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:

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

How can we calculate the e.m.f of the battery?.

cluponka [151]

Explanation:

The emf is equal to the work done on the charge per unit charge (ϵ=dWdq) when there is no current flowing. Since the unit for work is the joule and the unit for charge is the coulomb, the unit for emf is the volt (1V=1J/C).

Answer:

0.208 N

Explanation:

We are given that

$q_1=q_2=2.06\mu C=2.06\times 10^{-6} C$

$q_3=q_4=-2.06\mu C=-2.06\times 10^{-6} C$

The magnitude of the net electrostatic force experienced by any charge at point 4

Net force, $F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2_1+F^2_3+2F_1F_3cos90^{\circ}}-F_2$

$F_1=F_3=F$

$F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2+F^2+0}-F_2$

$F_{net}=\sqrt 2F-F_2$

$F=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}$

$F_2=\frac{Kq^2}{2d^2}$

$F_{net}=\frac{\sqrt 2kq^2}{d^2}-\frac{kq^2}{2d^2}=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}(\sqrt 2-\frac{1}{2})$

Where $k=9\times 10^9$

$F_{net}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (2.06\times 10^{-6})^2}{(0.41)^2}(\sqrt 2-\frac{1}{2})$

$F_{net}=0.208 N$

You are tossing a ball directly up into the air. Before the ball leaves your hand, you are exerting a force directed against the

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

F n = 0.2 N

Explanation:

given,

you are exerting force of 10 N on the ball.

mass of the ball = 1 kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

normal force on the ball = ?

normal force is force exerted by the object to counteract the force from other object.

normal force acting on the ball will be

F n = F - mg

F n = 10 - 1 × 9.8

F n = 10 -9.8

F n = 0.2 N

Hence, normal force acting on the ball is equal to 0.2 N

A ball of mass 5 kg attached to a string is swung in a horizontal circle of radius 0.5 m. If the tension in the string is 10 N,

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

given,

mass of the ball = 5 kg

radius of the horizontal circle = 0.5 m

tension in the string = 10 N

Work done = ?

Work done by the tension in the circular path will be equal to zero.

This is because body moves in circular path, the centripetal force act along the radius of the circle and motion is right angle to the tension on the string.

so, work done = F s cos θ

θ = 90°,

work done = F s cos 90° ∵ cos 90° = 0

Work done = 0 J
