A cord is attached to the box and run through a pulley directly above the box, so that the cord is vertical. The free end of the

cord is then connected to a hanging weight. Calculate the force exerted by the ground on the box (in lb), if the hanging weight is 10.5 lb.

Answer:

The answer is given here would be a simplified equation, seeing as there are some missing variables in the question.

<u>F1 = T- 46, 674.656 gm/s² </u>

Explanation:

<em>Note: Once we have the mass of the second object and/or acceleration of the cord, we can solve for the force of the ground acting on the box.</em>

To calculate the force caused by gravity on the basic pulley system we use the following equation:

F2 = M2 x g; where g= gravitational acceleration (a constant equal to 9.8 m/s²). The mass M2 = 10.5 lb = 4762.72g

∴ F2 = 4762.72g x 9.8 m/s²

= 46, 674.656 gm/s² or 46, 674.656 N

But since this F2 is acting in a downlowrd direction, it would be negative.

Tension of the cord, T = Mass, x × acceleration. ( x is in the pulley diagram)

⇒ F1 = T - F2

<u>F1 = T- 46, 674.656 gm/s² </u>

Two positive point charges are 4.9cm apart. If the electric potential energy is 70.0 μJ, what is the magnitude of the force betw
ExtremeBDS [4]

Hi there!

Recall the following:

V \text{ (Electric Potential Energy) } = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r}\\\\F_E = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

k = Coulomb's Constant (Jm/C²)

q = Charge (C)
r = distance between charges (m)

To calculate the electric force between the two charges, we can simply divide by another 'r' (distance):

F_E = \frac{70}{0.049} = \boxed{1428.57 \mu J}

A pair of electrically charged objects attract each other with a force of 4 N when they are a distance of 3 m apart. If their ch
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

1 N

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

The force of attraction between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.

From the question,

Assuming the charges are the same in both case,

F ∝ /r²....................... Equation 1

Fr² = k

F'r'² = Fr²........................... Equation 2

Where F' = First Force, r'² = First distance, F = second force, r² = second distance.

make F the subject of the equation,

F = F'r'²/r².................... Equation 3

Given: F' = 4 N, r' = 3 m, r = 6 m

Substitute into equation 3

F = 4(3²)/6²

F = 36/36

F = 1 N

A particular X-ray photon has initial energy of 60 keV when it enters the body. This photon transmits through 30 cm of soft tiss
ankoles [38]

Answer:

E = 7.334 KeV

Explanation:

given,

initial energy = 60 keV

Δ x = 30 cm

E = E_0e^{-\mu \Delta x}

μ(for soft tissue) = 0.7 cm⁻¹ (taken from table)

E = E_0e^{-0.7\times 20}

         E = 60 × 0.1224

         E = 7.334 KeV

energy of x-ray photon after travelling through 30 cm soft tissue in body is E = 7.334 KeV
