate the cross sectional area of the fuel line.
A = πr² = π(3.43 x 10⁻³ m)² = 3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Let v =  speed of pumping the gasoline, m/s
Then the mass flow rate is 
M = AvD = (3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²)*(v m/s)*(735 kg/m³) = 0.027166v kg/s

The gasoline pumping rate is given as 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s, therefore
0.027166v = 0.0564
v = 2.076 m/s

Answer:  2.076 m/s
The gasoline moves through the fuel line at 2.076 m/s.

Afina-wow [57]

Explanation:

Understanding that stars are naturally quite hot, imagine I pulled a piece of hot iron from a furnace. It would glow a bright red, and then slowly fade to black as the iron cools.

White dwarfs glow for the same reason - they are HOT!
