Iron is a magnetic metal, and it is essential to the Earth's magnetic field!
Essentially it "records" (stores the information, maintains) the direction and orientation of the magnetic field.

Among others, the magnetic field protects the Earth from dangerous cosmic rays.

A 5592 N piano is to be pushed up a(n) 3.79 m frictionless plank that makes an angle of 30.1 ◦ with the horizontal. Calculate th
otez555 [7]

Answer:

10628.87 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Force applied =F=5592 N

\theta=30.1^{\circ}

Displacement=D=3.79 m

We have to find the work done in sliding the piano up the plank at a slow constant rate.

Work done=F\times displacement

The perpendicular component of force=FSin\theta=5592sin(30.1)=2804.45N

Work done =Fsin\theta\times D=2804.45\times 3.79=10628.87 J

Hence, the work done in sliding the piano up the plank at a slow constant rate=10628.87 J

a 2100-kg car drives with a speed of 18 m/s onb a flat road around a curve that has a radius of curvature of 83m. The coefficien
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

<u>The magnitude of the friction force is 8197.60 N</u>

Explanation:

Using the definition of the centripetal force we have:

\Sigma F=ma_{c}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}

Where:

  • m is the mass of the car
  • v is the speed
  • R is the radius of the curvature

Now, the force acting in the motion is just the friction force, so we have:

F_{f}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}

F_{f}=2100\frac{18^{2}}{83}

F_{f}=8197.60 \: N

<u>Therefore the magnitude of the friction force is 8197.60 N</u>

I hope it helps you!
